Anchoring Spirit with Jennifer Badach Founder of Inner Essence Acupuncture Clinic in Edmonton

As part of our 30 Love Stories series, featuring women entrepreneurs, creatives, and healers from our global community.

Meet Jennifer Badach, registered acupuncturist, yoga teacher, energy worker, and founder of Inner Essence Wellness in Edmonton.

Jennifer’s path to healing was forged through profound personal loss. She lost both parents at a young age: her father suddenly, witnessed before her own young eyes; her mother slowly, shortly after. These experiences became the catalyst for her spiritual growth and her passion for helping others heal at the level of body, mind, and spirit.

She initially pursued nursing, only to realise that the western medical model was treating illness rather than cultivating health. That search brought her to acupuncture, and now to the study of Esoteric Acupuncture, blending Sacred Geometry, the Hindu Chakra system, and Traditional Chinese Medicine to help people connect with higher aspects of themselves.

We have finally gotten to a place in our society where we recognise the importance of body and mind. But we still leave out the realm of spirit. We are all three.

What is your biggest challenge right now?

As a highly sensitive person and empath, my biggest challenge is maintaining healthy boundaries and discerning my own energy from something I may have absorbed from a client. I ground myself with meditation before each session. I clear and smudge afterward. These practices are not optional for me. They are essential.

What daily ritual are you practising right now?

Yoga. Always, always yoga. Some days it is asana. Some days it is stillness, pranayama, meditation. Recently it has begun to include tantric practices with my husband. I am never not amazed at how many ways yoga can enter a life.

What is your dharma in two words?

Anchoring Spirit. To anchor the connection to spirit into our human lives. When spirit is anchored into our physicality, we heal faster. We approach our emotions with more grace, love, and compassion, whether for ourselves or for others.
