I’m a Jungian Psychoanalyst (IAAP), a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and an expert in the inseparable relationship between the body and psyche.

The purpose of analysis and embodiment is to open us up TO BEING MOVED by life again and to fall back in love with being alive. I live in wonder and awe of the strength of the human spirit and the unique ways we all long to express and manifest who we truly are in our relationships and in the world. I believe in the power of bringing the body and psyche together to recover who we were truly meant to be in our lives.

For over twenty years, I have been a movement and somatic coach and embodiment educator working with a diverse clientele worldwide, many of whom have suffered deeply from emotional or physical pain, longing to come back into meaning and vitality. I have a depth of expertise in the effects of chronic and traumatic stress and general emotional overwhelm and how they manifest in the body and psyche. Bringing together my many years of somatic study, over twenty years of clinical experience, extensive personal Jungian Analysis, and professional training as a Jungian Analyst, I have developed a body of work, Jungian Somatics™.

Through a bio-psychosocial and anti-oppressive lens, I consider embodiment and movement powerful alchemic tools for helping us get unstuck in our lives. I’ve witnessed remarkable emotional and energetic shifts when people come into deeper awareness and conscious dialogue with emotional states, which often present themselves in subtle ways in the body or communicate through dreams and symbols that I work with somatically.

Bringing cultural humility to my offerings, I have delivered workshops and speaking engagements for organizations including the Jung Society of Utah, Canadian Centre for Victims of Torture in Toronto, where I achieved certification in the Torture, Trauma Psychosocial Impact & Mental Health program. I founded and created a groundbreaking professional training program, Movement for Trauma, that I offered hundreds of psychotherapists and somatics practitioners from across the globe for many years. I am also a member of The Breathe Network, which connects sexual violence survivors with trauma-informed healing arts practitioners. I have been both a keynote speaker and seminar leader presenting on Jungian Somatics at the Jung Society of Utah and secondary/vicarious trauma prevention and compassion fatigue for several organizations, including the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs, Fire Service Women of Ontario, sexual violence support workers for Ontario universities and front-line social services workers and counsellors and also twice presented at the Trauma Talks conference at Women’s College Hospital. I am an internationally published author, a former wellness columnist, and a weekly radio health segment producer and I have extensive media engagement experience. During the pandemic, I created two seasons of a full-length podcast, “Clapp with Jane”, featuring activists, trauma experts and artists working to make the world more connected and hopeful.
