Life & Work with Jasmine Jelsema of Grand Rapids

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jasmine Jelsema.

Jasmine, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
My connection to nature and belief in the body’s innate ability to heal have always guided me, but everything came into focus when I began studying mind-body medicine at Evergreen State College. There, I studied positive psychology, botany, herbalism, public health, and energy healing. I learned so much and developed a deep appreciation and curiosity for how the mind and body are interconnected.
Over the years, I became certified as a yoga teacher, Reiki master, Ayurvedic wellness coach, and sound practitioner. I am a forever student, and each healing method I learn adds a layer to how I understand healing as remembering of our wholeness.
I combine Reiki, Ayurveda, and yoga to gently guide others in reconnecting with their inner wisdom and self-healing abilities. My work is all about creating warm, inviting spaces where people can feel balanced, recharge their energy, and nurture their own healing journeys.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road, but what do they say?, “smooth waters don’t make for skilled sailors.” My path has been full of lessons in trust and starting over. When I moved from Washington back home to Michigan, everything in my life shifted, my community, my practice, my sense of belonging. It was both grounding and disorienting at the same time.
Rebuilding my life and practice here became a real journey of faith and flow. Balancing motherhood, college, and growing a business has taught me so much about patience, resilience, and listening to my intuition.
Every challenge helped shape the way I hold space for others now. The waves made me stronger, softer, and more connected to my purpose, to help others find their own light again, even when the path feels messy.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I hold space for people to reconnect with their bodies and energy through Reiki, Ayurveda, sound healing, and yoga. My work is all about helping people slow down, tune in, and remember their natural balance.
I’d say I’m most known for creating a calm, nurturing space where people feel safe to open up and heal. Clients often tell me they feel lighter, more grounded, and more like themselves again after a session. That’s what I’m most proud of: helping people come back home to their own energy.
What sets me apart is the way I blend my background in psychology and alternative medicine with intuition and spiritual practice.

Alright so before we go can you talk to us a bit about how people can work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
People can work with me through one-on-one Reiki, Sound Healing, and Ayurvedic wellness sessions, either in person or virtually. I also offer local yoga classes, sound baths, and healing circles.
I love partnering with other healers, wellness practitioners, and community spaces for workshops, retreats, and events that bring people together around healing, creativity, and connection.
The best way to support my work is by sharing Jasmine Moon Energy with your friends and/or attending an event; every bit of connection helps ( so thank you!).
