Jenny lives and works in beautiful South Somerset, England. She grew up on a working farm and later studied at the University of Exeter. After that, adventure took her to Australia, where she spent fifteen wonderful years before returning home around 1998. The Somerset countryside — and family — were calling her back.

In Australia, Jenny helped people get back to work after injury, illness, or disability. She set up offices in the Atherton Tablelands (up in the hills behind Cairns) and in the Snowy Mountains, south of Canberra. It was hard work but full of joy and purpose — at one point, she was covering a region of more than 250,000 square miles! When she returned to England, her own company grew, offering vocational rehabilitation services and participating in European projects that shared new ideas across 14 countries.

Those were busy, exciting years — her team once took on twenty-five new referrals in a week and supported thousands of people over fifteen years. Along the way, Jenny served as a Trustee for her professional association and taught as a visiting lecturer and Open University tutor.

Around 2010, her focus began to shift. She became fascinated by energy work, trained as a shamanic practitioner, and completed a three-year apprenticeship in divination, healing, and magic.

Between 2014 and 2017, Jenny wrote three personal accounts. The first told the story of a three-month pilgrimage through South and Central America with a Peruvian shaman. In the next, she met and interviewed an extraordinary mix of “bards, hags, shrews, soothsayers, sorcerers, shamans, and witches” while exploring the pagan wheel of the year. In 2016, she journeyed through the Glastonbury zodiac with a “cunning man.”

More recently, she’s been exploring her family history and ancestral roots. Her fourth book, Sin-eater, grew out of this work and her experiences at the Battle of Sedgemoor site in Somerset. She’s also traced her lineage to Argyll and Perthshire in Scotland — uncovering deep connections between family stories, emotion, and healing.

Over the past decade, Jenny has explored both traditional and alternative approaches to wellbeing — working with a psychotherapist, a herd of horses, and an incredible range of bodyworkers, healers, and dreamcatchers. These experiences continue to shape her understanding of trauma and inspire her passion for helping others find their own path to healing and wholeness.

An old story ran my subconscious. It was a consequence of the past and left no space for a different future to open up.
