Jessina Mehu (she-her)
Founder, Facilitator, Somatic Healing Guide, Energy Healing Practitioner
Jessina Mehu (she/her) is a trauma-informed somatic healing guide, modern-day eclectic witch, birth and rebirth doula, intuitive healer, and single mom whose lived experience has become the foundation of her life’s work. After surviving childhood abuse, domestic violence, religious trauma, profound grief, and the loss of her late husband, Jess discovered that healing wasn’t about becoming someone new—it was about remembering who she had always been. That realization now shapes every offering at Healing Light Studios. Known for creating safe, grounded bridges between science and spirituality, body and soul, ancient wisdom and modern understanding, Jess helps others reconnect with themselves through compassionate, trauma-informed care that honors each person’s unique path. Rather than leading people toward a predetermined destination, she gently walks beside them as they discover what healing, spirituality, and wholeness mean for themselves. Jess openly embraces the path of a modern-day eclectic witch and feels deeply called to help heal the witch wound by creating spaces where people can safely explore earth-based spirituality, intuition, and ritual without fear or shame. She believes spirituality is deeply personal and that every individual deserves the freedom to discover what feels true for their own heart and soul. Drawing from both lived experience and extensive professional training—including birth doula care, Kundalini Yoga and Meditation, Kundalini Rebirthing, Reiki, chakra and energy healing, somatic healing, breathwork, meditation, nervous system regulation, and trauma-informed practices—Jess creates experiences that are both deeply intuitive and thoughtfully grounded. Through weekly classes, monthly Full Moon rituals, Grief Circles, one-on-one private sessions, private group experiences, and the transformational Rising Goddess Journey, Jess invites others into safe, grounded spaces where they can heal, rise, remember, and become.
“Jessina has been an incredible support system for me throughout my life’s ups and downs. She’s been like a wise mentor, gently guiding me while I have been going through some big life changes with her encouragement, advice, and unwavering support. As a yoga practitioner, her classes create a calm, safe, and warm atmosphere filled with positive energy. Even though I’m a newbie to yoga and I still have a lot to learn, Jessina is so welcoming and explains things in a digestible way that’s easy to understand. Her reminders to be gentle with ourselves and adapt as needed are super helpful, especially for someone like me who’s new to it and trying to get back in shape. Music is a big part of my life, and her incorporation of music with movement and breathing really elevates the experience! That’s something that really stands out for me and helps me get into it! Jessina’s teachings and classes have had a huge impact on me. They’ve unexpectedly given me emotional releases during sessions. It’s been an exciting journey to explore this new chapter with such a passionate and dedicated instructor. Her guidance is really inspiring me to keep learning and growing in the practices I’ve learned from her. I highly recommend her classes to anyone looking for a transformative yoga experience. One thing that sets Jessina apart is her unique style and approach. She goes beyond traditional yoga practices and creates a nurturing and empowering space for women to discover support in a holistic way. She’s an amazing soul and I’m so happy I get to learn from her!” -Amanda Simmons
