Hi, I am Jenn (she/they)

My life has been shaped by experiences of trauma, madness, disability, chronic illness, and pain. These challenges have taken me on a journey I never could have anticipated. Navigating systems that often failed to recognize me for who I truly am, I’ve learned to reclaim my story, honor my resilience, and find healing through holistic practices that nurture the mind, body, and soul. Surviving childhood trauma, intimate partner violence, cancer, and the ongoing realities of chronic illness and disability, I’ve come to deeply understand that healing is never one-size-fits-all.

​

My Approach

​

Healing is a deeply personal process. This belief fuels my commitment to offering compassionate care rooted in healing-centered, trauma-informed practices and a deep respect for autonomy. I believe in the power of embodied healing—movement, mindfulness, and self-awareness—as a way to reconnect with ourselves and find strength in the process. My work is grounded in the principles of disability justice, liberatory harm reduction, and Mad Liberation. My goal is to create accessible and supportive spaces where individuals feel seen, heard, and empowered to reclaim their stories and step into their own healing journeys.
