Homes That Heal | Transform Your Home Into a Health and Wellness Sanctuary
Welcome to the Homes That Heal podcast! A show that will help you transform your home into a health and wellness sanctuary.
Hi! I am your host, Jen Heller. I am a wellness educator, infrared sauna expert, home health consultant, and your go-to resource for creating a life and home of health and happiness.
I believe life happens for you, not to you. I struggled with being overweight and tried various methods, but nothing worked. I suffered a mild stroke and discovered that I was heavy metal toxic. Through my journey, I not only healed myself but also gained a tremendous amount of knowledge. I discovered game-changing tools and met a ton of incredible people who have honestly changed my life. I transformed my home into the ultimate wellness haven, and it's my passion and purpose to share these stories and experiences with you.
On this show, I will deep dive into how you can improve your health and well-being. I will share the best tools and techniques for optimal wellness, including infrared sauna benefits and how to choose a sauna for your home or business. I will teach you how to harmonize your home with simple feng shui practices and how to create more wealth and abundance with a bagua map. PLUS, I will be answering your frequently asked questions about saunas in "Ask Jen" minisodes.
Every week, you will hear inspiring real-life stories and learn actionable steps you can take to build a healthier life and home. I will interview clients I have coached and experts in various fields. Our conversations will be loaded with insightful ways you can incorporate these practices and tools into your daily wellness wheel.
If you are looking for ways to optimize your health and elevate your home, this show is for you. Get ready for life-changing stories and take action to create YOUR HOME that heals. Subscribe now, and don't miss an episode.

Ep 87 | If you’ve been feeling anxious, burned out, or disconnected from your body, this episode is a gentle reminder that healing doesn’t have to be complicated. Often, real healing begins by returning to the basics—supporting the nervous system with nourishment, nature, and simple daily rhythms.
Jen sits down with Colleen Rathbun, board-certified wellness coach and registered nurse, to explore nervous system regulation, holistic mental health, and how food and environment impact anxiety, stress, and emotional well-being. You’ll hear how blood sugar balance, protein intake, and nervous system support can influence anxiety symptoms—and why so many people struggle when stress, nourishment, and lifestyle are out of alignment. This episode connects the dots between mind-body healing, emotional regulation, nervous system support, and natural approaches to mental health that actually work in real life.
