Jenny Lorant Grouf and I grew up in the same hometown of Highland Park, IL. Through mutual friends, we’ve heard about one another for quite some time. It took the shooting at the July 4th parade in our town to finally bring us together. And everyone listening to this podcast knows, timing is always divine.

People within our community quickly came together to figure out how to support and help one another heal, and while Jenny now lives in California, she quickly jumped in to see what resources and guidance she could offer.

During that time, I learned that for nearly 20 years Jenny has blended Eastern and Western healing philosophies and techniques to nurture, heal, and empower women. Through biodynamic craniosacral therapy, bodywork, massage therapy and education, she guides women in all stages of life.

Each session with Jenny brings her understanding of structural anatomy, physiology, the workings of the nervous system and various layers of your metaphysical makeup. She approaches the body as a whole and honors that every aspect is interconnected - body, heart, mind and spirit.

Jenny believes that we are constantly receiving messages from our bodies about our wellbeing or lack thereof. When we pay attention, we become facilitators in our own healing process. She is able to help you to access the messages that your body is communicating.

You'll learn all about each aspect of her work and how it can help you release the buildup of trauma stored in your body. Plus we discuss Shiatsu, Ayurveda and other practices that you can incorporate into your life.
