Jenny lives and works in Somerset, England. She was born and raised on a working farm, attended university in Exeter and then, lived overseas in Australia for nearly twenty years. In the late 1990’s her childhood home beckoned and she returned to be around her family and the familiar countryside of the Somerset levels.
Jenny had a thirty-five-year professional career in vocational rehabilitation. She helped people who had injury, illness or disability to return to work. At that time, she was a Trustee for the Vocational Rehabilitation Association (VRA), a guest lecturer for City University, an Associate Lecturer for University of Derby Corporate and tutored for the Open University. Her company provided insurer-focused vocational rehabilitation services and was involved in transfer of innovation projects working in fourteen European countries.
In 2011, Jenny qualified as a shamanic practitioner. A few years later she became interested in dowsing and started to research her ancestors. This work became the focus of her travels in Argyll and Perthshire, Scotland. More recently she’s completed a three-year apprenticeship-type course in divination, healing and magic. Her teacher, Tim Raven, works predominately within the Norse, Celtic, and Saxon traditions.
Jenny is passionate about individual, ancestral and collective healing techniques. She travelled for three months with a Peruvian shaman in South and Central America to activate the ‘feminine Earth chakras’ and spent a year investigating the Glastonbury zodiac with a ‘cunning man’. She likes to have a foot in both the spiritual and more traditional/academic worlds and has recently enrolled in a degree course in history, heritage and archaeology.
An old story ran my subconscious. It was a consequence of the past and left no space for a different future to open up.
