Hello and welcome to the podcast.
I'm so excited to have you here to get started if you could talk a little bit about yourself.
And I love to hear the journey like why people do what they do and how they got to where
they are today if you could talk a little bit about that.
Thank you so much for having me Tina.
I appreciate it.
So my name is Dr. Jennifer Schluter and the way this story starts is that I was born and
raised in a very small town in Germany and my family was very much sped apart and my
parents the worse and it was just like, it was not a happy family.
At 19 I decided to move to the US by myself to go to LA and to study and to work there.
So out of college I got a job and it was being managing editor of six newspapers first
and then I got to be managing editor of 22 newspapers and it was a great job.
It was a fun time.
I got to do crazy things and it was a lot of fun and I had a great team but there was something
missing.
So I felt like, hmm, I'm reporting on neighbors reporting on neighbors for not watering
their grass or for using too much water in their grass or whatever, right back then we
had a water crisis and I was just like, hmm, no, yeah.
And so I wasn't quite fulfilled in the job and then my personal life kind of went down
a negative spiral as well.
I made really bad decisions with guys in alcohol as many probably can relate as well.
Yeah, yeah.
So my friend told me, Jenny, you have to go to my hypnotherapist.
She's helped me so much.
I want you to go there like try it.
And this was a friend that I really trusted and I said, okay, let me do it.
I went to her hypnotherapist and the very, very first session that we did, all I remember
is sitting down on a chair.
She put me into hypnosis, which is just a relaxation.
And then she said something about putting all my shit into a hot air balloon basket and
let it fly off.
Which I did.
Which I did.
And the next day I woke up and I was like, I'm creating my job.
I'm going to move to Paris for six months and then I don't know what's going to have
it.
And I'm like, baby, I'm going to quit my job.
I'm going to move to Paris for six months.
She's like, Jenny, why just Paris?
Why not just travel the world?
What are you limiting yourself?
And I was like, oh my god, this is the best friend I could have.
Yeah.
And so six months later I was on the road traveling and working for another hypnotherapist as a
virtual assistant, getting more hypnotherapy and seeing how much it really helped me.
And then I decided to study it myself and get into helping people myself.
And I really loved it.
But before I made the decision to fully go into that 100% as working five jobs, burnt myself
out, got super colossus and was at the end of everything pretty much.
And I was like, okay, if I want to continue, I cannot continue with five different jobs.
I need to do one and I need to focus on one and do it.
That's it.
So that's what I did.
And then I started with working with all kinds of people, depression, anxiety, money, relationships,
everything because I thought it was such a fun and interesting topic and everything boiled
down to self worth.
So it really didn't matter what I was working on.
And then I got to work with people who had pain and they came to me with like tension that
they've had in their body for the whole lives.
They came to me with back pain, they came to me with not being able to get pregnant, all
of that stuff.
And I was like, whoa, okay.
And then I was able to help most of them within a single session to get rid of their pain,
their tension, get pregnant, all of that, which was, wow, yeah, I really liked those tangible
results because you can really see and feel how a person changes.
And then my friend came to me and she said, Jenny, I have chronic back pain.
I've had it for a year.
I cannot get rid of it.
I've done exercise, I've done a change of nutrition, I've done a video, Cairo, everything.
And I said, okay, let's do a session.
Let's just see what happens.
And after one session, she was pain free.
It was a while.
And so she said, Jenny, I know so many women with endometriosis.
Can you please help them with that?
Like this is really something that is dear to my heart.
And I said, I want to try because I've never tried, but I want to try.
And please send me one of your friends so we can try.
And one of them came to me and after one session, she was like, no appeared pain, barely any
more period pain, went dancing on the first day on a period, no more root swings, no more
cravings, like the change was insane.
Wow.
And back then I was working on my PhD and I wanted to do a case study on women with endometriosis
and helping them with hypnotherapy and breath work to really release the emotional root
cause and what is causing them to or what has caused them in their past or past lives or
with their ancestors to help them become pain and symptom free or really reduce pain and
symptoms.
And it worked.
And this is how I got where I am.
That's amazing.
That's so interesting.
And so I have so many questions actually.
First of all, one that's like completely off topic really, but when you traveled around
the world, what was one of your favorite places?
I am here, which is South Africa and I've chosen to settle down here because I really love
it.
I love it.
It's the people, the animals, the humans, the food, the landscape is just really beautiful.
Beautiful.
I love that.
Okay.
So, so do you primarily work with women that have endometriosis right now or you still
work with people with stress and anxiety and stuff like that?
So I primarily, my primary focus is that because I also wanted to put it into a peer reviewed
study.
I still get referrals from people like, hey, can I do, can I work on this?
Can we work on this?
Can we, I'm like, sure, sure we can.
My main focus is really putting that into a study so that more people can know about it.
That's, that's really cool.
That is really cool.
That's good to know if I, if I know anybody else on them your way, but this is good.
But do the podcast and get the word out so that so many, so many women suffer from endometriosis.
I think my mom was one of them.
She ended up having like a complete hysterectomy when she was like in her 40s and which was devastating,
you know?
I didn't understand it myself at the time.
I was like a young teenager and you know how horrible young teenagers can be, but, but
I can appreciate it now.
So tell me a little bit about the process of the hypnotherapy and do you, because I know
you do your breathwork facilitator and you do EFT, do you combine all three of those things
when you're working with a woman or do you primarily focus on the hypnotherapy and then
sometimes use those other practices?
So in my case study, I was developing my process.
And at first I would be seeing like, okay, just just one session is just one session good.
Is it three?
What is the sweet spot?
What do I combine?
What do I do?
And intuitively I developed a process where within the first session we do hypnotherapy
and with that session we go back to the root cause.
The root cause can either be in your childhood with your ancestors or your past life.
And in hypnotherapy, you can find that out.
It's super easy for people to find out when you relax them, then your body will tell you,
okay, this is where it started.
And that is the beauty of hypnosis because it really makes you relax and then you can go
deeper and deeper.
And then the second session is breathwork and I'm doing it.
So the breathwork that I do is called holotropic breathing or conscious consecutive breathing,
which not you usual typical breathwork that most people know.
Like the box breath, for example, holotropic breathing is you breathe in and out of your
mouth with no breaks in between for about 35 to 50 or even longer minutes, which is a long
time.
Yeah, it's intense.
I did a session once and it was pretty intense.
And tell me why you use that type of breathwork and what that does for the person.
Yeah, so I use that type of breathwork because also for me, my first session was like life
changing, mind blowing.
It was crazy.
So I felt so light and freed afterwards because we never breathe so much, so much oxygen.
And it also releases DMT, DMT is a chemical that is being released right before you die as
well.
So and it's also the chemical in a few different drugs and it's just a way to really connect
to to the universe, I would say, to source, to create or to whatever you want to call it.
And it gives your body, like your body had an innate intelligence, right?
So if you set the intention with the breathwork, it will happen.
Whether you set the intentions of help me release all the pain and symptoms related to endometriosis,
let that go and let your body do the work without you having to think.
Or you set the intention, I want to feel God, I want to feel Jesus, I want to feel that love
energy, I want to feel one.
You get to do all of that, whatever you want.
And it has two parts.
So it has the part of breathing where you release everything and then it has the part of you
just relaxing afterwards.
And that's the part where you get visions where it's like the angels are working on you,
your spirit guides are working on you, whatever you believe in is like working.
And that's why it's so powerful and so beautiful.
And I feel like you can really connect and people have told me like, yeah, there's only
maybe been three times in my life where I was that close to God.
And it's just a wonderful, wonderful feeling.
And then the third session of the process is to connect with either the womb for the endometriosis
clinesis with the connecting with the womb or if you have back pain, it would be with your
back.
And then going to your future self who is already healed and asking that future self, what
is it that I need to do now to improve my situation?
Is it nutrition?
Is it exercise?
Is it relaxing?
Because most of us for most of us women it's really relaxing because we don't do that
we can't take care of it.
No, we're not very good at that.
So do you do that third session as like a meditation or something like that?
Or is it just also hypnosis?
That's also that's a hypnosis.
So you have like, so you do you're doing three sessions, a hypnosis session, then the
breath work and then hypnosis again.
That's cool.
And you find that that's really like been working out for your clients.
That's the most powerful combination is.
Yes, go ahead.
With the first hypnosis when you're looking for the source, right, or right, the cause
or whatever you want to call it, how often is it like past lives or, you know, what was
the other one you said I'm trying to remember and I can't remember past lives.
Ancestors past lives.
The ancestors in the past life, how often is it that?
Interestingly enough, for almost everyone is the ancestors.
And it's in our maternal line because we as the women have been silenced, betrayed, we've
kept anger, grief, all the emotions.
We've been assaulted and it's been a really hard time for women.
So most of the time it's the women, the maternal line of ancestors and it's sometimes ancestors
that we don't even know anymore.
Interesting.
That's very interesting.
I could see that too.
As I, the older I get, now a lot of the women in my family have passed because I'm 57.
So like even if they were alive, they would be quite old.
But I became really intrigued by the ancestors on my mother side specifically because of everything
that they did in their lives and the time periods that they did them in was quite amazing actually.
So like my great-grandmother was like a single mother during the depression and into like
the fifties and you know, and she did really well for herself.
But she, one of the things I noticed, I talk about her a lot on the podcast because I'm
just like very intrigued by it.
But the way my family talked about her was not very respectful.
Like she was, you know, like this crazy old lady or whatever.
I'm like, what are you talking about?
Like she was amazing.
Like she was a single mom during the depression, right?
She went into business with like this famous like hat designer.
She did really well for herself and she bought a house on the water on Long Island and kind
of like retired and she took care of her family.
She took care of her daughter and her grandchildren.
I'm like, that's amazing to do that during that time period when it was, but it was like
kind of like talked about, talked about, it's like not cool to not have a husband kind
of deal, you know?
And so I just, and I just wonder like she never remarried and I just like wonder all these
things.
I wish I could talk to her.
Like I had like a chance to like talk to one of my past ancestors.
It would be her.
I'd be like, I'd have like a list of questions.
So I could see how, you know, so much as held in by the women of our past on our mother's
side of the family.
So that's, I'm very interested in that.
Absolutely.
And can I just mention there's a free hypnosis on my accounts where you can actually talk
to a deceased loved one.
If you want to do that, you get to ask three questions and then you can do that.
Oh my God.
I'm so doing that.
I'm so doing that.
Is that on your website?
It's on my website and it's also on my TikTok and Instagram so I can send you the link.
Okay.
Cool.
Yeah.
And I'll put that in the show notes so people can experience that.
So I'd like to go back into the endometriosis and talk a little bit about why do we hold that
trauma in the tissues in our body?
Like how can you explain that to the audience and to me to have it like make sense?
Because it sounds a little like woo, woo, right?
But it's, it's a very well known topic.
I mean, a lot of people that do this type of work have read the book, the body keeps the
score and stuff like that.
So maybe you could talk a little bit about that.
So I want to give you a simple example, right?
Let's say your mother or grandmother has had stress when she was pregnant.
Let's say maybe there was not enough money, maybe the baby wasn't expected, maybe the
baby was not wanted.
There is so much stress on a woman who's pregnant and then you, you get a freaking child.
So that is wild, right?
So it's like, holy shit, my life is going to change.
So that stress can simply be passed on.
And then with that, everything else too, imagine you have a, imagine you have a heartbreak
right now because that's many, that's a thing many people can relate to.
Heartbreak can either make you stronger or it can make you bitter.
It can make you sad.
It can make you pass away because if your partner of 50 years has died, then how many times
has it been proven scientifically that the partner dies very quickly after?
So this, all of these emotions, everything that we feel, if we don't, we don't get taught
to release these emotions.
We don't get taught, especially as women, to let out our anger.
We have to be the ones to be nice and be kind and be pleasant and then, and then, and
then.
So we don't get to, and where do you express your anger in a healthy way?
How do we get taught that?
There's no way we get taught that.
So I just want to mention quickly, if you want to do that, if you want to look into it,
do EFT, try EFT to do that or go to a radio room.
A radio room is the best way to get out your anger.
You can just smash bottles at the wall or something if you angry, do that because if you
don't do that, your emotions get stored in your body.
They don't get released, they get stored.
And when enough emotions are stored, for example, anger has to do with the liver.
Imagine alcoholics.
What are they often?
They're quite angry.
The more angry you get, the more gets stored in your liver.
Yeah.
And eventually, if you pass away from liver disease, you have had too much anger.
And so every part in your body, the heart is grief, the heart is loss.
So are the lungs all about that area here.
The lower back is security, can be financial security or relationship security.
The back part of your body is the past and the front is the future.
And so if, for example, if you have problems with your legs, you cannot walk anymore.
It's that you are afraid to step into the future.
Your room, our woman's room is the center of creation.
It's the space where we hold, if we get sexually assaulted throughout our lives, that's
where we hold the emotion of the sexual assault.
Not only in our hearts, yes, but also in our wounds.
And then if we, if society back in the day, right, with women, we were not allowed to be
single mothers.
It was frowned upon.
We were, yet alone, we were not allowed to be single.
Like people were like, what the fuck is wrong with her?
How can you not have them in?
So there's all these things that people have come up and society has come up.
And we are not releasing.
We're just putting it down, suppressing it.
And this is how trauma gets passed onto the next generation and sometimes to the next and
the next and the next and the next.
Yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
I could see that I had my, I have three children and my last pregnancy.
I had a lot of stress.
I had no business being pregnant, wanted, very wanted child, but I had so much stress.
And my daughter does have a lot of like anxiety.
I'm like, I'm so sorry, that's completely my fault.
I was like, I was like, I just like embedded that into your DNA because I was complete,
very anxious.
I had felt like, you know, my security was threatened.
I never felt safe, I never.
So yeah, I, I see that.
And my mom also was a ball of anxiety, very tightly wound.
It's like me, all of my kids and I'm like, how do I break the cycle?
Can we break, can we break this cycle?
It's just too much anxiety, you know?
And so one of the reasons I do what I do is because I've experienced so much anxiety in
my life.
So a question to that, even though this is off the topic of the endometriosis is if someone
comes to you like myself, I'm going to use myself as an example.
That has this, this, it's almost like, I feel like there's this over this blanket energy
of anxiety over me.
And I feel like I'm always constantly like doing things to like kind of navigate that.
And I feel like, I don't know if this is normal for most people.
I don't think it is.
Not that it's abnormal, but I feel like a lot of people do experience it.
So, and that anxiety just got worse when I went into menopause, which could be like a whole
another podcast interview where that is definitely a, you know, a symptom of parry menopause
and menopause because you're losing your estrogen.
And so I didn't know that at the time, but my anxiety was just like so much emphasized
through this time period and still like ongoing.
Would that be something that you could use hypnosis to help?
100%.
Yeah.
And just this week on my Instagram, I made a science week where I put all the studies of
anxiety and hypnotherapy.
And it helps really really well.
So my process, the three session process that I was talking about earlier, I would do the
same.
And additionally, I would give someone the tools to regulate themselves because anxiety is
a constant thing that you have to learn how to deal with, right?
You can get rid of the massive, overlying blanket of anxiety that you said, you can do that
absolutely.
But there will be moments of time where you will feel anxious.
That is just a human thing, right?
Yeah.
So, what I always do is I make sure my clients have all the tools because to be honest, I don't
want my clients to come back all the time.
I'm like, I want you to have everything that you can so that you can regulate yourself.
Because yeah, it's just a better and the way I found, or the things I found effective
on that is is a lot of EFT as well.
And teaching people how to do that.
That's a beautiful way to do it.
So talk a little bit about EFT because we didn't really talk about that.
What is EFT and tell me how that works?
EFT is emotional freedom technique.
Some people also know it as tapping.
And in EFT, you tap on different points in your body.
Some people may have seen that online or somewhere else.
And you tap on the meridian points in your body.
And what it does, it basically aligns your energy in your body.
So we have energy in our body that is flowing through people call it, shock-cross, people
call it, the river-in-point, some other people call it something else.
It's the same thing.
But the energy needs to flow, right?
So for example, if there's anything blocked in your chest because you're grieving or you
have anxiety and you feel that it is in your chest, you can just tap it out with EFT.
And what I like to do is there is EFT that teaches you to say, "I love myself and accept
myself even though I'm anxious."
There's also another thing that is similar to EFT that actually was, I don't know, I found
it as maybe not the completely correct word, but I want to say found it by Sarah Lemoria.
And her approach is that you say everything that you feel so you can really speak out your
feelings.
And why you're doing it, you tap.
And that is what I find really effective because that way you don't mask anything and that
way is a safe way to let out what you're feeling.
Like I said, anger, taking out your anger, how do you do that safely?
You can't go first and say, "Fuck you, I don't know."
Yeah, but we have to have the same way.
But I'm like, "I don't like the person who doesn't save a way if you tap and while you tap,
you can say all the things."
I really like that.
I actually took a tapping course a while ago and it never completely resonated with me.
And then I know so many people, I've had a few people on the podcast that it's life changing
for them.
It really, really works for them.
I like what you just said.
I feel like I would like that because as I'm speaking it, you're almost releasing that
energy and you're tapping on those meridian points, that makes sense to me.
I feel like instead of trying to, sometimes when I would do tapping, I felt like I was
almost trying to convince myself of something.
And me just not believing it deep on the inside.
And if I'm not 100% invested in it working, it's not going to work for me.
And that's probably why it didn't resonate with me.
So I'm going to try that.
I definitely find it very, that's very interesting.
I think that would be fun to do.
So tell me a little bit how people could connect with you.
Oh wait, before I go there, I just want to ask you one more question.
This is something I started asking the guests on the show.
And I would love to know you've accomplished so much in your life and you see, you seem
to be living a very full life and doing a lot of good things.
And I definitely appreciate you for that.
And what is in the future for you?
What do you want to speak into the world that you really, really would like to do?
Thank you so much.
So the future is definitely one thing is to study that I really want to bring about.
And I don't want it to stop at endometriosis, right?
I wanted to, this process that I've developed, I wanted to go into back pain, into anxiety,
into other physical things, like even menopause, period pain, whatever it is.
I want to try it with different things.
Because I know that when you have, when you're ill or when you have something in your body,
when you have tried exercise, nutrition, other stuff, some even surgery, and when it doesn't
work, it's your mind.
And I want people to know that and I want people to be able to really release that because
health is our number one, is my number one at least.
And I think our number one factor that if you have your health, you have so much, you
are so rich.
I know that when you release pain and symptoms, your life can be completely different and
you can really go step into everything that you wanted to do without being held back by
any type of illness.
And so this is one big thing I want to do.
There's definitely a book in me, I know that.
And retreats, I want to take people to South Africa and to Ethiopia and Egypt and, yeah,
the center is open.
And there's animals, lots of animals in the North.
Yes.
I am fast for some reason, I'm very fascinated with Egypt and that is on my bucket list.
I never thought of going to South Africa but I'm definitely open to that.
But Egypt is like someplace I really, really want to go.
I'm so fascinated with everything in Egypt.
It's a very cool place.
So yeah, put me on your retreat list when the time comes.
I love that.
So the study, the main focus, possibly a book and retreats in your future, that's wonderful.
So where can people find you so that they could stay in touch or connect with you or work
with you?
Yeah, so my website is mindyoursubconscious.com and when you go on to free gifts on the website,
you can find that's meditation we were talking about earlier and you can find a lot of other
ones.
I have YouTube just find me with my name, Instagram, Facebook, also with my name, available here.
Okay, we'll put all that in the show notes so that people can find you.
It's been such a pleasure talking to you.
Thanks for coming on and sharing what you know and thank you for the work that you're doing
in the world.
And thank you so much for having me and for your work because this podcast is also awesome.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
