What people are saying…
I loved, loved, loved the workshop, thank you. I learned a lot and I’ve also taken classes on the vagus nerve!
Super powerful work and a great moment of reflection for the team… the strategies were so simple and achievable for anyone.
I’m going to think about how to incorporate some of these mindful somatic habits into my routine in the evening to help unwind and help with insomnia.
Beautiful, simple, powerful work.

"Enrolling my teachers in Jennie's training program was one of the best decisions I've made in my career. From the moment the training started, we felt embraced by a passionate educator. The content was not only engaging but immediately applicable - We found ourselves implementing new strategies and techniques in our building right away. What truly set this training apart was its timely and research-based approach, ensuring that every lesson was grounded in the latest educational practices. I can confidently say that this program has transformed not only our practice but also the students' learning experiences. Thank you for providing such a warm and welcoming environment for growth and development."

“I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Jennie for over 10 years. Jennie is one of the most passionate and intelligent people I know. She truly loves what she does and her positive energy is contagious. She has the ability to engage any child, no matter their individual differences, in yoga and breath work. She is creative in her treatment planning and recognizes the need to meet everyone where they are at and to include their passions and interests into their work. Her background as a special educator combined with her energy work and yoga in itself is a blessing. Add in her dynamic, caring personality and it's like magic to watch her work.”
-Sharron, MS OTR/L, Owner of Advanced Pediatric Therapies
“Jennie is an amazing educator, supporter and guide. She came into my 2nd grade classroom for 10 sessions to teach my students about breathing, mindfulness, healthy habits in nutrition and yoga. In that time she became a delightful, trusted adult for my students enabling them to take the chance to try new things with her. Jennie’s ability to keep a focus on learning and growth, while maintaining an environment of fun is inspiring. Her infections laugh and brings smile makes anything seem possible, and everyone feel better!” -
Jill, 2nd grade teacher in Portland Public Schools, OR
“Working with Jennie was my son’s first exposure to a yoga practice. It was so awesome to watch his transformation in being able to do the poses and participate in the chants more consistently each session. He was also able to go from individual sessions to working in a small group with another student, which was a great social connection as well. The skills that he developed in his work with Jennie, such as yoga breathing, chanting and certain poses are things that he could take with him to help calm and regulate his body at school and home. We are forever grateful to Jennie for her knowledge and obvious love of yoga and commitment to those she shares it with.”
-Kari, mom of son (23) with Autism who worked with Jennie for 6 years
“As a family with children who are both neurodiverse and need additional support and accommodation to thrive, Jennie did an amazing job of listening and collaborating with us to help identify our needs. She then created a plan with tools and strategies for our family to grow our skills and provide a more positive and supportive family environment.”
