Science, Spirituality, and Consciousness—Empowering Healing with Integrity and Wisdom.

Jen Snyder, PhD(c), RPSGT, is a pioneering educator, trauma-informed facilitator, and holistic healer dedicated to ethical, research-based education in consciousness studies and integrative wellness. As the Founder & Academic Director of AAA Learning Institute, she has developed a state-licensed facilitator training program that integrates clinical research, indigenous wisdom, and evidence-based healing methodologies.

Her expertise in trauma, grief, sleep health, and altered states of consciousness is deeply rooted in both professional and personal experience. Before leading in integrative education, Jen worked extensively in funeral services, forensic pathology, histology, and end-of-life care—including assisting in autopsies at the Las Vegas Coroner’s Office and volunteering for Nobody Dies Alone. In addition, she spent 13 years as a Registered Polysomnographic Technologist (RPSGT), specializing in sleep disorders, brainwave activity, and the physiological effects of altered states on restorative sleep and overall well-being. These roles gave her a unique perspective on mortality, trauma integration, and the interplay between sleep, consciousness, and healing—insights that now inform her cutting-edge curriculum and facilitator training.

As an Oregon-Licensed Facilitator and sleep health expert, Jen is committed to training the next generation of wellness practitioners with the ethical foundation, scientific knowledge, and cultural competency required to guide safe, transformative healing experiences.

🌿 About Jen Snyder

💡 “Facilitation is more than a profession—it is a calling. My goal is to ensure every student leaves AAA Learning Institute with the wisdom, integrity, and skills to create truly transformational healing experiences.”

My journey into this work is deeply personal and shaped by profound loss. After losing my law enforcement fiancé to suicide, I found myself facing the depths of PTSD and grief. This moment became a turning point, leading me to seek a healing path that went beyond traditional therapy. My journey took a significant step forward. I was honored to be offered a seat in Save A Warrior as a non-veteran or first responder. This experience involved being held by a community that understood trauma. It inspired me to dedicate the rest of my life to giving back. I am committed to holding space for others.

Professionally, my background is as diverse as it is dedicated to wellness. I have worked as a sleep technician for over 13 years. I have a deep understanding of how rest and recovery impact mental health. I am a former CrossFit gym owner. Now, I am an NPC bodybuilding competitor. I have learned the profound connection between physical resilience and emotional strength. These experiences have shaped my holistic approach, combining the mind, body, and spirit to create transformative healing experiences.

My practice integrates multiple modalities to address trauma, stress, and imbalance. The Wim Hof Method of breathwork is a cornerstone of my work. It is a daily practice that has become foundational in my own healing journey.

I also incorporate sound healing. I use crystal bowls and will soon include Himalayan metal bowls. These tools help clients release trauma and realign with their inner balance.

I founded the AAA Learning Institute. I am passionate about fostering an inclusive and transformative space for training facilitators. I also promote holistic healing. My courses combine ancient wisdom, modern science, and metaphysical studies. They equip facilitators with the tools and understanding to safely guide others on their healing journeys. I hold a Master’s Degree and am currently a PhD candidate in Metaphysical Science. I strive to bridge practical knowledge with spiritual insight. This creates a comprehensive pathway for growth and transformation.

I am passionate about working with veterans, first responders, trauma survivors, athletes, and individuals seeking personal growth and healing. Veterans and first responders, in particular, have been pivotal in my own healing journey. They were the only group that could hold space appropriately for me to begin healing. This has inspired me to dedicate my life to holding space for others in their journey of recovery and transformation.
