About Me
Jen Faragitakis, MA, RP
Welcome! I'm glad you're here.
Reaching out for support isn't always easy, and I want you to know you don't have to do this alone.
I work with women who feel overwhelmed, weighed down by stress, stuck in old patterns, or disconnected from the calm, clarity, and sense of self they long for.
For many years, I was someone who pushed through.
I worked through lunch.
I struggled to sit still and relax.
I skipped the stretching after a workout because there was always something else to do.
Reading a novel was something I saved for vacation.
Watching TV felt acceptable only when I was sick or completely exhausted.
Like many women, I became very good at caring for responsibilities while slowly losing touch with myself.
After my second child was born, I remember sitting in the bath with a notebook, trying to answer a simple question:
What do I actually enjoy?
I realized I wasn't entirely sure anymore.
Somewhere along the way, I had lost connection with hobbies, interests, rest, and many of the things that once helped me feel like myself.
That experience shaped not only my personal journey, but also how I work with women today.
Whether through therapy or restorative wellness experiences, my goal is to offer a compassionate space where women can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and make room for the parts of life that often get pushed aside.
Sometimes healing begins with making space for yourself again.
