MISSION
Inward Ascent was created by Jennifer Munyer with the goal of providing a safe, brave, and spacious container for individuals to explore and transform the obstacles they experience on their path towards inner understanding. This is accomplished using many cultivated tools: telehealth counseling in both individual and group therapy formats, menstruality and menopause mentoring, educational workshops, and hosting multi day retreats. It is also important that Inward Ascent fosters constructive, concious peer development via supervision of both seasoned professionals and LMHC Registered Interns.

MENSTRUALITY & MENOPAUSE COACHING
Jennifer Munyer is certified as a menstruality and conscious menopause coach through the
Red School which is based in Malvern, UK. Individuals who menstruate face several unique challenges. Menstruation offers the experience and wisdom of cyclical living, which is decidedly NOT a revered way of living in many industrialized countries. This inherent discrepancy creates incredible tension between how our bodies want to live and how we are asked to live. Gaining insight and understanding into the power and guidance of menstruation, and the capacity it has to unlock deep self awareness and self care, strongly supports individuals in their holistic health care journey. Coming to understand and to trust one’s menstrual cycle (as regular, irregular, painless or painful as it can be) allows individuals to become well resourced as they experience significant life experiences and transitions.
Mentoring sessions are of particular service to those individuals experiencing infertility struggles, PCOS, PMDD, Matrescence, Perimopause, and Menopause. Mentoring sessions tend to feel much like a therapy session, as Jen tends to weave her menstruality wisdom with her psychotherapeutic skills.
