About Jennifer Holik

Intuitive healer specializing in inherited & war trauma, and personal & ancestral healing.

Watch a short video about Jennifer’s work and mission.

I’m an Intuitive healer specializing in inherited & war trauma, and personal & ancestral healing. I’ve been on a conscious personal healing journey for a more than a decade. My journey began while researching & writing about my family & military history. My military ancestors helped me dive deeper into my personal & ancestral trauma to heal.

Discovering the history of our families allows for family patterns, inherited trauma, & secrets to rise. This provides an opportunity to take a deeper look at our research to allow for healing & closure.

By 2015 my healing journey & military work allowed me to travel in Europe & create a life both there & in Chicago. I became embedded in Dutch society, life, relationships, healthcare, politics, culture, got a deep dive into grief when I became a caregiver to someone I was in a relationship with & more, which gave me a unique perspective on our world & the layers of trauma we each carry, no matter where we live.

I visited battlefields & burial sites, religious & cultural sites, heard family & war stories, some of which brought me to my knees in grief as I channeled the people telling the stories. I understand context that many people do not. This makes me unique in the way I can help clients heal on both sides of the ocean to explore their personal & ancestral family patterns & war trauma. I have studied & understand genealogy & military records, & what information, secrets, patterns, inherited trauma, feelings, & emotions they may share.

Each experience I had in Europe gave me awareness & puzzle pieces for my healing & the healing of our ancestors & the collective. Puzzle pieces & awareness I can now share with you.

For more than a decade I have studied ancestral lineage healing, energy healing modalities, inherited trauma, PTSD, grief & loss, caregiving, & spiritual modalities. I have also taken a deep dive into my personal and ancestral healing.

I look forward to working with you to heal yourself and your ancestors. We are all connected no matter where we live, what our culture is, what our trauma has been….when one heals, we all heal.

I Bring Dead Guys Home: A Memoir 19-Mar-2022

by Jennifer Holik

( 2 )

£6.06 £13.62

I never envisioned in my wildest imagination, a life like the one I have. Who creates a life like this on two continents? Who transforms their reality, business, and life, multiple times in only a few years? Who sticks around when the unimaginable happens right after you meet someone? Jennifer Holik chose a new path in June 2012 when she moved out with her boys and filed for divorce. She did not expect that six months later, when she acknowledged her spiritual gifts, her entire life would transform. Several dead guys, primarily World War I and World War II service members, had already shown up in Jennifer’s world. Many others entered her life at the exact moment they were required. Listening to their whispers, Jennifer followed the energy and created a life and business no one she knew had dared to create. Travel through time and space, across the ocean, and through Europe, where love knows no boundaries. On this journey, Jennifer explores the choices she made and lessons she learned, to create a life she never dreamed possible. Discover how the dead guys she brought home guided her life, helped her grow and change, brought healing to their own families, and introduced her to her Knight in Shining Armor. Not all fairy tales have a happy ending. Or do they? A month after they met, the Knight and his Lady experienced a life altering event they never expected, that changed everything. This is a story written in two parts, a journey through time and space with her soldiers and a caregiver story, woven together in love. This book has two primary themes: choice and creating your life. Within those themes I tell two primary stories. One of my initial choice to end my marriage and create my business and life in a different way. This led to my traveling in the footsteps of a WWII family member who died in service in Europe. That led to meeting the man who would be my husband.The second story is about the choice I made when I met this man and the health issues that followed. I discuss the good, bad, and ugly about my caregiving journey in this part, along with the choices I made to create my life even amidst difficult times.Readers will receive what calls to their heart and soul as they read the book. I have discovered that many readers receive more from one part of the book, rather than the whole. Jennifer's story is one of transformation, strength, choice, a deep desire to heal my soul no matter what it takes, self-love, awareness, and a continuous exploration of the past to create a better present and future.

Finding the Answers: Researching Women in World War II 11-Jan-2018

by Jennifer Holik

£5.17 £7.67

Finding the Answers. Are you seeking answers to questions about your family’s female World War II service member or civilian worker?

Women played crucial roles during World War II after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Men felt an obligation to join the military and rushed to enlist. Enlistment and later the draft, required men to vacate jobs on the home front. As a result, women were recruited and trained to take over jobs left by men. The military also began programs for women to volunteer to aid the war effort, or in some cases, join the military as enlisted personnel and officers.

This quick guide introduces you to:

• A brief history of the shift of roles women played at home and in service.
• Histories of the components of each military branch in which women served.
o Army: Women’s Army Corps (WACs), Army Nurses, Army Air Forces – Women Air Force Service Pilots (WASPs) and Women’s Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron (WAFS).
o Navy WAVES - Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service, Navy Nurses.
o Coast Guard SPARS
o Marine Corps Women’s Reserve (MCWR)
• Histories of the civilian organizations in which women served
o Red Cross
o USO
• Tips for locating information to begin a search for records with checklists.

Finding the Answers: Starting World War II Research 10-Jan-2018

by Jennifer Holik

( 4 )

£3.69 £6.90

World War II research is surrounded by stories and myths which often give people the perception they cannot obtain any information about military service.
• Have you heard, ‘All the records burned!’
• Have you read on a website that you must be the next-of-kin to receive information?
• Do you think sending in one form to request records gives you everything available?
• Do you know there are additional records at NPRC, that staff will not search for you, that are required for Army and Army Air Forces research?
• Do you think starting your search in unit records will provide all the answers?

Did you know there are many records available you can obtain by visiting the archives or hiring a research firm like mine? Records the archives will not search for you to reconstruct service history?

If records exist, what is the problem? Why haven’t researchers and family members been able to reconstruct service history easily on their own? The problem is, any books or guides produced by military museums, archives, libraries, and other groups, talk only about the fire, what you cannot get, and a few major record sources. Usually these materials stress searching unit level records, which is not the place to start research. None of these guides explains through a process, how to use other resources and records to reconstruct service history for all branches.

In this guide you will learn everything you need to know to start your World War II research, even if the records burned. Armed with the information you discover, you can find the answers to your military research questions.
