My StoryEvery QHHT session begins with you telling me your life story. Not the polished version, but the whole strange chain of experiences, choices, losses, and coincidences that brought you into the room. It’s an essential part of the process, but it can also be one of the most healing parts of the session. There is something deeply liberating about telling your whole story while someone truly listens.
In my work, I ask people to trust me with their stories. It only feels right that you know mine.
01 / 0R1GIN
Jennifer grew up in Jersey City, New Jersey, in a family where the boundaries of reality were never especially firm. When she was five years old, she and five members of her family witnessed the same UFO event. Because it happened in the physical and was corroborated by everyone present, extraterrestrial life never felt like an abstract possibility to her. It became part of the family’s shared history and a permanent crack in the conventional version of reality.
Other members of her family reported seeing spirits. Her grandmother practiced a form of witchcraft Jennifer associated with curses and hexes, giving her an early fascination with the unknown.
Hypnosis entered her life almost as quietly as the UFO encounter entered it dramatically. As a child, Jennifer found a book on self-hypnosis and began practicing the exercises on herself at night. Long before she knew the names of formal methods or imagined guiding anyone else, she was already experimenting with attention, suggestion, and the hidden abilities of the mind.
Movies were the other constant. As a child, Jennifer spent hours watching trailers on the pay-per-view channel. She didn’t play “make-believe.“ She would tell her mother she was going outside to “make movies.” She created scenarios for her best friend to act out, directed her through them, and played the all supporting characters herself.
“Jennifer is very bright, but she talks too much.”
That observation appeared repeatedly on Jennifer’s childhood report cards. She was placed in gifted programs and admitted to a selective academic high school, then rebelled against its rigid rules until she got herself expelled. Her teenage years were defined by extreme self-expression. She and her friends constantly changed their hair, clothes, music, and appearance. They sometimes called themselves “freaks,” they weren’t trying to fit into another subculture category. They wanted the freedom to be louder, stranger, and fully themselves.
In high school, a teacher who became a mentor and later a friend taught Jennifer how to use a camera and edit video and sound. A life in filmmaking was the future she had imagined since childhood.
02 / THE THRESHOLD
Jennifer was accepted to film school at seventeen, but her family could not qualify for the loan. Losing the future she had imagined, followed by a sexual assault, sent her into a period of self-destruction. At eighteen, she began working as a dominatrix in BDSM dungeons throughout Manhattan. She quickly made a name for herself and became popular within New York’s underground scene.
The work, surprisingly also brought her back to hypnosis. Through hypno-fetish training, she learned to perform inductions and use suggestion in practice. What began as private childhood experimentation was now something she could apply to another person, years before hypnosis became one of the central disciplines of her professional life.
It was also through this world that Jennifer met comedian Jim Norton, who was initially one of her clients. The two fell in love, and their relationship changed the trajectory of her life. Jim believed in her talent and helped her leave the industry. Jim paid for Jennifer to attend the New York Film Academy. On top of his support, she was awarded a Brett Ratner grant after writing about her life, which covered an additional portion of her tuition.
After graduating from the New York Film Academy, Jennifer worked on major New York productions including Warner Bros.’ Arthur, Paramount’s The Dictator, and David Chase’s Not Fade Away. She contributed creative and stage-design work to Jim Norton’s EPIX special American Degenerate and material to his special Please Be Offended.
After moving to Los Angeles, she served as first assistant director and associate producer on Chavez: Cage of Glory, starring Danny Trejo. She also trained and performed at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre and modeled for brands including American Apparel.
Jennifer had reached the film industry she had dreamed about since childhood, but it was still the pre-MeToo era. Unwilling to spend years climbing through an industry that treated women with open disrespect, she stepped away and made herself a promise: “I’m going to make it on my own. I’m not climbing my way up this hellscape of an industry. I’ll build my own thing.”
03 / BUILDING HER OWN PLATFORM
Before JK Ultra, There Was…
From 2014 to 2018, Jennifer created and hosted Carmody Central, an independent, free-form podcast about comedy, culture, sex, relationships, and the unknown. Across 106 episodes, the show earned more than 400,000 downloads from listeners in over 130 countries. It ranked among the top comedy podcasts on iTunes and reached the top 25 across all podcasts.
Guests included Amy Schumer, Colin Quinn, Jim Norton, comedians, writers, specialists, drag performers, and people whose lives did not fit neatly into a press release. The show was mentioned on The Joe Rogan Experience, crossed over to SiriusXM, and led to Jennifer guest-hosting a comedy advice program on the network.
She later became a core performer, writer, voice, and concept contributor to The Chip Chipperson Show, appearing as “Jenny Carm.”
She also wrote for BUST Magazine, including an investigation into the potential risks of bleached tampons, and developed independent projects about women’s bodies, intuition, and self-knowledge.
04 / THE INITIATION
Down the Rabbit Hole
Around 2012, while Jennifer was working at a Los Angeles cannabis collective, a Rastafarian customer began talking to her about the Mayan calendar, hidden systems, spiritual prophecy, and the possibility that the world was approaching a major shift. The conversation opened a rabbit hole that would occupy nearly a decade of her life.
She studied conspiracy theories, extraterrestrials, astrology, past lives, consciousness, prophecy, and the New Age belief that humanity was moving toward a higher timeline. During the 2020 lockdowns, her research into Nostradamus, the Antichrist, and competing prophecies about humanity’s future led her to QHHT, Dolores Cannon’s method of regression hypnosis and higher-self inquiry.
She began studying the technique and practicing with people she knew. The first person she guided entered what appeared to be a future life. Jennifer later found striking similarities between details from that session and future-life accounts recorded independently in other parts of the world.
Then, in December 2020, something strange happened. During an unplanned trip to Mount Shasta, Jennifer walked into a metaphysical shop called Soul Connections and found the same Rastafarian man standing inside. She had not seen him in nearly nine years and was now nine hours away from Hollywood, where they had first met.
The reunion happened around the December 21 Jupiter–Saturn Great Conjunction, which many spiritual communities were describing as the beginning of a “New Earth.” Jennifer took it as a sign to go deeper.
One month later in the beginning of 2021, she experienced the work from the other side and went under hypnosis herself for the first time with Jeroen De Witt. Years later, she did two sessions with Sarah Breskman Cosme in the exploratory tradition associated with Dolores Cannon’s books: entering altered states, following what arose, and asking questions about consciousness, extraterrestrials, artificial intelligence, and the nature of the universe.
Hypnosis was no longer simply a technique she practiced on other people. It became one of the primary ways she investigated reality, the subconscious, and her own inner life.
The deeper she went, the less her old life held together. Jobs, relationships, money, creative projects, and her former identity began falling away. What had started as research became an all-consuming attempt to understand what reality was asking of her.
Jennifer decided she was finally going to share what she had spent years learning. It did not immediately become the public career she imagined, but it marked the beginning of JK Ultra.
05 / TRANSFORMATION
Jennifer had not given up on filmmaking. She quit her job, poured her savings into developing television pilots, and took another serious leap toward the life she had wanted since childhood. But her writing partner was also her romantic partner. When that relationship ended in betrayal, both the life and the body of work they had built together collapsed. A trusted writing mentor also crossed a line, her savings were gone, and she came close to being evicted. She had risked everything and was left with almost nothing to show for it.
Then a couple of friends suggested, that they should do a 30 Day Challenge, posting on TikTok everyday and see what happens…
1n January 2022, with her film plans in ruins and almost nothing left, she committed to posting every day for thirty days. Her first video went viral.
A video about Ghislaine Maxwell reached one million views. Another about Brittany Murphy reached three million. A twenty-part investigation into JonBenét Ramsey followed. Jennifer approached internet mysteries with a filmmaker’s pacing, a comedic’s timing, and the obsessive attention of someone who had already spent a decade connecting unlikely dots. The platform was new. The skill set wasn’t.
Her series about Antichrist prophecies became a turning point. The subject drew enormous attention, but Jennifer became increasingly uncomfortable using fear simply because fear performed well. She redirected the series into Earth Shift, challenging the idea that prophecy was fixed and arguing that people did not have to surrender their agency to someone else’s prediction of the future.
As the series spread, viewers began asking Jennifer to guide them through QHHT sessions. She had only practiced with friends and family and refused to rush into selling the work. She continued studying, practicing, and experiencing hypnosis from both sides before opening one-on-one sessions to the public in 2024.
That choice established the deeper purpose of JK Ultra. Jennifer would not simply investigate what might be hidden. She would examine what believing in it does to people.
In 2022, Jennifer also attended Harvey Weinstein’s Los Angeles criminal trial and reported directly from the courtroom. Her independent coverage was profiled by the Los Angeles Times, which described her as a regular presence taking notes alongside the conventional press. She gave an audience often distrustful of traditional media access to the testimony, evidence, and uncertainty without telling them what conclusion to borrow.
Jennifer’s TikTok following grew beyond 650,000, with her videos accumulating more than one billion views. Across platforms, her audience surpassed 800,000. The filmmaking career she had pursued through traditional channels had finally arrived in a form shecould have predicted.
Thirty-Days That Changed Everything
From Internet Creator to Public Voice
Jennifer’s work soon moved beyond short-form video. In 2023, she delivered her first conference talk at the Parapod Festival, speaking about the Mandela Effect. That November, she appeared at Disclosure Fest’s Stairway to the Stars at the Luxor in Las Vegas and received an award in a program that also honored figures including Dolores Cannon, Leo King, Bashar, and Elizabeth April.
She became a regular presence at Conscious Life Expo and Contact in the Desert. She spoke and participated in events through the Philosophical Research Society and with Nadine Artemis, founder of Living Libations, and traveled through major consciousness and plant-medicine spaces including Rythmia and Soltara. Her work with the Monroe Institute and the Silva Method expanded her understanding of altered states, focused awareness, visualization, and the mind’s capacity to rehearse new ways of being.
Her UFO work brought her into conversation with some of the field’s most recognizable voices. She shared her family’s 1993 UFO experience with investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe and later released their in-depth interview. She appeared on Whitley Strieber’s Dreamland through Unknown Country, interviewed Dr. Steven Greer, and conducted conversations with researchers including Richard Dolan.
Jennifer was also featured by Jessica Reed Kraus of House Inhabit in conversations about MK-Ultra, conspiracy culture, self-reflection, and the ways external rabbit holes can become an escape from internal work.
She filmed for Discovery and Max’s Alien Encounters: Fact or Fiction, bringing the family encounter that shaped her childhood into a mainstream television investigation.
In December 2024, Jennifer spoke aboard Portal to Ascension’s Galactic Origins Cruise. She boarded as JK Ultra, surrounded by speakers exploring extraterrestrial contact and cosmic consciousness, and met the man who would become her husband.
06 / THE ASCENT
07 / THE RETURN
Ken Not Included and the Story She Had to Reclaim
Jennifer began writing Ken Not Included: A Survival Guide for the Plastic Age around 2014. Part memoir, part satire, and part cultural criticism, the book moves through women’s history, advertising, sex, relationships, hormones, body image, and self-help. It refuses a single genre because Jennifer has never experienced the personal, political, painful, ridiculous, and useful as separate subjects.
After more than a decade of writing, she received a traditional publishing deal. Six months before the planned release, she withdrew. The publisher seemed more interested in the audience attached to her name than in understanding the unconventional manuscript. Publishing a book about women authoring their own lives in someone else’s preferred voice had become a contradiction she could no longer ignore.
Jennifer hired her own editor and self-published the book in 2025. The process forced one final confrontation with the stories inside it. She did not always look innocent. Sometimes she ignored the signs, stayed too long, accepted a bad arrangement, or used someone who was also using her. Rewriting herself as the pure victim would have made the book easier to sell and less true.
Near the end, a chapter titled “Assembly of Self Required” reveals the deeper project. Jennifer had believed she was writing a survival guide for modern women. In reality, she had spent more than a decade retrieving every version of herself she had judged, rejected, or felt ashamed of.
She published the book from Bali one month before her wedding. After years of imagining bestseller lists, bookstore placement, and industry validation, she discovered that its real success was more intimate. The book broke a spell around love, men, shame, and the belief that only the innocent versions of her deserved to be reclaimed.
“I thought I had to write this book as a guide for all women. In the end, I realized I had written it for myself. It allowed me to close not just a chapter of my life, but the entire book, and finally move on.”
08 / THE ELIXIR
In the Hero’s Journey, the traveler eventually returns carrying something that can serve others. Jennifer’s elixir is not a single answer, teaching, or method. It is the ability to enter the strange and uncertain places with someone, recognize the deeper pattern, and help them return with a new understanding of themselves.
Hypnosis is not an accessory to Jennifer’s work. It is one of its oldest and most consistent threads: from the self-hypnosis book she discovered as a child, to learning a unique style of inductions during her time in the Manhattan underground world, beginning her QHHT practice in 2020, experiencing regression herself in 2021, and opening her sessions to the public after that.
She has also used hypnosis to investigate the UFO experience that shaped her childhood. Jennifer underwent regression sessions with Yvonne Smith, a certified hypnotherapist and UFO-abduction researcher who worked alongside Budd Hopkins, David Jacobs, and John Mack. These sessions allowed Jennifer to explore her own abduction experience through a lineage distinct from the Dolores Cannon-style work she experienced with Sarah Breskman Cosme and Jeroen De Witt.
Jennifer’s private QHHT sessions are intentionally unhurried and typically last between four and eight hours. Time is given to the client’s life story, the hypnotic journey, and the integration afterward. She does not approach these sessions as pure curiosity, quick readings or spiritual shortcuts. She considers it an honor to sit with each person’s higher self and follows the work until the patterns, questions, or experiences asking to be seen can emerge.
Her approach has continued to evolve. Jennifer studied Marisa Peer’s Rapid Transformational Therapy to deepen her understanding of subconscious programming, reframing, and habit change. Her work with the Monroe Institute and the Silva Method added tools involving altered states, visualization, focused awareness, and self-directed change.
Today, she draws from QHHT, RTT, Monroe, Silva, Parts Work, Shadow Work, and years of spiritual development. The goal is not simply to uncover an extraordinary story. It is to reach the core issue, revise inherited narratives, interrupt habits, and help people create a different relationship with their life and purpose.
This work extends beyond private sessions. Through her Substack membership, Jennifer leads a live group hypnosis experience each month, blending subconscious work, guided inner exploration, intuitive insight, and spiritual practice. The sessions help members release emotional and energetic blocks, explore karmic patterns, and turn insight into changes they can actually live.
Her 2025 ten-month program, Soul Architecture, moved through multiple layers of the self, helping members embody the highest expression of what their souls came into this lifetime to become.
Her current twelve-month series, Now Is Enough, turns toward a deceptively difficult practice: remaining here. Each month examines another way people abandon the present by escaping into the past, bargaining with the future, compulsively seeking answers, or treating themselves as permanent improvement projects.
Jennifer also offers private one-on-one coaching for people navigating personal transitions, spiritual questions, creative projects, relationships, or the feeling that something in their lives needs to change. Her approach combines intuition, pattern recognition, practical strategy, and the kind of honest guidance that gets beneath the story someone has been telling themselves.
Ongoing guidance is also available through her Substack membership. In addition to monthly group hypnosis, Jennifer hosts live coaching calls where members can bring personal, professional, creative, or spiritual situations to the community. Several members receive direct coaching, but the insight rarely belongs to only one person. Someone else’s question often opens the exact door you needed.
