Jenna Avery is a highly sensitive soul who naturally sees the beauty in her surroundings and in the people around her. Her ability to intuit deep potential allows her to gracefully coordinate what's expressed on the outside with what's hidden within.
As a child, Jenna had a way of knowing what was inherently right and just, and how to make something that way. Whether it was decorating a room, arranging a plate of food “just so,” or knowing how to comfort someone, Jenna was a natural.
Jenna brought her passion for innate rightness into her studies as a land planner and environmentalist at California State University, Hayward. She strived to develop better ways to live on this planet, working with a local church to create a guide for green living, and interning as a planner to create an implementation strategy for affordable housing. Her passion for a healthy planet and clean water, food, and fuel remains with her today.
Her enthusiasm for making connections between sustainable living and physical beauty led her to earn two Master's degrees at the University of California, Berkeley, in landscape architecture and city planning. After graduating, Jenna worked as an urban designer to reveal the true potential of the areas she worked on. She excelled at synthesizing the community's desires with real constraints to create plans for revitalization. This allowed her to express her passion for a greater sense of wholeness and rightness by creating beautiful places in the urban environment of Northern California.
When a close friend came to the brink of death after a motorcycle accident, Jenna awoke to an urgent need within herself. As she supported her friend and his family through his recovery, she discovered her ability to hold a huge, sacred space for people making profound spiritual choices. The stark contrast between the front lines of life-or-death reality and her regular workaday world made her recognize that she could no longer tolerate the constraints of government bureaucracies, corporate policies, a life without a greater sense of spirituality and intent, or modern society’s disregard for her sensitivity.
Despite her natural ability to create a sense of "fit" or rightness for others, Jenna had developed a strong sense that she, herself, didn't “fit.” She had learned from an early age that it wasn’t always OK to be different, sensitive, or emotional. But she now recognized that it was her own sensitivity that allowed her to uncover that deep inner rightness, to create a greater sense of wholeness, and to support others unconditionally.
So, to find a way to put her spiritual skills into daily practice, Jenna followed her inner knowing and enrolled at Coach For Life, a spiritually based life-coach training program. She then earned the designations of Certified Life Coach and Sacred Learning Environment Facilitator, through Coach For Life. Jenna is also a member of the International Coach Federation.
Since her coach training, Jenna has focused on developing her intuitive abilities, completing Psychic Pathway training with Debra Grace, and earning a certification as a Six Sensory Professional Practitioner from Sonia Choquette's program. In February 2006 she earned an Advanced Six Sensory certification, and will further her studies in 2007. Jenna continues to expand her intuitive abilities and energy skills so she can do for herself what she does for others: further refine the fit between her work and the truth of who she is as a sensitive, intuitive being.
After completing her certification, Jenna created an original coaching program, called Embrace Your Essential Self, to guide sensitive souls toward creating lives aligned with their sensitivity and the truth of their essential nature. Throughout the program, Jenna combines her innate sense of beauty, her understanding of inner fit, and her intuitive abilities to help sensitive souls find a deep place of inner rightness so they are inspired to step forward and shine.
