Jenny co-founded IHAN during the 2017 Tubbs Fire in Sonoma County because she saw a gap in care that was direly needed.

Jenny is a Certified Nature Therapy Guide and Certified HeartMath Trainer with extensive training and experience facilitating mind-body awareness techniques, stress management tools, health education, trauma-informed care, and ecotherapy.
