“Jenna has been an incredible guide in my journey to gain more honesty, ownership, and authenticity in all aspects of my life. After our six-month chapter, I feel like I’ve done the work to design a life I want, not one that I’ve been conditioned to strive toward.”
“I have had the blessed opportunity to work with Jenna twice, and without a doubt I will continue to work with her in the future. She is knowledgeable, skilled, and she is authentically present with her clients’ experience. I have always been impressed with her level of integrity- it is the most important quality I seek in someone with whom I am doing soul-work.”
“Jenna has a gift unlike anything I’ve seen before. What I have gained from her guidance in just a few months has shown me my own potential in ways I didn’t even know existed. I got so much more than what I was initially seeking, and I can’t wait to continue working with and knowing Jenna in the future. She created a supportive environment that left judgement at the door and allowed for open, challenging work to be done. In a very short amount of time between 1:1 conversation, working with plant medicine, as well as attending her embodied boundaries workshop, I can confidently say that my path is clearer and brighter than it ever has been before. Words will never be enough for the gratitude I feel.”
“It’s taken me so long to write about the life-altering support that I have gained from Jenna in the last year precisely because words fall short in capturing just how seen, supported, and inspired she has helped me feel. In the last 15 months, I’ve worked with Jenna 1-1 for coaching and in three different small group settings where she acted as facilitator and guide. I’ve learned a tremendous amount through Jenna’s inquiry style and spiritual leadership, whereby she is simultaneously able to share her wounds while caring for the wounds in the room with loving care and intention. She knows how to give space for every person to grow at their pace, while pushing each of us to our zone of courage. She knows when to lean in and when to give grace and space. She is transparent about where she is challenged and includes those of us around her in her process, which is so refreshing and empowering to experience. We are all always co-creating. I’m particularly grateful for the ways in which she integrates powerful meditations and body movement into her coaching. These multiple modalities have been a great aid to me when words simply fall short. Jenna communicates exceptionally clearly and lays out expectations in such a helpful way; and as she does so, she also works with each person to ensure their needs are met and she does what is possible to support (yet without ever compromising herself or the expectations she laid out). I’ve learned so much from Jenna not just from what she has said or what she has done, but who she has been – consistently – in every single space we’ve shared. Thank you for the countless blessings, my friend.”
This is my second time doing a boundaries workshop with Jenna and I would continue to do more! Each time I gain new perspectives and challenges. Jenna takes time to hear each person’s voice and experience. She has a strong ability to create a space for learning, collaborating, and interpersonal work. I truly believe that this workshop could benefit every person no matter their personal experiences!
The Embodied Boundaries Workshop was everything I needed and more! I really enjoyed the structure of the information shared and the worksheets/workbook. I have been practicing boundaries in full strength and it feels so good!
The Boundary Workshop with Jenna was enriching of my theoretical knowledge and my deeper sense of understanding. The experience shifted energies in my body, so I feel I really could shift a pattern and raise awareness about my issues. Jenna offered a clear structure for the workshop and created space for movement and adaptation to the present group. It felt safe, warm and deep. Expansion happened, learning and growing in the process. Thank you Jenna.
Jenna’s embodied boundaries workshop was incredible. The beautiful group of people brought together, sharing themselves has forever changed me. I believe it has a lot to do with the way Jenna shows up and shares herself in the group the same way she asks us to. If you are given the opportunity to work with her, be prepared for your life to change for the better. Thank you Jenna for showing up and doing the work. Bless the sacred space.
Jenna is an amazing human and top-tier facilitator. Undoubtedly you will walk away with a new understanding about boundaries, yourself and relationships, after this workshop. I couldn’t recommend it more as being an important framework for personal growth.
In reflecting back on my journey to Peru in August 2022, I feel deep gratitude for the care and support I felt from Jenna throughout the entirety of my process there. I had been a coaching client prior to the retreat where I was able to experience the depth of the space Jenna could hold, and so I trusted that while walking into the unknown there would be a level of safety with her there to walk alongside me. Jenna helped me bridge the world I knew with one that was new to me in a way that I could really understand- the ability she has to meet people exactly where they are has been such a gift to me. Feeling completely held in the space by Jenna, Ute, and Juana, I discovered parts of myself that I have since worked with to live a more intentional, peaceful, and liberated life. I am infinitely grateful.
Out of all of the experiences of my life, my trip to Peru with Jenna and Venture Beyond was one of the most life-altering I’ve ever had. The center, ceremony space, co-facilitators, host family… every piece of the journey was thought through, well-chosen, and well-held. The care created an experience of safety so that I could go deeper than I’ve ever gone in my own healing work. I am so grateful to have taken the wild leap of the Peru trip – years later, its impacts continue to ripple throughout my life.
The Camino journey marked the beginning of an extraordinary chapter in my life. Walking hand in hand with Jenna, Nadia, and Rob became the most precious gift I could have ever received. Through the initial week’s physical, mental, and emotional trials, the unwavering support of Jenna, Nadia, and Rob became my anchor. The second week unfolded a profound transformation in my overall well-being — shedding heavy energy, I emerged feeling lighter and happier. Seeds of love, light, happiness, growth, and friendship were sown during those miles across Spain, leading to a cascade of transformative journeys.
Sleeping in diverse hostels, overcoming challenges from laundry to vegetarian meals and weather changes, each experience held meaning and purpose. Reflecting now, I recognize the profound impact, guiding me to inner and external transformations. This incredible journey, facilitated by my soul sister Jenna, was an immense blessing. I wholeheartedly recommend walking with her; she journeys with you through the darkest places, until the very end. Jenna, the mother, sister, woman, and extraordinary human, held me in boundless and unconditional love. Her wisdom and curiosity, heightened on the Camino, revealed a new dimension of Jenna — a guide who holds space, learns, teaches, and gives endlessly. Walking alongside her has been my greatest honor, an experience for which I will be eternally grateful.
I had the honor of walking the Camino de Santiago in 2022 with Venture Beyond guided by Jenna. She led our experience with poise, openness, respect, and boundless lessons that I am still integrating into my life today. I view the Camino as a concentrated tunnel of healing. It brings to light what has been hidden in the shadows.
My experience on the Camino is so deeply personal, it is difficult to boil it down into words. This path is filled with magic and wonder, pockets of healing, and the support needed to truly surrender. With Jenna’s fearless guidance, I was able to open my eyes to many parts of myself I was afraid to look at head on. She was very intuitive in knowing when I needed support and when I needed time to discover and walk on my own. I returned to the US rejuvenated, exhausted in the best way, and ready to integrate what I learned about myself, boundaries, and the wonder of the world around which I have now discovered in myself.
The healing aspects of nature, the magic of this pilgrimage, and Jenna’s wisdom are all elements of this experience that call to me to walk again. Thank you Jenna and the Camino, for this unforgettable life experience.
I was referred to Rooted Expansion from a dear friend of mine whom I witnessed first hand her own transformation at a party while we were dancing. She was glowing from the inside out, deeply comfortable in her own skin, and moving from a place inside her that was profoundly present in a way I’d never seen her before. A felt knowing…and I was called in immediately. I asked her what she’d been doing, and she told me about her women’s container in Rooted Expansion. I had a consult with Jenna (who has a true mastery of insight and holding space in a way to illuminate what needs to come forth in the present moment) and knew from the get-go this was going to be my new home for the next 5 months. I’d been searching for a supportive community that would hold me in all my shadows, flaws, vulnerability, and spiritual growth path. I got way more than that…true sisterhood, a depth of knowledge within myself I didn’t know was there or existed, radical acceptance from both the container as well as myself, and most importantly – tools to SEE. Having been blown wide open at the end of that container, I went straight into the 9 month Creatrix container to gain more insight into more and what had cracked open. Jenna, in her presence of wise leadership, intuition, and listening to her highly cultivated guidance with spirit, held the space for all of us to unfold in our own expansion, which we all did. I cannot express in words how much I know I’ve been changed, and now see a different trajectory for myself moving forward I hadn’t imagined was possible. During that time I had sessions with Bailey to help with IFS (internal family systems) work from Creatrix. Together with Bailey’s incredibly adept intuitive insights, I was able to make greater leaps and really dive into shadow work and seeing places I couldn’t access before. Jenna and Bailey both were on the same page during this time ‘weaving a Michaela basket’ as they coined…I never before have felt more personalized attentive focus, care, and commitment to my spiritual growth in a team than these two amazing women. I have put my trust in them and will continue to do so for years to come!
I have now traveled many heroine’s journeys. I know what it means to hear a call, answer the call, and descend into the underworld of my psyche. The parts of my psyche that haven’t seen the light of my consciousness in a long time. Those parts of Self that are most unknown can be the most petrifying: shame, fear, insecurity, unworthiness, deep pain, deep Truth. I have looked in the nooks and crannies of my being, places I didn’t even know were there and have welcomed them into the wholeness of my Light. I have often returned from these quests a weary traveler, weakened, humbled, lighter and so incredibly grateful to return home again.
The first call in adulthood kept getting louder and louder because at that time I didn’t know how to listen. I was hiding in many places of my life; codependent relationships, a job that wasn’t for me, escaping in excess, just to name a few. I was attached and grasping to hold on to what I thought I had, to what I thought was me. Numbing to avoid the Truth of my experience. Clinging to perceived safety and security. I didn’t know then that anything True cannot be given or taken. The universe got more and more destructive, manifesting chaos in my life. I see now, she was simply shaking what was time to go. I was kicked out of the nest. The details don’t matter anymore. The bio I wrote in 2019, shared more about the sex and pornography addiction that was revealed in my partner at the time, the repressed sexual trauma in me, the binge drinking… So much has changed now, all the places I have traveled to within myself have created freedom. This part of my life feels like a distant dream, a different life. The details no longer feel like a central piece of my story.
From this first shaking & crumbling, I started to learn how to listen. I started to learn what it means to surrender. I left my corporate job of 7 years in 2017, bought a one way ticket to Indonesia and wandered for a year and half, “quiet, endless searching” for what I know now was the Truth of who I am. In this year and half, I heard the call of Ayahuasca which forever changed me. I started to deepen into the plant medicine path, working and living at an Ayahuasca Center in Peru. I heard the call to serve. At first I thought, “I’m going to help so many people.” At the time, I had no idea how much serving others would change and shape me, that clients are my teachers dictating the curriculum of mystery school within me. I’m an excellent student, always learning and integrating the lessons Life gives me. I now know how reciprocal and generative it is to serve. I heard the call to conscious friendships and partnership. I’m about to embark on a heroine’s journey into Sacred Union and conscious conception. I continue to deepen on all these paths, the lessons never end and it’s because I love learning. I am grateful for my life and everything in it. I am living my dream life today. It is so delicious.
With each cycle of the heroine’s journey I’ve been on and will continue to walk, I am humbled more and more. I am learning to listen now without kicking and screaming. I am learning to listen now with presence. I am learning to listen and move through the world in right timing. I am learning the difference between moving from ego vs. spirit and the fruits born from the two. I am learning to notice who within/through me is talking. Who is the one asking the questions? I am learning to embrace the wholeness of things. I am learning to embody Rooted Expansion.
In my path of service and receiving, I grow with my clients, my fellow path walkers. I started as a coach, became a guide, a group facilitator, a birth doula and many more things that cannot be contained in these identities. I am here to walk with you through many seasons and phases of life. This is my calling. I am an initiator. I am a way shower. I will be here when you feel like you are ready to know the magnificence of who you are. I am here to walk with you when you are ready to start looking in the places you’ve abandoned. I am here when you are ready to honor yourself in Truth. I am here when you are ready to venture beyond the illusions, distortions, reflections and projections that separate you from your True Self. I am here when you are ready to receive yourSelf.
It’s okay to be scared. It’s a big deal. Fear moves through me most times I hear a call. I used to not know my fear but now I listen. Fear lets me know what parts of myself I need to gather and how to prepare for the journey that can never be prepared for. I sometimes cry because I know it’s time to let go of something I’ve held dear. Sometimes I know what it is and sometimes I don’t. What I do know, is that what is coming, is for me. It is coming to liberate me so that I may live the life I came here to live. I have Faith and Trust now. I feel the magnitude of what is being asked. I choose Life. I choose Light. I choose Love. What do you choose? I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your emerging path.
