ABOUT ME
.png)
Hi, I’m Jenn (she/they), the heart behind The Body Grief Coach.
My experiences with trauma, madness, disability, chronic illness, and pain have profoundly shaped who I am. I’ve navigated systems that pathologized me and endured treatments that often did more harm than good. Through these challenges, I discovered the healing power of holistic practices that honor the mind, body, and soul.
​
My story includes childhood trauma, intimate partner violence, surviving cancer, and navigating life with multiple disabilities. These experiences have led me to embrace embodied healing and accessible yoga, grounded in compassion and principles of liberatory harm reduction and disability justice. I’m dedicated to creating a supportive, person-centered space where you are honored as a whole person.
Mission
​
My mission is to offer compassionate, holistic support for individuals navigating chronic illness, pain, disability, trauma, grief, and mental health challenges on their journey toward healing and self-liberation. Through embodied practices and a commitment to non-pathologizing, liberatory approaches, I center autonomy, personal wisdom, accessibility, and inclusivity, creating a space where experiences are deeply understood and honored.
Vision Statement
​
I envision a world where healing is anchored in compassion, liberation, and mutual aid. A world where every person—regardless of body, mind, or identity—has access to care that respects their autonomy, values lived experiences, and nurtures connection and community care.
Values
Guided by these values, I strive to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where individuals can heal, grow, and thrive.
Compassionate Care
I provide support with deep empathy and understanding, centering each person’s unique needs to ensure they feel truly valued and supported on their healing journey.
Inclusivity
I am dedicated to creating a supportive and affirming space for all individuals, including LGBTQIA2S+ individuals and those who identify as MMINDS (Mad, Mentally Ill, Neurodivergent, Disabled, Survivors).
Mad Liberation
I support the freedom and empowerment of mad, neurodivergent, and disabled people, challenging oppressive systems and celebrating diverse mental and emotional experiences. My focus is on breaking away from societal constraints and fostering a culture of pride, resilience, and liberation for all.
Healing-Centered Approach
I embrace a healing-centered approach that integrates culture, spirituality, civic action, and collective healing. This perspective views trauma as a shared experience, emphasizing resilience and community well-being over individual pathology.
Survivor-centered and Survivor-led
My practice is rooted in survivor-centered and survivor-led approaches, focusing on honoring the experiences, autonomy, and voices of survivors.
Liberatory Harm Reduction
I prioritize practices that minimize harm, respect autonomy, and empower individuals on their healing journey. I envision and strive towards a world free from systems of violence including racism, capitalism, patriarchy, ableism and sanism.
Disability Justice
I advocate for accessibility and inclusivity in my practice, challenging the impacts of systemic oppression—such as white supremacy, colonial capitalism, and ableism—on how bodies and minds are treated. My goal is to ensure everyone receives the support they need to thrive.
Anti-Oppression and Abolition
I work within an anti-oppression and abolitionist framework, actively challenging systemic injustices and advocating for transformative social change. My approach focuses on dismantling harmful systems and fostering equity and justice for all.
