About Jenna

Reiki came into my life at a moment when I didn’t just need healing, I needed hope. I needed a way back to myself.

I spent years feeling overwhelmed and disconnected, carrying emotional and physical tension that never seemed to release no matter what I tried. My nervous system lived in survival mode. I couldn’t fully relax, and I felt stuck in my mind, my body, and my life. I kept trying to heal by pushing through, facing trauma head-on, forcing myself to “figure it out,” trying every method I thought should work, but it only left me hitting the same walls over and over again.

The first time I received Reiki, something softened in a way nothing else had. It was subtle, but unmistakable, and for the first time in a long time, I felt hope. Hope that I could heal, that my life didn’t have to stay the way it was, and that maybe there was a way back to myself that didn’t require fighting my way there.

With every session, I felt myself growing lighter, clearer, and more at ease in my own body. My day-to-day felt easier. I felt happier. My life began to shift in ways I didn’t know were possible.

Reiki calmed my anxiety and released the tightness I’d been carrying in my body for years. It softened the emotional weight I thought I had to hold alone. It gave me clarity during a time when everything felt overwhelming. It brought me back into my body after feeling disconnected for so long — and for the first time in years, I felt safe with myself again.

Over time, Reiki became the turning point.
It supported my physical healing.
It helped regulate my nervous system.
It reconnected me to my intuition and my creativity.
It showed me I didn’t have to keep living in survival mode.

Reiki didn’t just help me, it changed the direction of my life. It showed me that healing doesn’t have to be forced; it can be a gentle return. It reminded me that the light I wanted to give others had always been inside me, too.

I’ve always been intuitive. I’ve always felt called to help, to guide, to be a grounding presence for others. Reiki gave me a path to do that in a way that feels real, embodied, and aligned.

And now, through Noema, I hold space for others the way I once needed someone to hold it for me, with presence, safety, compassion, and the belief that healing is absolutely possible, no matter where you’re beginning.

We are Noema

Noema was born from that transformation.

Founded by Jenna Cortese, a certified Reiki practitioner (Usui & Holy Fire) and intuitive energy healer, Noema blends Reiki with intuitive guidance to create a deeply personal, restorative experience. Whether you’re seeking emotional balance, physical relief, stress reduction, or spiritual renewal, each session meets you exactly where you are, with presence and care.

At Noema, healing is approached as both art and alignment, where intuition, energy, and embodied presence converge to restore harmony. Sessions support transformation on the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels, helping you realign with the light that’s always been within you.

Jenna holds a calm, compassionate space that nurtures the body’s natural ability to heal itself. She helps regulate the nervous system, reduce stress, and release blockages that can manifest as tension, fatigue, or emotional overwhelm, gently bringing the body and energy field back into balance.

Each session becomes a moment of realignment and renewal, guiding you back to a state of peace, clarity, and flow. Through intuitive insight and empowerment, Jenna helps you reconnect with your deepest truth, leaving you centered, grounded, and re-illuminated from within.

My intention is simple:
To offer healing that is gentle, warm, and deeply supportive:
a space where you can release what hurts, return to your center, and remember your own inner light.

You deserve to feel safe.
You deserve to feel held.
You deserve to feel whole.
And I’m here to help you get there.

Located in North Hollywood, Noema offers in-studio, in-home, and remote sessions in a serene, heart-centered space designed to restore connection, clarity, and self-awareness.
