Jennell has consulted to *Fortune 500’s to nonprofits, and knows first hand how work-related stress can impact individuals, teams, executives and entire work cultures. After experiencing a serious health scare in early 2007, Jennell completed a meditation program and began a daily practice. With no medical explanation for her health issue, Jennell knew that stress was the root cause, and practicing meditation was one of the most effective ways she could proactively manage it.

She specializes in teaching workplace leaders how to de-stress, maintain focus, and become even more present and resilient in their lives, while having a positive impact on their employees and their organization’s culture.
