Meet Jen.

Jen received her Bachelor of Education degree with concentrations in Gender, Religious Studies and Psychology from McGill University in Montreal, and has always found herself intrigued with the  connections of mental and physical health. Because of her experiences with sexual and birth trauma, she longed to learn more about the ways to offer support to those who are making their way through tough life transitions. These days she works with folks through Yoga Therapy, Birthing from Within and is completing her studies as a Registered Clinical Herbalist. She also works as an implementation coach for parents who are struggling with physical and mental health challenges. Jen believes wholeheartedly that as humans, we weren't meant to struggle on our own. Our hearts and our big stories are meant to be witnessed, held and tended to by listening and caring ears, as a way of reconciling and moving through challenging experiences.
