With 14 years experience on the mat, 12 years have been dedicated to cultivating her skills as an instructor. As a blue belt, Jenn was one of the first to attend the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Instructors Certification Program and the Gracie Women Empowered Instructor Program. Jenn’s work is highly influenced by Rener and Ryron Gracie. She spent many hours on the mat beside the two. She adapted a lot of the philosophies she learned through the Gracie academy and combined them with the mindfulness practices she established while going through her own healing journey in recovery from addiction and CPTSD. Jenn’s story has been published in magazines and news articles over the years, including Women in Business, Gorgo, and Meditation Magazine. After her recovery from bulimia, she published her first book, “The Mindful Cookbook,” as a way to help others change their eating habits and lifestyle through conscientious eating. After almost losing her life to trauma and addiction, Jenn was able to turn her life around and create a thriving life of beauty and abundance. With the odds stacked against her, she went to war with what she calls, “The enemy within,” and she won. She survived and is living to tell her story and help others fight the war within themselves.
