About Holistic Awakenings | Counseling & Holistic Care in Allentown, PA
Our Story

A sanctuary for mind, body & spirit

Holistic Awakenings was born from a deep-rooted belief that real healing begins when we treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. For years, we've offered the Lehigh Valley a different kind of space, one where evidence-based clinical care meets intuitive, integrative wisdom.

Our Philosophy

Healing the whole person, not just the symptoms

We understand health and wellness as a harmonious balance between the mind, body, and spirit. Our approach moves beyond the limitations of treating symptoms in isolation, instead reaching for the root, the place where lasting healing actually lives.

That means bringing together licensed clinical methods and integrative, holistic wisdom in a way that feels neither rushed nor formulaic. Every person who walks through our doors carries their own story, their own pace, their own needs. We meet you there.

  • Rooted in clinical excellenceLicensed clinicians, evidence-based methods, and trauma-informed care form the steady ground beneath everything we do.
  • Open to integrative wisdomBrainspotting, Reiki, energy work, and intuitive practice live alongside traditional therapy. We honor what each person responds to most.
  • Always honoring youYour pace, your pieces, your unique path. We walk with you so you never have to feel alone on your journey.
Our Approach

A team practice, made to support deep work

When you reach out to Holistic Awakenings, you're not booking a slot with a single therapist. You're being welcomed into a practice with multiple practitioners, each with their own strengths, modalities, and personalities. Our care coordinator helps match you with the right fit, so the work that follows can feel grounded from the very first session.

Reach out simply

Call, email, or send a message. Share as much or as little as feels right, and we'll take the next step from there.

A practical first call

Our care coordinator walks through insurance, scheduling, and what you're hoping to work on. No pressure, just honest conversation.

Matched with care

You're connected with the practitioner whose skills and style best fit what you're moving through, in person in Allentown or by telehealth.

Jenna Galligani, MS, LPC

Founder, Holistic Awakenings

Jenna founded Holistic Awakenings in 2018 with a vision of bringing people together to create a tribe of support, empowerment, and deep healing at a soul level. The practice grew out of more than fifteen years of clinical experience, and out of her own lived journey.

In 2012, Jenna lost her remaining sight. In her own words:

"I had partial sight prior to this, but in about a week I went from seeing color, faces, being able to see the computer, and so much more to nothing but light and dark. Then I realized I needed to take back the power in my life. This blind thing was not going to stop me from living the life I want and deserve."

What followed was, as she describes it, a beautiful journey of self-discovery. She found her voice. She connected to herself more deeply than ever. She rebuilt her life on her own terms, and that rebuilding became the foundation of the work she now offers others.

Jenna's clinical training is rooted in counseling psychology, and her healing work blends Brainspotting, intuitive Reiki, and mind/body techniques drawn from years of integrative study. She developed Reiki Brainspotting, the practice's signature modality, to support healing on every layer at once: physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual. She has also provided Brainspotting for blind and visually impaired clients, and trained other practitioners in enhanced attunement for this work.

Her presence as a practitioner is grounding, intuitive, and unhurried. She believes the body knows what it needs to release, and her role is to create the safety that lets that release happen.

What We Believe

The values that shape our work

These aren't a list we wrote for marketing. They're the heartbeat of how we show up for every person who walks through our doors.

Leading with our hearts

Compassion isn't a technique. It's the place we begin every session, every conversation, every step alongside you.

Trusting intuition

Inner knowing has been overlooked for too long. We honor your intuition as a real and trustworthy guide to your own healing.

Whole-person healing

Mind, body, and spirit are not separate things. Real healing tends to all three together, and rarely arrives any other way.

Honoring every person

Every life carries its own challenges, strengths, and wisdom. We meet you where you are, without judgment, and at your pace.

Mutual respect & inclusion

We embrace diversity, openness across cultures and genders and abilities, and the truth that every life experience matters.

Getting to the root

Symptoms are signals, not the whole story. Lasting healing comes from tending the root, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

More than one path, more than one practitioner

Holistic Awakenings is a true team practice. Our licensed clinicians and certified practitioners each bring their own training, lived experience, and intuitive gifts to the work. What we share is a single philosophy: that healing is a whole-person journey, and that every person we walk with deserves to feel seen, heard, and met at their pace.

When you reach out, our care coordinator will help match you with the practitioner who fits what you're working through.
