Somatic Healing Retreats · Bend, Oregon & Bozeman, Montana

Finally—
in the same room.

After years of transformative work online, I'm coming to the States for a small series of in-person weekend intensives—held in wide-open nature, away from the noise, so you can focus entirely on your next breakthrough.

Five early bird spots are available for the group intensive.

The intention

Same continent. Same room. Deeper work.

Digital spaces let us connect across borders, and that virtual format will always be the heartbeat of my work. But since moving to London, I haven't been back to the States in over two years—and many of you I've never met in real life.

Working together in person is one of the most powerful ways to make significant, rapid progress. These intensives are a chance to step out of your daily routines, into an open and grounding environment, and give your nervous system the time and space it's been asking for.

Meet Jenna

I am a neuroscientist and therapist and treat the effects of PTSD, complex trauma, parental narcissism and emotional immaturity on the body and brain at both the brain and nervous system levels but also the molecular levels for a truly holistic approach. You cannot think or talk your way out of trauma - I work directly with the entire body to retrain the brain and nervous system toward healing.

Planning your trip

Plan around this as if it were major surgery.

Jenna's work is deeply transformative, even for people who have spent 10+ years in talk therapy.

Give yourself a day before to settle in, and a day after to settle and consolidate the changes before travelling.

I highly recommend having a slow, relaxing spa day or post-retreat day that my highly capable retreat coordinator Katie can help you plan.

Bespoke planning for hotels and transportation is available if you would like help with that.

Small group 1:1 intensives ↑

Group trauma healing intensive

Research shows that trauma impairs our ability to have healthy relationships with others.

Healing cannot happen while continuously in connection with unsafe people or environments.

Healing happens in the safety of a group that is committed to growth and healing themselves.

You will be held in the safety of a group that understands.

Who it's for

For bright, big-hearted, hard-working people who are ready to stop circling the same patterns.

Whether you've spent years in talk therapy and still feel stuck, or you're newer to this work and want a real starting point, these intensives offer something a weekly session can't: extended, embodied time to work with stress, trauma and family-of-origin patterns—held in a small group.

You've done a lot of talking about it—now you want to feel the shift in your body.

You notice how your family of origin still shows up in your relationships today.

You want uninterrupted time, away from daily routines, to focus entirely on your healing.

You're drawn to experiential work—movement, touch and ceremony—alongside others on the same path.

The setting

Mountain air and wide-open space—Bend, Oregon and Bozeman, Montana.

Instead of busy city centers, we'll gather in a beautiful, expansive retreat house surrounded by nature—cozy fireplaces, bright open rooms and room to breathe. You can choose from either location.

Boutique accommodations to help you heal.

Farm-to-table food

Nourishing meals curated to meet your dietary needs

Somatic movement

Yoga, meditation and body-based practices to open and close each day.

Deep connection

A small group of people on their own healing journeys, doing the work together.

Open, grounding land

Expansive outdoor spaces and hiking trails for exploration and nature-guided healing

Optional add-ons

Personalized astrology readings Massage

Lennon and our new pup

For those of you who love dogs (and Lennon!)

Lennon loves his new life in London, but the trip over was very tiring for him and me (he literally has two passports), so he will be staying in the UK.

I've been wanting to get Lennon a baby brother or sister, and I also needed a service dog for gluten detection for my celiac disease, so I'll have that new pup with me for these retreats.

Her little nervous system is a top priority for me, so I will be following the instructions from her trainer to ensure her development goes according to plan. That means she may not always be available to everyone, but she will be around in specific doses.
