Nurturing Leadership

---

 Jeni created a welcoming space that allowed our staff to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with nature and each other. The experience was deeply relaxing while also encouraging quiet introspection and thoughtful conversation among colleagues. 

It was a wonderful reminder that leadership and team building don’t always happen in a meeting room, they can happen 

on a trail, surrounded by trees. Our team left feeling refreshed, more connected, and grateful for the opportunity to pause and grow together. 

We highly recommend Jeni’s forest therapy experiences for Executive teams looking to nurture well-being, strengthen team relationships, and create space for thoughtful leadership.

At the organizational level, Jeni facilitated productive conversations with our leadership team, helping us stay aligned around mission, priorities, and long-term strategy during a complex period of change. Her ability to balance empathy with accountability and strategic focus made a significant difference and kept us on track throughout the process.

Because of this partnership, we emerged with a stronger strategic vision, a smoother CEO transition, and a leadership team better prepared for the future. I would highly recommend Jeni's executive coaching and facilitation expertise to any organization navigating leadership transition, growth, or organizational change.

I have had the privilege of working alongside Jennifer and have consistently been impressed by her deep expertise in trauma-informed care and unwavering commitment to supporting both clients and colleagues. Her ability to offer mentorship and support to others with compassion, insight, and practical guidance has been a positive influence on the gender-based violence field. 

In addition to her clinical knowledge, Jennifer is a skilled leader and trainer who has a remarkable ability to translate complex concepts into meaningful, actionable learning experiences. Her leadership inspires confidence, fosters growth, and helps create a culture grounded in empathy, excellence, and continuous learning. 

Personally, her mentorship has had an impact on my own professional growth, deepened my understanding of trauma-informed practices, and helped me to become a more thoughtful and effective leader.  

 I had the opportunity to partner with Jennifer during my master’s program, and I would highly recommend her based on the quality and impact of her coaching. Jennifer brings a strong combination of empathy, rigor, and thoughtful structure to every session. She listens carefully, asks high-quality questions, and is consistently effective in guiding clients toward meaningful “aha” moments—insights that are not only clear, but actionable.

With a background as a CEO for nonprofits and a specialization in transitions, she understands the complexities of change and supports individuals with both perspective and precision. She also incorporates a nature-focused business lens, which adds a grounded, values-driven dimension to her work.   

 I quickly connected with Jeni during our in-person immersion for Forest Therapy guides, the final stretch of our training. She has a lovely, warm, inviting demeanor, and it was easy to share with her. In addition to aligning as forest therapy guides, we shared a love for nature photography and a background in domestic violence/ non-profit work. 

I have been lucky to work with Jeni in a coaching capacity; she's been helping me transition from over two decades in non-profit work to launching a private practice. Jeni is great at helping narrow large ideas into smaller actionable tasks and goals, and has been a true gift to me during this time.
