Who’s in charge here . . . ?

A kid at heart, Jenn aims to inspire others to step into their power to live and love more fully. Nature-based play provides copious opportunities to witness, release, and grow through the challenges that naturally arise in adventurous pursuits.

Compelled to share her route to self-awareness and emotional intelligence, she draws from twelve years of guiding and outdoor educational experience and a Master's in Education and Play. In 2021, she earned a Master’s in Education and Play through an EU consortium. Studying in Córdoba, Spain, Lisboa, Portugal, and Istanbul, Turkey inspired her holistic approach to education. This followed a B.A. in Early Childhood Education and Anthropology from Saint Michael’s College in Burlington, Vermont. In the woods of Vermont, she fell in love with guiding and developed insatiable appetite for learning and growth. This has led to teaching and 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 families through play, especially mountain biking and skiing, to deepen self-awareness. Launched in 2022, Pretty Moving offers workshops and nature-based play coaching. Jenn also sings and writes songs with Jeny and the Bets. Find her singing in the woods.
