The space Jen creates is truly judgment free and encouraging.
Unlike a lot of classes I’ve tried, the space Jen creates is truly judgment free and encouraging. She has so much wisdom to offer that extends past the yoga mat!

Working with Jen has been life changing for me in many ways.
Working with Jen has been life changing for me in many ways because of her ability to be direct and thoughtful in her comments. She allows for guidance with suggestions you may not have thought of and provides that information with heart. Some of her statements have stuck with me because of that. One of my favorites: "when someone compliments you, say thank you"...just that resonates in my mind instead of going into the back and forth of explaining why the compliment isn't valid.

If comfort had a face, it would look an awful lot like Jen.
If “comfort” had a face, it would look an awful lot like Jen. I’ve worked with her for five years, in multiple capacities, and never seem to be surprised at her ability to dive straight into a person and bring the best version of them back to the surface. She is a listener, without judgement; a healer, a friend, and an inspiration. It’s refreshing to witness a person who behaves, privately, so closely to the way that they present themselves publicly. Jen is certainly a rare pound of flesh in a world that has, all too often, become harshly plastic.

I truly cannot say enough positive about Jen.
I truly cannot say enough positive about Jen. When I first met Jen at the first "girl's night out" for pure movement (maybe 4 years ago?) I knew she had this incredibly healing way about her. In just one conversation I felt more empowered. I was In a very different place when i met Jen. I had a lot of healing to do. I couldn't look in the mirror I avoided them at all costs, I was constantly in a judgmental mean loop of self speak. I would hide my body, and never feel like I was enough as i was. Soon after I mer Jen I started going through the pure movement series, and workshops. Pretty soon i was looking at myself in the mirror and simply acknowledging the beautiful things I saw rather than what I didn't see or what I wanted to see. My self love started to grow. The journaling and life coaching really changed everything about my relationship with myself. Jen helped me not only heal myself, but taught me how to connect with myself. I now walk around not ever doubting if I'm enough. I still have a lot of learning and growing ahead but Jen has changed my life in so many ways.

Jen made me feel comfortable to be me in every sense of the word.
I first started working with Jen back in October of 2017. I came to an open house for puremvmt. She was such a warm and hospitable soul that I felt comfortable around her right away. From then on I spent the following year and a half coming back to the studio even though it was an hour away for me, just because I loved it that much. Jen taught me that it’s okay to take up space and to love myself. Puremvmt and Jen completely changed my outlook on myself especially with dealing with and eating disorder and negative body image. Jen made me feel comfortable to be me in every sense of the word and I am eternally grateful and can’t wait to get back on the floor and dance.

She expresses flow, gentleness, and power.
When I first met Jen, her presence was gentle, powerful and curious. When I saw her as an instructor, she eloquently and humorously blended words and music with a trained eye for movement. She expresses flow, gentleness and power. I became aware that in front of me is a wise woman living an unedited life and willing to share her depth of experience with all women that walk their path. I am filled with gratitude to know her and claim her as a friend and teacher.
