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 89 | If you’ve ever felt like your body is talking to you, but you’re not sure how to listen, this conversation offers a powerful reframe.
In this episode of Homes That Heal, Jen sits down with Dr. Wendy Henrichs for a deep, grounded conversation about chiropractic care, the nervous system, and how the body responds to physical, emotional, and environmental stress. This isn’t about chasing symptoms or quick fixes—it’s about understanding how the spine, nervous system, mindset, and lifestyle all work together to support healing.
Dr. Wendy shares why chiropractors aren’t just “back doctors,” how stress and stored emotion can show up as physical pain, and why creating safety for the nervous system is foundational for healing. Together, they explore the intersection of science and what some call “the woo”—from energy, breath, and visualization to nutrition, movement, and daily rhythms that help the body adapt and restore balance.
🕒 In this episode:
[08:06] – Why chiropractic is about the nervous system and whole body health
[16:15] – How stress, thoughts, and emotions impact physical health
[19:30] – The spine as the body’s communication highway

This episode is an invitation to stop fighting your body—and start working with it.
