Jenna Walenga

Jenna Walenga is a somatic coach, yoga teacher, and mother based in Bellingham, Washington. She works with women through pregnancy, birth, and the long unraveling of early motherhood. She doesn't come to it as a birth expert, but as someone who has spent years learning how to be with herself through challenge, and who now helps other mothers do the same. We talk so much about the rules of pregnancy, birth, and motherhood. What you should do, but very little attention is given to how challenging that work can be. We are not taught how to be with your own inner child while caring for your new little one. That is the heart of Jenna's meditations. They are built to return you to the part of you that already knows how to do this, the steady, unhurried part underneath the noise. She calls you back to your own wisdom and offers you the lantern to carry you through. Jenna teaches prenatal yoga and empowered birth skills, leads circles with women moving through this exact season, and is dedicated to changing the experience of motherhood in the world. In her private practice, she works one-on-one with mothers on nervous system regulation, somatic experiencing, self-compassion, and coming home to themselves.
