Jen Wenz

Rolfing® Structural Integration

(they/she)

Jen Wenz, MDiv, Certified Rolfer©, is passionate about supporting others to embody their inherent freedom, integrity, and joy. They offer Rolfing© Structural Integration to support their clients in transforming through transitions, nurturing their growth as they step into their body's innate wisdom and capacity for wholeness, connection, and ease.

Rolfing uses hands-on touch and gentle movement to work with the connective tissue (fascia)—and through it, the nervous system—to deepen connection to the body, free restrictions that limit mobility and cause pain, and find new ways to move. As we unwind and reorganize old patterns of compensation, we support the body and brain to make new connections and access more adaptive options for movement. Empowered with these new options, we can return to our natural capacity for balance, ease, and trust in ourselves as we move through the world.

Jen's approach to Rolfing is adaptable, aware, collaborative, integrative, trauma-informed, joyful, and transformational. They love to support clients in accessing the freedom that comes through a deeper felt sense of safety, support and possibility in their bodies, and particularly enjoy accompanying folks moving through perimenopause, gender transition, aging, and illness/injury recovery, especially athletes, musicians, and care/leadership professionals.

Jen is a long-time student of embodiment, fascinated by how the body works and moves. She has been an athlete, dancer, musician, and outdoor adventurer since her youth. She also brings over a decade of personal experience in generative somatics, Ashtanga yoga, Jewish contemplative, Soto Zen Buddhist, Somatic Experiencing, and Internal Family Systems practices that have shaped her formation in mindfulness, meditation, and trauma-attuned embodiment.

Outside of Rolfing, Jen loves to cook, hike, trail run, xc ski, bike, practice yoga, create ritual, dance, sing, and gather in community with her wife and family.
