My Story

Hi – I am Jennifer Zona, Certified Jungian Life Coach, Spiritual Director, Shamanic Practitioner, Shamanic Reiki Master, and Grief Counselor. I created La Loba Soul Support to serve as a companion for individuals as they work through the challenges in life’s crossroads and guide them to engage in their capacity to empower and transform themselves.

I guide people through emotional deaths.

Not the gentle spiritual awakening kind. The devastating kind—where your marriage ends, your children leave home, a diagnosis shatters everything, someone who defined you dies, or your identity collapses and you don’t recognize yourself anymore.

I specialize in threshold work because I know this territory intimately.

MY PATH TO THIS WORK

For five years, I’ve served as an End-of-Life Doula, sitting with people as they navigate their final passage. I’ve learned that death—whether physical or emotional—requires the same things: presence, courage, and someone who isn’t afraid of the dark.

Physical death taught me everything I needed to know about emotional death. Both are thresholds. Both involve letting go of who you were. Both require trust in what you cannot yet see.

The dying have been my greatest teachers.

This is a story of resurrection and the coming home to yourself.
The personal journey of transformation.

TheTHE WORK OF LA LOBA

La Loba ~ the Wolf Woman ~ collects bones of what has been lost and sings them back to life. She gathers the scattered remains, assembles the skeleton piece by piece, and sings until the creature becomes furred, breathes, and runs free again.

This is the work I do.

GATHERING YOUR BONES

When your life falls apart—divorce, loss, identity collapse—pieces of you scatter. The strong, clear person you once were feels gone. You’ve lost parts of yourself you desperately need: your sense of purpose, your power to create and protect, your trust in your own knowing.

These are your bones. And my work is to help you gather them.
Like La Loba, I go back and collect the different parts of you that got left behind—the wounds that need witnessing, the rage that was suppressed, the grief that went underground, the strength you forgot you had. We don’t avoid the painful bones. We need them all.

I learned this work through my own scattering. In the striving to be who the world wanted me to be—in career, in roles, in meeting expectations—I lost pieces of myself along the way. Parts that knew who I was, what mattered, what I was here to do.
My journey of transformation meant going back for those bones. Learning that what I thought was in the way WAS the way. Discovering that wholeness isn’t perfection—it’s integration. Shadow and light. Wound and wisdom. Death and rebirth.

The goal isn’t to be perfect. The goal is to be whole.
For five years as an End-of-Life Doula, I’ve sat with people as they died. I learned that death—physical or emotional—is a sacred passage. Both require letting go of who you were. Both require gathering what matters most. Both require trust in what cannot yet be seen.

Now I guide others through their emotional deaths. I help you gather the scattered bones of who you are—not who you think you should be, but who you actually are beneath the roles and expectations and wounds.

We collect them piece by piece:
The part of you that knew your worth before the world told you otherwise
The rage you weren’t allowed to feel
The grief you had to keep moving through
The power you gave away to keep peace
The voice that got silenced
The wildness that got domesticated

And when we’ve gathered enough bones—when the skeleton of your true self is assembled—I help you sing yourself back to life.
Not as who you were before. That version is gone. But as who you’re becoming—more whole, more real, more alive than you’ve ever been.

This is threshold work. This is the work of La Loba.
Every time I help someone rise with new eyes, I see more clearly where the lost bones are hidden. What song shall we sing over yours?

HOW I WORK

I combine Jungian depth psychology with energy healing and spiritual wisdom to create a container for transformation.

Our sessions are person-centered and intuitive. We might:

  • Work with your dreams and what they’re revealing
  • Explore body sensations and somatic wisdom
  • Journey into shadow work and what’s being unearthed
  • Process grief, rage, and the wisdom in your pain
  • Use shamanic practices and energy work for healing
  • Integrate the death of who you were with the birth of who you’re becoming

This isn’t traditional therapy. It’s soul work for people who need more than coping strategies—you need transformation.

WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THRESHOLD

I know the terror of not recognizing yourself anymore.

I know the grief of who you used to be.

I know the vertigo of not knowing what’s next.

I know the shame of feeling like you should have it together by now.

And I know something else: Every ending contains the seeds of your greatest becoming.

You’re not broken. You’re in metamorphosis.

The devastation you’re experiencing isn’t the end of your story—it’s the threshold to a depth and authenticity you’ve never known.

“Just let go. Let go of how you thought your life should be, and embrace the life that is trying to work
its way into your consciousness…”
