The Trauma Therapist

“Jai” Jennifer Greenwald is a yogi, educator, filmmaker, and founder of Quundalini™, a healing modality that brings together ancient wisdom and modern science. A longtime Kundalini yoga instructor, Jai developed Quantum Healing Yoga, an approach incorporating breathwork, movement, mantra, conscious awareness, and trauma-informed practices.

Jai is also the writer and producer of Quundalini: Quantum Healing Yoga – The Bridge from Victim to Victory, a documentary exploring her response to the revelations surrounding Yogi Bhajan and her search for a more ethical, trauma-informed approach to yoga. The film follows her exploration of sacred feminine wisdom, neuroscience, embodied practice, and personal and collective healing.

Dr. Shan Shan Jing is a Consultant Plastic and Hand Surgeon working in a Major Trauma Centre in London, where she has spent years treating patients with devastating injuries, restoring nerves, vessels, and soft tissues after life-altering trauma. 

In 2022, while working abroad during the pandemic, she experienced trauma from the other side when she survived a high-speed collision that killed her partner and left her hospitalized with multiple injuries. Her recovery involved navigating profound grief, neurological healing, and the identity shift of becoming a trauma patient within the very healthcare system she had dedicated her career to serving.

This experience transformed her understanding of post-traumatic growth, the nervous system’s response to catastrophic loss, and the hidden burdens carried by healthcare professionals, deepening her belief in what she calls the “Holy Trinity” of health: the physical, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of healing.
