Hello!

I am so grateful you are here. My name is Jenny McGrath (she/her) MACP, LMHC. I am a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner and Certified Yoga Teacher.

I am a licensed mental health counselor, a somatic psychotherapist, and a movement educator specializing in religious trauma and sexual abuse. 

I believe in the power of story and the wisdom of the body.

After growing up in fundamentalist Christianity at the height of purity Culture, I moved to Northern Uganda to become a missionary at the age of 19. Detangling from that world, I’ve dedicated my labor to deconstructing and researching the impacts of Christian supremacy and religious dogma on bodies and communities. I am a member of the Purity Culture Research Collective. I believe it is necessary to focus on social justice while we heal our bodies, and see the pursuit of healing as an essential partnership between our individual body and collective bodies.

I facilitate each of my offerings from an LGBTQIA+ affirming and anti-racist stance. I honor all bodies, sizes, abilities, religious or non-religious affiliation, and all other identities. I encourage and challenge students and participants to recognize that, as Lilla Watson states “our liberation is bound together.” This community of brave, defiant people has continued to challenge and inspire me in my own journey of liberation. I look forward to learning more about your embodied story as we grow together!

Find connection. Understand our entanglements.

Learn story. Live a meaningful one.

Explore movement. Experience your body from the inside out.
