Hello, I’m Jenna
Where it all began…
I believe my interest in health began as a child where I loved caring for animals, whether it was a cicada, chicken, cat or lizard! However, it was my early interest in dance that cultivated a very visceral understanding of how foods and emotions affect physical expression in the human body.
For the first 21 years of my life, I was dedicated to the art of classical ballet. During my time as a dancer I was constantly researching how I could better my performance and “hack” my body through nutrition. Unfortunately, during this process I received misinformation and slipped in and out of disordered eating for 8 long years. After sustaining a major injury, I was thrust into figuring out who I was without dance, which was truly heartbreaking at the time, but now I see it as one of my greatest gifts!
My personal struggles with food and health ironically turned into a great passion…
The years that followed were extremely difficult as I tussled with my mental and physical health. However, it was during these challenging moments that really fostered a passion for natural medicine and healing. I could see how when I lived more in alignment with nature, my outlook and vitality would completely shift, as opposed to when I got stuck in cycles of eating unnatural foods, taking pharmaceuticals and isolating myself indoors. Though this was a very turbulent time, these contrasting experiences showed me the healing power of nature!
After a two year “dark night of the soul”, I managed to pull myself out of disordered eating, which birthed a desire to help others rediscover how amazing living in a healthy body feels! From there I decided to embark on a degree in Naturopathy and Nutrition and didn’t look back!
I know how it feels to be so deeply unhappy, uncomfortable and defeated within, but I also know that there is a way out. I really see nutrition, plant medicine and Human Design as gateways to higher states of living, they help set the foundation for how you interact with life. If you are living in an uncomfortable physical or emotional body, it is very difficult for you to reach your potential and fulfil your life purpose! This is what fuels my passion to guide, educate, nurture and support others in their journey to self-liberation and personal fulfilment.
