I have been facilitating pastlife regressions since the mid 1970's, prior to and throughout my later professional academic life.

Carl Jung's writings on the problem of innocent suffering as well as books about Edgar Cayce's work initially stimulated my curiosity. Then, during a time when I was about to make a major change in my life by becoming a contemplative nun, a series of painful, puzzling dreams forced me to explore my own earlier lives. I discovered that I had been a traditional nun, priest, and monk in many religions. To do it again would be nostalgia, not growth. So I left that too-familiar path behind.

Having seen firsthand how crucial pastlife knowledge was, I then went about sharing the experience with willing friends and colleagues. With rare exceptions, nearly everyone can access their own earlier lives. For a surprising number of people, lives come through with moderate clarity (for a fortunate few, they are crystal clear and as detailed as a three hour movie -- which is about the length some sessions run). For others (myself included), lives might emerge in a sketchy manner, filled with gaps and unanswered questions -- yet much can nevertheless be accomplished by working with these fragments.

Some lives, by their very nature -- i.e., those that are unusually happy, dramatic, or traumatic -- come through in vivid detail. Other lives, except for a few highlights, might be mostly a blur (these "blurs" refute critics who dismiss pastlife memories as products of the imagination -- no one is so lacking in imagination that they could not fill in the blanks of these blurry lives, yet when I ask my clients what they are experiencing, they insist nothing else is "coming through" -- it doesn't even occur to them to invent something just to satisfy my questions).

For nearly thirty years I facilitated regressions only in groups or one-on-one.  Then one day I woke up and realized that the majority of people had grown quite sophisticated about light trance states, meditation, guided imagery, and metaphysical concepts like karma. I was suddenly having to explain less and less prior to beginning a session. People were familiar with their own processes and no longer needed a mother hen, just an experienced facilitator.

At that point I finally agreed to do what many people had been asking me to do for years: telephone regressions. Most of my work is now done this way.

Some comments from recent clients:

I haven't forgotten my amazing session with you in which I found myself coping with Stone Age conditions in Northern Europe. It was as real as what we call real life.
-Dr. Barbara Rogers Gardner, retired professor of literature and mythology; author of a wide range of books, including The Sai Prophecy (HCI Press) and Jung and Shakespeare (Chiron Press); sculptor, harpist; northern California

I have experienced Dr. Jenks' work on several occasions. Her understanding of myth is impressive. Her skill at facilitating your session to allow you to gain personal insight to current issues is what really makes a difference. My session allowed me to relax more and trust more -- moving me beyond an unconscious issue that had driven my entire life. The opportunity to watch her work on several occasions has also provided me with deep admiration for her as a colleague in the healing arts.
-Rev. Debra Basham, founder of Holistic Alliance, St. Joseph's, Michigan

Whether you consider past lives literal or metaphorical, Dr. Jenks' work is intelligent, sensitive, insightful. The information I received was very beneficial. -Dr. Joel Bowman, co-developer of Subtle Communication Systems, Kalamazoo, Michigan

Awesome!  It changed my life!
-Rachel McHugh, actress, New York City
