Jennifer Goldsworthy (she/her)
Founder of æther
A Path Forged in Transformation
Jennifer's journey into healing began amidst the vibrant intensity of New York City. Balancing a career in luxury branding with Donna Karan and Estée Lauder, alongside hosting and DJing rock and roll dance parties in downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn, she intimately understood the tension between creative expression and burnout. This awareness sparked a personal awakening, setting her on a new path.
Through the Bendheim Integrative Medicine at Memorial Sloan-Kettering, Wendy Miner, the Program Director, introduced Jennifer to the profound healing potential of massage therapy and Reiki. These practices revealed the profound interconnection between the mind, body, soul, and spirit, marking the beginning of a lifelong journey of self-discovery.
From New York to the UK – Experience & Evolution
From 2005 to 2009, Jennifer refined her craft at BLISS Spa in New York, gaining over 10,000 hours of clinical experience. During this time, she became certified in Reiki and Medical Massage for Cancer Patients, studied CranioSacral Therapy through the Upledger Institute and with Roger Gilchrist, and immersed herself in an integrated approach to healing.
Since relocating to the UK in 2009, Jennifer has cultivated a private practice rooted in Jungian psychology and the symbolic language of the soul. Her work incorporates archetypes, alchemy, fairy tales and folklore—tools that help clients explore their mythologies and reconnect with the Self.
Academic and Spiritual Deepening
In 2020, Jennifer earned a BA (Hons) in English Literature from the University of Bristol, graduating with a 2:1. Her dissertation, supervised by Dr Michael Malay, explored the travel writing of artist Ithell Colquhoun and the reawakening of animism within the Cornish landscape—an inquiry that wove together nature, spirit, and creative voice. She is currently completing her MA in Anthropology at the University of Bristol, where her research explores the intersections of the senses, embodiment, touch, healing, narrative and resistance.
Her spiritual studies are ever-deepening. She completed a two-year Tarot mentoring programme with Suzanne Corbie and has recently embarked on a three-year journey into Tarot and Non-Duality with Professor Camelia Elias. Her astrology practice continues to evolve through ongoing study with esteemed teachers at Asteria-Teaching, where she learns under Carole Taylor, DFAstrolS (author of Astrology: Using the Wisdom of the Stars in Your Everyday Life) and Kim Farley, DFAstrolS.
The Practice Today
Jennifer's current offerings include deep tissue massage, craniosacral therapy, Reiki, breathwork, and guided imagery—woven with her knowledge of archetypal psychology, tarot and astrology. Her work is gentle yet potent, trauma-informed and rooted in a holistic paradigm that honours the body as a sacred vessel of wisdom and transformation.
Jennifer is also a mother to two teenage daughters. She finds her grounding through Ashtanga yoga, swimming, gourmet cooking and reading. She is actively engaged in social justice and advocacy as part of the University of Bristol's Global Majority staff and student communities.
