About
Jenna Bowers, known as The Way Witch, has been intrigued by magical healing and creation since childhood. With over 30 years of personal practice, she brings deep experience in spellcraft, tarot and card reading, space cleansing, ritual, ceremony, and intuitive work. Her practice is rooted in curiosity, reverence, and a lifelong commitment to learning how unseen forces shape our lives—and how we can consciously work with them.
Jenna works with modern interpretations of universal principles, holding the belief that while there is much we cannot see or fully understand, it is open to discovery. She sees magic not as something separate from everyday life, but as a way of engaging more intentionally with it. Her work is grounded, ethical, and empowering—focused not on prediction, but on awareness, agency, and meaningful transformation.
Throughout her years of practice, Jenna has witnessed that there are moments in every person’s journey when they are called toward profound change. She believes that when more people answer that call, the world itself shifts. Her role is not to lead the way for others, but to walk beside them—offering insight, clarity, and support as they choose their own path forward.
Creativity is at the heart of Jenna’s work. She thrives on collaboration and welcomes challenges, approaching each session as an opportunity to co-create something unique and deeply personal. No two readings or rituals are the same; each is shaped by the individual, their needs, and the moment they are in.
Jenna’s work has been widely recognized in the Portland community. She has been honored multiple times by Willamette Week’s Best of Portland awards as Best Witch, a reflection of her integrity, skill, and lasting impact on those she serves.
The Way Witch is not about shortcuts or spectacle—it is about presence, intention, and transformation. Jenna is ready to assist those who feel the call to look deeper, realign, and step more fully into their own becoming.

Testimonials
"When intuition is paired with deep wisdom and honored tools, transformation becomes magic." - Kristin
"Jenna helps reignite the light within me when I am stagnant in the darkness. She also has the ability to help stoke my fire when I am finally feeling ready to take control over my life. She is so incredibly intuitive to exactly what I need to hear, whether I am conscious of it at the time or not. I get answers to so many of my questions during my sessions, but answers also frequently come to me days and even weeks after our work together. I have been going through a huge transformation this year (and such a good one at that), and the beginning of this journey can be pinpointed to my first session with Jenna. She's kind, comfortable, and just simply gets it. She truly creates magic, and gives each of her "clients" (doesn't seem like the right word because it is a much more intimate connection than simply a provider and her client) a dose of magic to take home with them after every single session to continue working with, themselves. I could not recommend someone more. For whatever your needs, whatever you're working with, if you're called to work with The Way Witch- follow your intuition. You will not be disappointed." - Eliana

"As we struggle through this human experience, sometimes we are not looking for answers or solutions, we are merely looking for guidance. Gifted with a unique perspective, Jenna has cultivated an ability to assist on a beyond-physical level using her insight, or any one of her many magical tools. Whether hoping to release some caught-up energy or just feeling lost, Jenna has a truly distinctive skill set to help out." - Matthew
"Jenna has a special gift. She offered me an important and insightful experience. She has a gentle yet powerful presence that I've always known her to use for good. I could go on and on about how much I respect and appreciate what she offers but you should find out for yourself. ;)" - Jenn
"This whole process has been so gentle and filled with love, Jenna - thank you for your guidance and talent on this journey.I have never felt so entirely whole, so integrated and One. I have embraced a level of self-acceptance that I never knew before. What I formerly saw as faults or weaknesses now feel like mere colors in a very rich landscape. No good, no bad, just colors. In context, as part of the whole, they are beautiful in and of themselves. They are perfect. I walk in beauty, surrounded by magic, safe, powerful, blessed beyond measure.
I love myself. A lot. This is my gift. More magic awaits, no doubt. Peace, sweet friend, and all love to you. Yes, there was a reason for our meeting. No less meaningful a meeting than to be called to become whole through the healing of my heart." - Kavika
"I was experiencing intense anxiety, angst and unidentifiable emotions before a big event and Jenna came to my rescue. She quickly and efficiently helped me work through the situation with her witchiness. My symptoms were physical- I was shaking and crying- and it suddenly shifted to pure joy; I felt high. I made it through the event and we continued our work afterwards. She helped me connect with a dear friend who had passed away and was trying to communicate with me. She performed death rites for him and helped him to pass, and I received a message from him that I carry with me all the time. It was amazing." - Laurie
"Since my session with you I’ve been feeling great. More energy, stamina, and good vibes." - Kenny
"My session with Jenna was very comfortable. I had no idea what to expect and so was a little nervous going in, just because I like to know what I’m getting into. Jenna’s presence was very relaxing. We talked a little about what I had contacted her for and what I expected from our session. The session itself was intense, but in a totally good way. I could feel my energy flowing throughout my body and reenergizing me. Afterwards I felt very refreshed and happy and hopeful for the first time in awhile. Jenna and I discussed what she had encountered in my energy and some ways that I could positively alter my life. These things I have been practicing ever since, which has greatly improved my social and emotional well-being. This was a wonderful experience which I would highly recommend to anyone." - Jessica
"Feeling great appreciation for you. I'm finding a gentle creativity in everything I do. Thank you for your wisdom. Much love.” - Brian
"Jenna is skilled & intuitive with profound healing capacity. I recommend her to anyone seeking self growth, inner peace or resolution in their life. I always look forward to my sessions & find them highly impactful! She's a doll!!!!" - Sarah
"Hands down, Jenna is the best person that could have married us. We can't recommend her enough. After having spent several summers watching friends get married off, we developed a good sense of what we wanted for our own wedding. We were looking for an officiant that was very comfortable and graceful in speaking to a large group, but also meticulous and detailed when it came to helping us plan and pull everything together. Jenna has these skills in spades. She was very professional from the outset, working with us to draw out personal details and anecdotes surrounding our story. She was receptive to our vision, and offered thoughtful input to create a very personalized ceremony. On the day-of, Jenna really shined. She was able to depict all the tales we had shared about our love in a beautiful, storybook way that had everyone sharing laughter and tears. We were thankful to have someone with her grace and poise to help guide us in the spotlight before friends and family. Put simply: Jenna is a natural. Don't settle for anyone less!" - Dustin
"There are so many ways I could describe and attempt to define what it is that happens during a shamanic session with Jenna Bowers. Although each session is particular to the time and state I am in, the overarching theme I encounter is space. To me, Jenna is a gentle yet firm space holder. I go to her when I cannot hold the space for myself to ground and settle or when I need help in giving myself the permission to be fully in my own skin, in my own decision. The important part of my time with her is that she is the guide to the sessions more than she is the do-er of the sessions. In this way, she empowers me to trust what I am unwilling or able to listen to when I am on my own. When we are together, I truly feel held and given the space to slow down and explore whatever comes up. Sometimes that is an energetic imbalance or fluster while other times it has been a physical sensation in myself. Inevitably, I leave our sessions feeling encouraged, balanced and energized." - Kim
