Hi, I am Jenn (she/they)

My life has been shaped by trauma, madness, disability, chronic illness, and pain. These experiences have brought me through grief, transformation, and self-discovery. I’ve faced systems meant to offer support that instead caused harm, teaching me the need to reclaim my story, honor my worth, and heal in ways that nurture mind, body, and spirit.

​

As a survivor of childhood trauma, intimate partner violence, cancer, and living with chronic illness and disability, I know healing is not linear, nor is it one-size-fits-all. I believe liberation and wholeness are possible, even in struggle. My journey has taught me that healing can be personal and collective, grounded in connection, self-compassion, and the recognition of systemic injustice.​

My Approach

​

I believe every person is the expert on their own experience. This belief guides my commitment to trauma-informed care that honors autonomy and embraces liberatory harm reduction practices.

​

I create accessible, supportive spaces for people of all identities, particularly those navigating grief, chronic illness, disability, trauma, and eating disorders. My work is grounded in disability justice and Mad Liberation, recognizing the unique paths we each take and the systems that impact us.

​

Through trauma-informed, accessible yoga, meditation, and breathwork, I offer tools for grounding, connection, and self-awareness. Whether through mindful movement, peer support, or simply holding space, I aim to meet you where you are.

​

My goal is to support you as you reclaim your body, your story, and your life.
