Executive Team
|
As Executive Director and co-founder of Integrative Healers Action Network (IHAN), Jenny leads statewide efforts to bring integrative health care to communities affected by environmental disasters. What she loves most about this work is connecting with a vibrant network of practitioners, witnessing healing in action, collaborating with partners, and building relationships that make this kind of medicine life-changing, especially in the aftermath of crisis.
In addition to her role at IHAN, Jenny finds balance as a nature-based mindfulness facilitator. As a certified Nature & Forest Therapy Guide, she leads forest bathing experiences through EcoWisdom Wellness, helping people slow down, find balance, and reconnect with the natural world. It's a practice that sustains her amid the demands of nonprofit leadership and disaster response. A near-death scooter accident in 2014 profoundly shaped Jenny’s path. Western medicine saved her life, but it was integrative care, meditation, and time in nature that helped her heal deeply and find purpose. Experiencing the cost and privilege of this care sparked her commitment to making integrative health more accessible for everyone, especially those recovering from trauma. Jenny holds a Master’s Degree in Integrative Health Studies from the California Institute of Integral Studies and a BA in Political Science from San Francisco State University. She is also a Guided Imagery Practitioner, Resilience Advantage HeartMath Trainer, Integrative Health Coach, and has training in climate psychology and somatic experiencing. Based in Santa Rosa, she loves hiking, camping, live music, writing, and traveling with her husband, two stepdaughters, and their beloved pets. |

Dr. Jen Riegle is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor with a degree from Bastyr University, where she received advanced training in environmental medicine, infectious disease, gastrointestinal health, women’s health, infertility, biofeedback, and traditional medicine practices.
She is the Co-Founder and Medical Director of Integrative Healers Action Network (IHAN), where she leads a dedicated team of integrative medicine providers responding to communities impacted by disaster. She is also the Medical Director for Wild Oak Medicine’s first responder treatment programs and a founder of Wild Oak Medicine in Santa Rosa, California. Dr. Riegle’s commitment to disaster response and first responder care is rooted in personal experience. As a child, her home burned in the middle of the night—an event that hospitalized her father with severe burns and destroyed everything her family owned. The care and support they received from their community shaped her lifelong passion for service. With both parents being retired wildland firefighters, Jen grew up with a deep respect for those who serve on the front lines. In 2017, just after moving to Sonoma County, she and IHAN Co-Founder Jenny Harrow-Keeler mobilized a network of integrative providers to staff 15 pop-up clinics across shelters, base camps, armories, and community centers during the Tubbs Fire. That moment of collective action gave rise to IHAN. Dr. Riegle brings to her leadership a unique blend of clinical expertise, intuitive insight, and a deep understanding of trauma-informed, culturally responsive care. She is passionate about systems change, collaborative healthcare models, and the healing potential that emerges when science, spirit, and community come together. She is a 2025 recipient of the Physician of the Year Award from the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians and a two-time recipient (2018, 2025) of the Champion of Naturopathic Medicine Award from the California Naturopathic Doctors Association. When she’s not working, you’ll likely find her spending time with her family, in nature, dancing, cooking, or in ceremony with her spiritual mentors. |
