Welcome! This is the “sister” site to my functional nutrition and herbalism site, Whole-istic Living.
JennaVolpe.com started out as a spiritual healing “passion project”, featuring articles and resources related to all things occult teachings (smudging, crystals, chakras, etc.) and offering energy healing services such as Reiki, aura healing, and many other modalities.
But my life experiences have since led me back to my Christian roots, and I’m grateful to have found my way home.
Join me on this journey of un-learning and re-learning “all the things” in the world of spirituality, as I continue to let myself be led by the Holy Spirit. (Please be patient with me, as I’m still in the early stages of revising and updating old content.) 😉

Decoding the Mental, Emotional, & Spiritual Meanings of Allergies
On my own healing journey (inspired by my clinical encounters with others), I’ve spent 10+ years exploring the spiritual meaning of allergies through various means. For context, shortly after developing pretty sudden-onset irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in my early 20s, I also started developing allergies to a wide variety of foods and was diagnosed with
Spiritual Meanings of Gas and Bloating
As a holistic gut health dietitian and former energy healing practitioner who has been in remission from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) since 2014, one of the many questions I was forced to unpack at a certain point on my healing journey was: What is the spiritual meaning of gas and bloating? And if you’re reading
How the Bible (and the Holy Spirit) Changed My Mind About Crystals
In the past few decades as the New Age movement has continued to grow exponentially, the popularity and uses of crystals have since expanded past amulets and religion/spirituality, evolving into an entire branch of complementary alternative medicine (1). For over a decade, I identified as a crystal healing practitioner – until the summer of 2025,
Read This Before Considering Reiki for IBS
Given my history as a former Reiki practitioner and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) sufferer (and my career now as a functional dietitian who specializes in gut health), this article is near and dear to my heart. While I previously endorsed Reiki as a complementary alternative medicine intervention for indirectly supporting IBS relief (due to its
