“Creating is soulful work; Meaningful, beautiful, essential work. What could be more powerful than the intuitive act of Creation itself?”
Jen Cushman is a natural storyteller drawn to the imperfect, the quirky, the artsy and the authentic. She’s spent 25 years as a mixed-media artist and instructor, authored two jewelry-making books, has been widely published in national magazines. Jen’s been a guest artist on numerous DIY television shows and a contributing maker on the MadeTV network.
When the pandemic hit, Jen followed her heart and started a new business called Soul Stir Magic to virtually work one-on-one with clients as an empathic intuitive, energy practitioner and a creativity & life purpose coach for women ready to release old stories, family patterns and limiting beliefs that unconsciously hold them back from realizing their dreams and living their best lives.
In 2023, Jen again followed her intuition and began Soul Stirring Retreats with her life and now business partner Greg, where she invites adventurous women to join her and world-class guest artist instructors on art retreats to re-ignite their passionate maker hearts and refresh their spirit.
Each Monday, at 11:11 am Arizona time, Jen hosts her Magic Mondays livestreams on Facebook, where she does free mini readings for a handful of her live viewers using her own Joy FULL Oracle Card Deck for Creatives, Healers and Feelers that she self-published Nov. 2023. She also does her Magic Mondays Love & Learn on her YouTube channel where she teaches about personal growth, holistic wellness, energy practices or spirituality.
Jen’s purpose is to be a creative visionary and intuitive guide to help women tap into their inner knowing. When her clients discover their superpowers and radiate authenticity, happiness and purpose, it creates a chain of light that heals, shifts and soars not only their own lives but the lives of those they love.
Jen holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism with dual minors in Psychology and Sociology, as well as a number of advanced certifications including Master Practitioner in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Mental and Emotional Release® (MER), Certified Hypnotherapy, Reiki Master/Teacher, Huna energy practitioner, Angel Tarot Card reader, Positive Psychology Life Coach and Art Therapy Coach.
