A former teacher-librarian, she brings her passion for learning and curiosity to every retreat, workshop, and art project she facilitates.

She currently works as an outdoor guide at Kripalu Yoga & Wellness, leading hikes, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding, and also facilitates programs at Canyon Ranch in the Berkshires, creating engaging, restorative experiences that blend movement, mindfulness, and nature. Her intention is to hold space and create a fun, curious, and adventurous container for all the retreats she facilitates, as well as her art workshops and commissioned projects.

An avid traveler, Jennifer has explored Morocco, Portugal, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and beyond, continually seeking inspiration and new ways to connect with the world. She integrates her love of nature into all her art, inviting participants and clients to experience beauty, creativity, and presence in every piece.

Jennifer is also a proud mom to four adult children and thrives on wellness, wonder, and staying open to all the possibilities this beautiful journey of life has to offer.

Our Story

Wild Bloom was born from Jennifer’s deep love of nature and the quiet knowing that the natural world holds a way of bringing us back to ourselves. Along the shoreline, beneath tall trees, and under open skies, Wild Bloom celebrates the soulful ways women gather, create, wander, and grow.

Jennifer is the co-founder of Reconnect Wellness and Reset by the Sea, and a longtime entrepreneur in the art and nature space. For years she has been creating experiences that invite people to slow down and rediscover wonder, through color, water, movement, and the simple act of being outside. From kayaking along quiet waterways to painting intuitively, from walking forest paths to watching the sun sink into the ocean, Jenn guides people back to the beauty that surrounds them and the creativity that lives within them.

After building and selling two successful businesses, Jenn felt called to create something even more aligned with what has always inspired her most: nature, art, adventure, and meaningful connection. Wild Bloom is the unfolding of that vision.

From coaching sessions to nature walks, art workshops to retreats by the sea, Wild Bloom is a space rooted in compassion, kindness, and the quiet wonder of what is possible. It is a place where creativity is welcomed without judgment, curiosity leads the way, and women are invited to reconnect with themselves, one another, and the natural world.

As the poet Mary Oliver so beautifully asks:
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”

At Wild Bloom, that question becomes an invitation—to explore, to create, to breathe deeply, and to let something new begin to bloom.

Wild Bloom is a collective of guides that offer create and design beautiful workshops and experiences during your time with us. As a small business owner Wild Bloom partners with local small business owners to weave in the local experience we want to share with our guests.
