Is an experienced teacher and nature connection facilitator. After several years teaching across both primary and secondary schools, she developed a deep interest in how to enable young people to flourish and, in particular, by means of connecting to nature. Following this thread, she completed a masters in Leadership for Wellbeing, and pursued training in Forest School (Level 3), Ecotherapy and Forest Bathing. She has since worked on a care farm delivering wellbeing programmes for vulnerable young people, as well as working as a nature connection facilitator for Wildwise. Jenna has recently completed a training in Wilderness rites of passage and is excited about drawing on this experience to support young girls as they embark on their journey into adolescence.
