Jenny Brav is a writer and a healer. She is known for her curiosity, intuition, depth, love of travel/languages, vegan and gluten free cooking, and love of nature in general (and trees/waterfalls in particular). As a cultural chameleon, one of her gifts is her ability to bridge worlds. She acts as a conduit between the seen and the unseen, the emotional and the physical, the subtle realms and the intellect. Writing is the place where those worlds coalesce for her.

Jenny was born and raised in Paris, France, to literary and intellectually curious American parents who instilled in her a love of words and an openness to others’ reality. Although her first love was for animals, her father’s sudden death when she was eight years-old fostered a life-long passion for helping others through their pain.

She spent fifteen years working on social justice issues in the United States and on humanitarian issues in impoverished and conflict-ridden areas of Asia and the Middle East. This included researching a system of bonded labor as a Fulbright Scholar, and coordinating emergency response for the United Nations. While the work was incredibly rewarding in many ways, stress levels were high, and she developed chronic asthmatic bronchitis. She started meditating and studying alternative healing modalities and nutrition so she could heal her body, and reach a state of balance. Throughout it all, writing was her way of coming back to herself.

Since 2010, she has been studying and practicing alternative healing modalities. Where she used to accompany human rights activists in dangerous areas to make it safe for them to do their life work, she now accompanies her clients into their deepest wounds and to the other side, so they can live their life to their fullest potential.

The Unbroken Horizon is the convergence of her experience doing humanitarian work; her journey of healing her childhood, ancestral, and past life wounds; her in-depth knowledge of individual, inter-generational and collective trauma; and her passion for history and research.
