Welcome to the Ancestral Souls Wisdom School.
Choose Your Starting Point
Education
Explore small group coaching and webinar programs on the topics of writing, family patterns, war trauma, genealogy, World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and even inter-war military research. Learn how to research a veteran with the 2-part strategy I developed 15 years ago. I also offer small group coaching sessions targeted to help you move your military branch research forward.Â
Writing & Publishing Services
Preserve and honor the remarkable stories of yourself, your ancestors, veterans, and the legacies they've left behind. We understand the importance of capturing and sharing these unique narratives that span generations. Our mission is to guide you through the process of unearthing and documenting your family's rich history, while also providing a supportive environment to explore and heal from generational and war trauma.
Military Research & Genealogy Services
Are you ready to research a veteran? To learn their story? Learn more about who your ancestors were, who your parents are, and who you are on a deeper level? I offer coaching sessions to help you do the research yourself. I take research and book writing and publishing clients. I also now offer small group coaching as of 2026.
Military & Genealogy Research Books, Journals & Notebooks
Explore all my WWI/WWII research and writing books. I help you find the story even if all the records burned. Discover genealogy curriculum books, Ancestral Journals, and Composition Notebooks.
60-Minute Coaching Session
Webinars are great if you are seeking general military research knowledge, but they rarely provide the personalized answers you need for your unique military research and writing journey. Every family story, every archive search, and every project comes with its own set of challenges—and webinars simply can’t address all the roadblocks you’ll encounter along the way. That’s why so many people leave these sessions inspired, but still stuck. Coaching changes that.
Speaking Engagements
Is your organization, library or society seeking vibrant speakers? I have new classes on WWI and WWII research and writing, family patterns and genealogy records, and ancestral healing. Check out where I'm speaking this year or book me to speak!

What People Are Saying

Monique - WWII Small Group Coaching
Jennifer's courses and Zoom chats have removed so much mystery from the process of researching a military veteran. I appreciate the straightforward approach that avoids going down endless trails of research that does not yield any results. She has designed a method to work through the labyrinth of military records which makes it possible for any level of researcher to understand.
I am an experienced researcher and Jennifer opened research doors for me I was unaware of. If you're serious about your research invest the time with Jennifer, her knowledge is the kind only gained from decades of experience in this field.
Anne A. - Genetic Memories Program
When I saw the invitation for Jennifer’s recent 4-part program “Genetic Memories: How Ancestors’ Experiences Shape Our Lives” … I knew I had to join in the conversation! In certain places or situations, I’ve always felt a familiarity that couldn’t be explained. After jumping in to DNA research over a decade ago … that seemed like the only possible explanation for the feelings I encountered: DNA memory! Some people thought I was crazy …
In the last seven years, I have opened myself to be guided. I can’t explain how or who is guiding me, but I know that random encounters with unknown folks have set me on different journeys and at the end, I find answers that I have been seeking for years! You can’t make this stuff up! In hindsight, which is 20-20, I see that I was being guided all along, but didn’t understand at the time. In putting all the pieces together today, it makes perfect sense!
Jennifer’s program and her experiences validated what I have thought to be true for years … DNA memory IS real! But, I also learned that some of the troubling patterns of the past keep recurring because the ancestors need help in healing, and that it’s possible for us to help.
I’ve always wanted to write about my experiences, but didn’t really know where to start. This program gave me ideas on how to gather and organize my thoughts. I’m using the Ancestral Codes 90-day Journal for some help getting started. It has 3 pages for each day with prompts that I would never have thought of. Thank you Jennifer!
Doug Hall -Freelance writer, Boston, Ma.
As a writer and researcher of a family biography, I have used Ms. Holik’s expertise in military research, editing, organization and drafting skills now for several years. Jennifer has the ability to take a body of work, in any stage of development, and evaluate the contents and direct an action plan that moves the project forward in a superior way, on all fronts. I have depended on her professional insight into my family biography that is both complicated with multiple time periods and source material also requiring the insight to understand how to engage the reader. The finished product will in no small way reflect her dedication and professional research, guidance, suggestions, edits and actions. I can, without reservation, recommend her military and publication research services for any personal or commercial publication project.
