HI! I’M JENN.

A kid at heart, I aim to inspire others to step into their power to live and love more fully. Compelled to share my continued path of deepening self-awareness and emotional connectivity, I draw from over a decade of guiding and outdoor education and a Master's in Education and Play.

Growing up in the woods of Maine, I loved getting lost in the woods. From there, my appetite for growth as a guide grew through college in Vermont and beyond. This led to teaching and/or guiding mountain biking, skiing, surfing, sailing, rock climbing, guitar, Spanish, French, and singing.

Continuing to explore emotional depth and vulnerability through nature-based play has led to working with clients through play, particularly mountain biking and skiing, to deepen self-awareness. Earning a Master’s in Education and Play through an EU consortium in 2021, I studied vulnerability in play in Spain, Portugal, China, the U.S., and Turkey.

Launched in 2022, Pretty Moving bring my passions together to offer workshops and nature-based play coaching.
