Jenny is a soft and wild teacher. A nurturer and an edge walker in one. Always willing to dive deep and seek the unexpected. Tuning in with her heart, mind and belly she sees and supports the web of interconnection, personally and collectively, that is a necessary healing salve in our world today. Investigating our depths through emotional work, embodiment practices, making art, and deep connection to the natural world, feeds her soul and inspires her teaching each time she steps into this role. She has been teaching embodiment and movement for over 25 years having mentored and studied with some extraordinary teachers. She has a Master’s degree in Leadership Education. She founded Presence Studio - a beautiful and vibrant movement studio now run as a collective non-profit in Bellingham, Wa. Open Floor Movement Practice is her modality of choice and she is has trained teachers from around the world in embodiment and conscious dance practice. In addition she is deeply committed to being Executive Director of Rite of Passage Journeys - a 55 year old organization committed to mentoring and personal growth through deep connection to the natural world and Rite of Passage ceremonies. She also was a bodyworker for many years, who is infinitely fascinated by the fascia of the body, the nervous system and how it all shapeshifts and adapts for us to not just survive but also thrive when conscious attention is brought to these systems. In addition, dreamwork, shamanic studies and prayerful healing ceremony is a lifetime muse of study. Her greatest daily influence is living on 14 acres by a wild river at a magical place called River Root Farm. Waking to the sound of chittering eagles, witnessing the changes of the river, and feeling the song of the forest and mountains is having its wild way with her.
