Jenna's Healing Journey:

Reclaiming Strength and Alignment

MY STORY IN & on

Hi, I’m Jenna! What a remarkable journey it has been to get here!

My exploration of the unknown began in 2008 when I was diagnosed with an autoimmune joint degenerative disease at just 21. As a high-performing athlete, nature lover, and adventurous spirit, the diagnosis felt devastating. It deeply affected both my body and mind, leading me to wrestle with limiting beliefs about what my future would hold. But amid those challenges, I uncovered a new foundation—a way to rebuild, reclaim, and reimagine my life.

For over a decade, I worked as a secondary science teacher and athletic coach, building strong connections with students from a variety of backgrounds and age groups. My role gave me not only the privilege of mentoring student-athletes—many of whom went on to compete at intercollegiate levels—but also the ability to lead multiple teams to championship victories. These experiences sharpened my ability to meet people where they are, offering them not only instruction but emotional support and guidance through growth.

At the same time, my professional journey allowed me to witness the immense pressure that we often place on ourselves to meet societal standards. Guiding my students through these struggles illuminated a similar truth within me: my soul was outgrowing the rigid narratives I had embraced, and my body was signaling it was time for something new. This realization prompted a shift in both my personal and professional life—a journey toward healing practices that have since become integral tools in my work.

Yoga, breathwork, and Reiki opened the doors to a deeper sense of self-awareness. These modalities helped me reconnect with my body, regulate my nervous system, and build practices of presence that continue to guide me today. Along this journey, I embraced more than just movement—I explored therapeutic practices and self-development tools, attended workshops, and immersed myself in spaces where healing and growth intersect. These experiences helped me understand not only my own path but also how to hold space for others as they navigate their own transformations.

After seven years of personal practice, I pursued my Yoga teaching certification in Maui, Hawaii, deepening both my knowledge and my ability to guide others through their journeys. I’ve had the privilege of teaching in top studios across Long Island and the Hawaiian Islands. I also became a certified breathwork facilitator and a Reiki Master practitioner, integrating these disciplines to support clients more holistically. As an advocate for movement in nature, I now split my time between land and sea—whether teaching SUP Yoga or leading hikes—where the wild continues to nurture and inspire me.

My personal journey, coupled with years of professional coaching, healing certifications, and facilitation experiences, has given me a unique set of tools. With gratitude for the challenges and growth I’ve experienced, my calling now is to support others—like you—who are on their own journeys of transformation. Whether through breath, movement, nature, or energetic healing, I’m here to walk alongside you and help you uncover the strength, peace, and alignment already within you.
