Jenna holds a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus in Communications Journalism from Florida Atlantic University and began her career as an Elementary ESE teacher. While she found great fulfillment in education, she soon recognized the potential for burnout, prompting a quest for balance in her wellness journey. This led her to embrace her passion for yoga, where she not only became a certified yoga instructor but also integrated guided meditations into her practice. Her dedication extended to children, sharing the benefits of yoga to nurture their growth and well-being.

As her life evolved, Jenna shifted her focus towards family while maintaining her personal commitment to meditation and mindfulness. This dedication deepened her understanding of the healing powers of sound and energy. In this renewed focus, Jenna became proficient in the art of meditation, mindfulness, sound healing, and energy work, all of which she has experienced as transformative tools in managing life’s challenges.

During the global pandemic, Jenna recognized the growing concerns around anxiety and stress across all ages. Driven by a compelling desire to help others navigate these difficulties, she embraced her role as a teacher, transforming her passion into a calling to support and educate those seeking solace and peace in their lives.
