Lynn Valley | Nestled amongst the trees

This week has the energy of the Lion’s Gate Portal - which energizes our manifestation and visualizations. In class I will invite you to reflect, release what no longer serves, and set intentions for the last part of 2026.

This Wednesday, I invite you into a gentle evening of connection.This isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about remembering who you are beneath the stress, the responsibilities, and the constant doing.

If you’ve been craving space to breathe, to be held in community, and to reconnect with yourself, this evening is for you.

✨ You’ll leave feeling grounded, nourished, connected, and inspired.

Please bring:
• A yoga mat
• A blanket and pillow for comfort
• A journal and pen
• Layers to stay cozy

Tea, connection, and a safe space to simply be are waiting for you.

With love,
Jenn

I was asked to submit photos of myself teaching YOGA. I didn’t think I’d find a ton - I realize I don’t fully identify as a “real” instructor. It’s that pesky imposter syndrome showing up.
Instead I discovered 7 years of pictures and 50
+ photos. Teaching in massive groups of over 50, small groups of 2, classroom with the kids partner yoga in grade 2, women in East Van, Naramata, Squamish, Vancouver and North Van. My “type” of class and yoga is very personal. Incorporating posture with breath, music, dance moves, and ways to expel stress. I haven’t fully found a perfect “name” for it, but I know it’s meant for more! I will be teaching at a special space again in the Fall in New West. And probably online, and in school gyms, libraries, the classroom and my backyard. It’s my calling to help women learn their body’s language.

This depiction of the Charkra system is so beautiful. We will be ending our CONNECT class this Wednesday with a deep ROOT CHAKRA sound bowl, visualization and meditation for support.
3 SPOTS remain in class. Lynn Valley 6 PM. Message me to attend.
XO Jenn

I’m Jenn. A spontaneous lover of life!
I have walked through heavy grief, separation, chronic pain, depression and anxiety and found somatic therapy both healing and life changing. It is what pushed me to become a practitioner myself.

I am an Integrative Somatic Therapy Practitioner (ISTP TM) who’s soul focus is to teach others the language and wisdom held within their bodies so they can release tension, stress, trauma and other ailments.
It is a trauma informed practice that creates safety first, to begin your somatic journey.
I incorporate Restorative Yoga, Somatic Touch and Breathwork as well as mindful tools into my practice.

Reach out if you’d like to begin your SOMATIC THERAPY journey with me. I’ve worked with over 200 clients both online and in person.

Cards can be such fun and often a beautiful guide for your day. They help set intentions and reveal things you may not have thought about. This is my favourite deck owned by my favourite witch in training, my Kai

✨ CONNECT ✨
First Class: July 22, 2026
Lynn Valley — my backyard, nestled amongst the trees.

Ayurvedic Tea. Community. Mindful movement.

This is for the woman who is longing to reconnect—with herself, her body, her intuition, and a sense of community.

This is for the woman whose body feels unfamiliar.

This is for the woman who’s had a hard year.

This is for the woman who feels there’s something more waiting for her in this life.

Because... me too. ❤️

That’s exactly why I created CONNECT.

Come spend an hour in nature where you don’t have to have it all figured out. A space where you can exhale, soften, and simply be held.

Together we will slow the mind so you can begin to hear the wisdom your body has been trying to share beneath the noise of everyday life.

You’ll experience:
✨ Intentional somatic movement
✨ A guided meditation
✨ Tea and meaningful connection
✨ A supportive circle of women

My intention is to hold space for you, while gently teaching you how to begin holding space for yourself.

If your heart is whispering “I need this,” I hope you’ll listen.

I’d love to welcome you into the circle. 💛

Calm Cabana writing this morning:

Today I embody the woman who owns her business
Sharing my passion
What I do

In a way that invites and excites women to come together
Women heal together

Being in space held with women
Regulates and uplifts all

In a safe space where you are accepted truly as you are
Not the manicured version

I want you to show up with your hair natural,
Comfortable clothing that lets your cells breathe

Let’s your soul take an exhale

Grounding into the sacred Earth
What do you want to let go of?

Pressing palms into palms
Connecting
To one another
And Mother Earth

Feeling held
Feeling heard
Feeling allowed to rest

Feeling our muscles build
Sweat on our brows nourishing ourselves

Feeling flushed
Feeling whole

We will climb the mountain together
Release together
Then journey down for rest,
Tea,
Conversation
Or Solitude

Allowing each person to have the space they desire.

Lately I have been saying yes to myself. Something I never did throughout most of my life, especially after becoming a Mom. I wanted so badly to go to RÜFÜS DU SOL and could not find anyone to go with. So I bought my ticket and let the energy of saying yes, in the universe take its course. Ended up meeting, amazing people, camping, laughing, singing on the shuttle bus, visiting waterfalls, seeing wildlife and saying YES to what fuels me. RÜFÜS DU SOL has been a big impactful part of my healing process after a lot of grief and it really mattered to see them. I’m so glad I took the leap. This is for all the moms out there. Remember that your joy matters too and let’s you be a better, fully present parent.

Turning into a country girl slowly. Megan Patrick with my new teaching family. Saying yes more and more. Dancing through this stage of my life.
