About Jenny

My deep love for the living Earth began in childhood. I spent my early years roaming the east coast shores of the Atlantic and exploring the wooded pockets of my suburban neighborhood. Even then, I felt a profound sense of oneness with the world, a truth the poet Rumi captures beautifully: “You are not a drop in the ocean; you are the entire ocean in a drop.” As a child, I knew this instinctively. I belonged to everything.

As my career in technology grew and a computer screen became my daily view, I began seeking refuge in nature. I escaped to remote landscapes to unplug and recharge. Yet something had shifted. The natural world was no longer the place I lived in. It had become a place I visited.

Everything changed with the arrival of my children. Reading The Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv sparked a powerful realization. My children needed a relationship with the living Earth just as I had in my youth. Their well-being depended on it. So did the future of our planet.

This moment marked the beginning of my return to a connected life. I rediscovered the interdependence of all living things, immersed myself in Buddhist philosophy, and cultivated a meditation practice that has carried me through life’s challenges. These experiences eventually guided me toward my purpose. I wanted to help others rekindle their relationship with the more-than-human world and find peace through presence and mindful connection.
To honor that work with care, I built a foundation of training in nature guiding, contemplative practices, and holistic health.

I am a certified Mindful Outdoor Guide through the Kripalu School of Mindful Outdoor Leadership and a certified Forest Therapy Guide through the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy. I am also a certified Mindfulness and Meditation Teacher in the Insight tradition. My background includes certifications as a PN Level 1 Nutrition Coach, Health Coach, and Personal Trainer through the American Council on Exercise, as well as a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher. My studies in Ayurveda inform my approach to seasonal well-being, balance, and nature-based self care.

When I am not guiding, you can find me cycling indoors and out, tending the garden, cooking plant-based meals with my husband, exploring creative art projects with my daughter, or curled up with a good book and my beloved dog.
