RECREATION
with
Purpose & Profession...
Tends to be one of the parts of life we would like to balance with
passion & past times...
Yet sometimes it can feel impossible.
Let this work support you in finding ways living in alignment with what you are passionate about... now. I'm not saying you have to quit your job to turn your passion into your profession (although you definitely can) but I am saying that at the end of our life, we tend to never wish we had 'worked more' (unless we felt really on purpose) and instead wish we had focused more on what makes us feel alive ~ and our recreational activities are often all we have left to focus on.
While You're Here
These are self-paced offerings that help you explore, experience & expand
your relationship with this natural part of being human.
Your pace. Your presence. Your possibilities.
If along the way you decide you'd like some personalised support...

As a nature-based Recreational Therapy Practioner and devoted
lover of being outdoors...
I am always looking for opportunities to connect with the natural world we are a part of & help others do the same. When we are exploring our mortality, nature can be one of our greatest teachers ~ reminding us there are seasons, cycles, endings as well as beginnings that we belong to & are reflected in both our life and death.
Would you like to get to know me better?
Recreation has been a vital part of both my personal & professional life.
It became even more important as I began companioning the dying.
Why?
Because I realised...
The dying don't regret the fun, passion & recreational experiences they had.
They don't regret the time spent with family, friends & doing things they loved.
They regret...
Working too much. Not bringing their profession in alignment with purpose & passion.
Spending more time with professional colleagues than their personal circle of care.
I also witnessed how difficult it was for the dying to enjoy recreational activities
because they lacked 'purpose' or 'productivity'.
Yet, it tends to be one of the few experiences available and accessible to us at the end.
I am dedicated to helping people find that fun is fundamental to being human...
and that our relevance is not reliant on what we accumulate or produce.
It is the time we invested in care ~ for ourselves, our loved ones & the world we are part of.
This is what truly matters.
I understand that it's a big decision to choose to work with someone...
especially around the intimate and sometimes intimidating parts of being human.
If you'd like to get to know me better before trying my offerings ~ explore my podcast.
You can listen to me in conversation with people around the world who are prioritising their passions on a personal & professional level to make their recreations something that re~create their world now & beyond their lifetime.
The official definition is as follows...
Recreational therapy or therapeutic recreation is a systematic process that utilises recreation, leisure, and other activities as interventions to address the assessed needs of individuals with illnesses and/or disabling conditions, as a means to psychological and physical health, recovery and well-being.
Here it is in "Jen" speak...
Recreation Therapy is about doing an activity while being exactly as you are.
Whether you need to talk it out & have good cry or you just need to move your body & not talk at all ~ that's perfect.
Whether you're into knitting hats for penguins or scuba diving ship wrecks... it's about giving yourself permission to play.
When we play, we heal.
Naturally
Simple as that.
Whether you have a terminal illness, disabling condition or you appear 'well' but simply don't feel 'right'... I've got you.
Let's experience some leisure with purpose together for your mental, physical, emotional and spiritual well~being.
Recreation is one of my four fundamental natural tools for navigating change.
Let's explore together...
