Here's my Story
Here's my Story
I’m so glad you’re here. My journey to leadership and embodiment work began as a self-conscious student, sitting in traditional classrooms where I felt invisible. I failed to fit into the education system’s narrow definition of intelligence and dealt with crippling self-doubt because of it. Through decades of dance education and gaining a deeper understanding of diverse intelligences, Kinesthetic and Emotional, I rediscovered my body’s wisdom and reclaimed my identity. It’s my life’s work to bring that same gift to you, so that you can live the radically honest and empowered life you deserve.
All of the multi-faceted, courageous clients I’ve been lucky to work with over the years wear many “hats” in life, and I am no different. I’m a dance educator who’s forever inspired by my 16 years with The National Dance Institute, a role that allowed me to teach and mentor other educators and learn from children across NYC public schools. I’m a mother who has been humbled time and again by my children’s wisdom. I’m a woman who has learned that listening to my soul is always the right answer, even when it’s scary and painful. Especially when it means breaking myself free from societal norms. Each role has deepened my empathy and led me back to my true purpose: to guide you back to your body and your truest self.
So, what’s your body trying to tell you? I can’t wait to find out.
Jen’s Journey
Dance Education
I grew up attending the Montclair, NJ performing arts schools where I studied various movement styles. I went on to receive my Associates Degree from Dean Jr. College in 1991 and my BFA degree in 1993 from The Music and Performing Arts Professions at New York University with a dance major and education minor. Performing & Educating continue to be an active part of my life.
Dancer & Teaching Artist
For 16 years, I taught Arts Education to NYC public school children with the National Dance Institute, inspiring thousands across Harlem, Chelsea, Tribeca, Chinatown, Brooklyn, and Queens. In 2019, I wrote, directed, and produced Voices of Change, empowering 6,500 children to recognize the importance of their voices through art, poetry, drumming, spoken word, and movement. This philosophy—that every voice matters—continues to shape my work today.
Sales, Mom, Photographer
Eight years in sales management ignited my passion for leadership and empowering others, bringing me closer to my purpose. As a family and event photographer, I had the privilege of witnessing people’s authentic interactions with the world. Motherhood has been my greatest teacher and gift of all, humbling me with my children’s wisdom and showing me that they are among my life’s most profound teachers.
The Power of Gesture™
The Power of Gesture™ awakens the intuitive voice within each of us by transforming emotions into simple, expressive hand gestures, releasing stuck energy and providing the clarity needed to lead with confidence in every area of life. This practice forms the foundation of my coaching, workshops, and speaking engagements, helping you break free from societal norms and connect with your own innate intelligence. By integrating research on multiple forms of intelligence with my unique embodiment methodology, The Power of Gesture™, has become a pathway for people to access their inner brilliance, embrace their true selves, and lead their lives from an empowered and elevated place.
Pandemic Shift & The herStories Collection
In the isolation of the 2020 pandemic, I felt called to create a healing modality through embodied storytelling. Using Zoom as a gateway to global connection, I curated The herStories Collection—150 short-form video documentaries capturing resilience, courage, and life lessons through conversations, footage, and music. This transformative experience birthed The Power of Gesture™ Method, blending embodiment and storytelling to help others reconnect with their true selves.
Sharing Gratitude
Creating The herStories Collection was a transformative journey, witnessing the survival stories of 150 courageous Women from around the world. Their strength and resilience became my greatest teachers, igniting a fire within me to embrace vulnerability, speak my truth, and show up fully in my own life. These stories revealed that storytelling is not just expression but a powerful bridge to healing and connection.
