I love what I do.
I'm the creator of The River + Rise Method™. My background in pediatric emergency and surgical nursing gave me a deep understanding of the human body. It also taught me that healing isn't just about what's happening in the body— it's about the stories we carry, the patterns we live, the nervous system that holds it all, and the life we're creating.
Experience the River + Rise Method in a group setting. All are welcome.
"I've had two restorative sessions with Jackie! There aren't any words to truly describe how wonderful the experience itself was, along with the days following. The gentle, subtle, but potent shift in my internal and external world feels tangible and exciting. Like an exhale I didn't realize I was holding until I walked through her doors! After our session I did some intuitive painting on her gorgeous studio balcony. Every moment being there was such a gift.
And being in Jackie's presence alone is healing. She'll see you in a way you've been needing and deserving of. It'll feel like reconnecting with a friend. The woman is talented beyond measure and her work is unlike anything I've experienced, yet so necessary. If you've felt called to reach out to her, to show yourself some love, to address whatever it is that's been in your mind, don't hold back a minute longer!"

"Jaclyn Shea is a true master of her craft. 11/10 recommend.
She has worked with every member of my family, kids included, and the impact has been undeniable.
Her clinically trained nursing mind, combined with her powerful integration of energy healing and full spectrum life realignment, is unmatched. She bridges science and the unseen in a way that feels grounded and delivers wildly effective results.
Jaclyn restored my confidence and helped me step into an entirely new reality. I am a healthier, more creative mom, wife, writer, and business owner because of our work together.
I cannot wait for my session with her next week at River + Rise.
Get on her calendar. STAT!!!"

"Jaclyn is such an incredibly gifted person - I cannot describe how healing, loving, and insightful her sessions are - both during and the follow up care.
I highly recommend booking with her!
Even if you don’t understand exactly what it is or what you even need, she will meet you where you are at and will figure out the rest!
Thank you so so much Jaclyn!!💕"

"I’ve worked with Jaclyn over the past three months, and truly feel like I’ve walked a bridge with her—one that led me closer to myself.
I like to think of myself as a bit of a wordsmith, but her work leaves me speechless in the best possible way. What she offers is unlike anything I’ve experienced before—a powerful blend of energy work, intuitive insight, therapeutic depth, and genuine heart.
Jaclyn didn’t just validate what I once considered my “lofty dreams”—she helped ground them. She gave me real direction, clear next steps, and a sense that these visions are not only possible, but already in motion. Through our work together, I’ve gained clarity, confidence, and a renewed belief in myself—along with a deeper sense of self-love.
Working with her has been transformative in a way that feels both expansive and deeply grounding. I’m incredibly grateful for her guidance and presence—and I couldn’t recommend her more."

"Jaclyn is a wonderful part of my healing journey. I have had several challenging years managing two aging parents, teenage children, and a demanding job. I felt I needed a shift in my energy from being overwhelmed all the time to managing each of these important tasks with patience and grace.
I was introduced to Jaclyn by a friend and she's been a blessing. Her sessions are a mix between therapy and meditation and I feel such peace immediately following. In the days that follow, I notice subtle but powerful changes in myself and my response to life.
She has been a gift helping me navigate the 'sandwich generation'."

"Working with Jaclyn with River + Rise has been nothing shy of life changing.
Through the work we continue to do together, I have made the some beautiful shifts in my life in every way.
After being sick a long time and experiencing a dark and difficult season around it, she has been instrumental in helping me find my way out and back to myself.
I am so grateful for the love, time, and energy she puts into her work."

"I have been working with Jaclyn now for over a year. She has such a beautiful energy that makes me feel safe and held and any time I do any activations with her I feel like I've come back from a spa day.
She's helped me improve my mindset, my direction and opened me up to so much more.
I wish I lived in the United States, or I'd be in her studio weekly if not daily."
