Hi! My name is Jenna, I’m the founder of YogiNest. Let’s get reacquainted.
I was born in Milwaukee, WI. I have 2 half sisters & 1 half brother. I have 6 nieces & nephews. Most of my family still lives in Wisconsin, except for my mom who lives in South Carolina. My dad is not only the happiest person I’ve ever met, but he’s also pretty dang funny! I don’t get home as often as I’d like as I’m paralyzed by an irrational fear of flying and try to keep both of my feet on the ground as often as possible. I’ve been living in Los Angeles for 15 years & I can’t imagine living anywhere else. I live with my boyfriend of almost 7 years. We have 2 cats, Mika & Cricket & 1 dog, Lily. I’m OBSESSED with animals and have been vegan for more than 8 years. At one point in my life I wanted to pursue a career in Animal Sciences. During college I became extremely sick and was diagnosed with Lupus. I had two options, I could continue to work or continue to go to school, but my body couldn’t handle both. I chose work as I was living in Los Angeles by myself at the time and had to dropout of college. Eventually work took a back seat as well, as I was put on permanent disability for several years. That’s when I found mindfulness, meditation, and yoga. It changed my life forever! After several years of dedicating myself to my overall wellbeing and happiness I was able to put myself in remission. I changed my diet, removed toxic relationships & stressful situations from my life, focused strongly on my mindfulness, meditation & yoga practice, kept my stress levels in check, and took some much needed time to learn how I wanted to take care of my health vs. how my western medicine team wanted to handle it (LOTS of prescription drugs, and zero discussions about my diet, stress, or my overall level of happiness). It was this journey that birthed YogiNest & we just celebrated our 4 year anniversary! I am forever grateful for all the ups and downs that have brought me here today. My goal for YogiNest is to reach as many people as I possibly can who are struggling with trauma, chronic/terminal illness, PTSD, depression, anxiety, etc. and teach them all the invaluable things I’ve learned over the years with my own illness. To say I’ve found my calling is an understatement, this is my dream “job.” Through this extremely powerful practice I aspire to change one life at a time. That’s me in a nutshell. It was so nice to remeet you!
