Welcome, I'm Jenna.
A“human evolution midwife”.

Fuelled by a heart bursting with empathy, I’m here for your transformation.
I work in leadership development and the arts.
I’m a certified regenerative leadership and creativity coach working with executives, entrepreneurs, change makers, pioneers and creative professionals.

and lovingly, step-by-step ...

Ways to Work With Me
I work with individuals, groups, teams and organisations.
I am:
a Scottish migrant woman transformed by Wangerriburra Country in Gold Coast Hinterland in Australia, where I live.
fascinated by the intersections of art + science and creativity + leadership
married to my Argentinian husband, José
in awe of this cosmos, planet and the natural world
And I used to be:
an award-winning chemical engineer and leader in the energy sector
an opera singer and arts executive
a doctoral candidate
divorced
burned out…four times
disconnected from myself and the planet
Sometimes my ability to let go says more about me than anything else.
But there’s more beyond the doing. My being.
My deep curiosity and fluency amongst the vulnerable and uncertain.
I bring a heart-opening, otherworldly and transformational presence that I bring to all I do.
I centre vulnerability and courage in how I show up in the world. With a good splash of cheekiness.
I'd love to walk with you on your journey.

“Jenna has piercing ability to “see” people. I found it easy to be open with her about difficult topics.
Yet, just when we’ve explored the depths of my emotions about something, she’ll come out with something hilarious and we will share a good laugh.
Through her faith in me and her enthusiasm for growth, Jenna helped me to explore what was holding me back and be bolder in my approach to my career.
I always walk away from our discussions feeling inspired and uplifted.”
Bryan Mitisek
Executive Business Leader and Producer, UK
“I have worked with many extraordinary coaches, healers and mentors over several years of doing ‘the work’.
Jenna is one of those people I have to acknowledge for helping me find my voice and express it more fully in the world.
Her exquisite listening, reflection and prompting is simple, but incredibly powerful. Her ability to hold space is difficult to describe but nourishing to experience.
Jenna is incredibly professional, kind and committed to supporting you to become the best version of yourself you are meant to be.”
Francis Italiano
Chief Creative Officer and Co-Artistic Director Sensorium Theatre, WA, Australia
“I said yes to working with Jenna after hearing her speak at a conference when I was struggling with burnout.
I was struck by her systemically logical premises, emotionally intelligent framing and creative approaches to leadership challenges.
The biggest change in working with Jenna is such an empowering sense of self-acceptance. I feel more able to celebrate who I am in a way that liberates me from validation outside of myself. I am more considered in interactions with others. I feel clearer in my intentions and my ways of expressing them.
Coaching with Jenna in three words: Explorative, Intuitive, Empowering.”

Global Sustainability Leader, NSW, Australia
“When I first connected with Jenna, I was leaving old environments and patterns behind. I had left my main job, and was entering into a reflection period.
In our first session, I felt excited and keen. I felt Jenna could really see me and the patterns deeply underneath.
The biggest change in working with Jenna was unlocking more energy and focus on the positive, dreaming side of myself, and less on negative things that had happened to me and trying to fix.

“When I started with Jenna, I was struggling with career direction and communicating clearly at work.
I felt comfortable in our initial call. It’s how deeply she listened and how acutely tuned in she is to energies.
Every session I’ve had with Jenna has expanded my consciousness a little bit more.
I feel more certain about possibilities and more confident in trusting myself to explore those, or not.
Jenna has an ability to stretch your mind in a way that feels gentle and transformative. She reminds you what your soul knows but your ego covers.
Coaching with Jenna in three words:
Whole, Held, Forward.”
Dr Anthony Garcia

“Jenna brings a delightfully inspiring, otherworldly approach to her speaking engagements.
She draws audiences into the deeper realms of creative practice; gently opening minds to universal principles that support artistic flourishing, creative wellbeing and personal growth.”
Julia Hill
Violinist and Creative, Australia/Japan
“Jenna held a safe, encouraging space where I could break the mould of traditional conservatorium training and feel confident to try something I’ve never done before.
She supported me to turn my insane ideas into a tangible product – a show I could share with others!!
The biggest change in working with Jenna has been letting go of what the institution expects of me and focussing on what I want to do as a creative.
I feel more freedom and fun in the creative process and in day-to-day life.
Working with Jenna is Expanding, Holistic and Freeing.”
Daniel Shearer
Cellist, Australia/UK
“When I started coaching with Jenna I was struggling with my inner dialogue blocking my creative output in the show I was making.
The best change that I’ve witnessed is the way I’ve been treating myself. Through Jenna, I became more learned in the ‘School of Dan’, exploring my inner dialogues and learning how to converse with them in a net positive way.
This is manifesting in the open and positive mind I’ve had leading up to performances, and the way I treat myself after them; actually enjoying the whole thing.
Coaching with Jenna is Life-affirming, Courageous and Loving.”
Claudia Fitzpatrick
Visual Artist, SA, Australia
“When we first connected, I was putting my first solo art exhibition together and was stuck on articulating ideas and vision.
I said yes to coaching when I recognised Jenna’s understanding and empathy for the artistic process is very developed.
She helped me unravel the confusion I struggled with for a long time. I loved her focused intention and her compassion. I now feel more confident as an artist with the tools and ability to express my gifts, rather than hiding them.
Jenna is a gift to the world!”
Kuweni Dias Mendis
Multidisciplinary Artist, Australia/Sri Lanka
“When I recently returned to work with Jenna I was wanting to move from being a starving artist to an abundant artist.
I didn’t know my worth or what I was bringing to the table. Others in my life have noticed my clarity and have said I am unstoppable.
The biggest change I’ve witnessed in myself was trusting myself and my own wisdom. I love how Jenna sees what I don’t see and how her deep listening presence allows me to hear my own intuition.
Coaching with Jenna in three words: True to Self.”
Kuweni Dias Mendis
Multidisciplinary Artist, Australia/Sri Lanka
“During my time with Jenna, I successfully transitioned from a corporate job, where I was trying to fit in, to an independent multidisciplinary artist feeling I belong in the arts world.
Jenna understood my world view, perspective and values so well and, in her words, “was a mirror” that reflected my practice ecology and elevated it so I was in service.
In our time together she also helped me with strategic project planning, grant scoping, grant writing, budgets, developing a practice ecology and succinct communication.”

“When I first connected with Jenna I wanted to make decisions around my living situation, work and future.
I had never worked with a coach before. Jenna made the experience very comfortable and easy.
By the end of the first session, I felt I could get clarity about what I wanted, take action and make decisions from there. I felt very stuck before that.
The biggest change I have experienced during my time with Jenna is making decisions based on my values and clarity on my path going forward. That is huge for me.
Coaching with Jenna is Insightful, Awakening and Confidence Building”
Sarah Woodward
CEO and Founder, Hocus Pocus Pictures, Australia
“Before the course, I was seeking confirmation I’m on the right path with my career and how to achieve my goals.
After the first live session, I was energised. I’ve realised there are so many levels of consciousness and understanding within any structured work environment (even everyday life).
I am now able to adjust my expectations and be more open-eyed when dealing with people.

Eva-Marie Perissinotto

“When I said yes to Creative Change Makers, I had no idea it would be life- changing, completely transforming the way I see myself.
I now have the words to describe my artistic vision and the confidence to present them without artifice but in a raw honesty.
I’ve had new collaborators respond with enthusiasm because I am able to tap into what is compelling about my vision and can clearly articulate the type of working relationships I want.

“I truly feel that I gained both personally and professionally from the group session.
Jenna’s challenging questions and the insights that came through have got me to review where my focus should be.”
Olivera Stojkoski
FCM Travel Team Leader, Perth, Australia
“Jenna ran such an amazing session with the team leaders. There was laughter, emotion, honesty and I learned things about the other leaders that I never knew before, even about myself.
Jenna was so engaging, and I loved how she addressed us with our names and added her notes. She really personalised the session for us. I am going to incorporate her questions with my team so I can discover more about the people I work with.”
Luke Davies
Operations Team Leader, FCM Travel, Perth, Australia
“Working with Jenna in a recent planning day and being a new member of my Team Leader group, she helped me, and my peers break down barriers and allowed for non-judgmental vulnerability.
We laughed, shared healthy tears, and grew closer as a peer group because of it.
Jenna allowed us to pause and take stock of who we are as human beings and reflect on the most important thing in life, ourselves.”
Jye Lewis
Team Leader, FCM Travel, Perth, Australia
“Jenna led the group through reflective, open and honest questions and mediated in a way that was present but peripheral.
I feel the group learned a lot about each other and found some questions in themselves.
We are a closer, more open peer group because of Jenna.”
Emma Nightingale
Soprano, Director, Writer, Australia
“I had never worked with a coach before, but I knew I needed to work with Jenna.
It’s hard to overstate how life- changing my sessions with Jenna have been. I went from having a small voice saying “I’d love to write an opera”, to fully owning my creative leadership.
I stepped into a version of myself that I have been waiting to become for so long. I realised I am much more creative than I ever thought.
My career is slowly developing into a rich, multi-disciplinary practice. My inner world is more aware, awake, and curious.
Coaching with Jenna is Empowering, Life-changing and Expansive.”

“Before we started, there were some nerves. There were areas in my craft where I needed to fill the blanks.
I found the live sessions inspiring. I think it was amazing how Jenna was able to shift the course by listening to her participants’ needs.
She also had a way of intuitively sensing what people were perhaps not saying, but definitely wanting.
By the end of the program, it was mentioned that I sound very clear… and confident!
Creative Change Makers in three words: Connect, Grow, Accountability.”
Emma Dean
Acclaimed Musician, Coach, Choir Director, QLD, Australia
“When I started coaching with Jenna I knew my career needed to change.
From day one I felt a rapport with her. I felt safe, supported and heard. I felt FIZZY.
During our time together, I practiced ‘letting go’ of needing to do things the ‘music industry’ way, a genuine excitement for a change in career priorities and a slowing down.
I loved that Jenna flowed with me, yet held me accountable to what I said I would do. I felt truly motivated as a result.
Jenna is a NEXT LEVEL mentor and coach who helped me to step into my evolution.”

“When I connected with Jenna I was struggling with relationship breakdown, unhappiness with my lifestyle and uncertainty on my career direction.
I started with Jenna because I realised I had spent so much time supporting others through their difficulties that I had ignored mine.
The biggest change in working with Jenna has been a belief that I can forge my own path, that has helped me make positive changes to my behaviours and driven action around my relationship separation.
Coaching with Jenna is Useful, Enjoyable and Enlightening.”
Daniel Shearer
Cellist, Australia
“When we began, I was nervous for the live group session, but I soon felt confident to speak up and Jenna made it feel smooth.
I became super enthused with what I was learning and passionate about brainstorming ideas with friends, who commented on my change of confidence.
The biggest change in myself is the empowerment I feel. Strangely a lecture about budgeting and grant writing was all the therapy I needed for self-confidence in my music career.
Creative Change Makers in three words: Empowering, Inspiring, Warm”
Yara Bou Karam
Singer, Pianist, Digital Designer, Australia
“When I started with Jenna, I was doubting my artistic identity and felt confused. I was in a transitional stage of my musical career. I was finding it difficult to integrate my skills into one cohesive aesthetic identity.
In our first session, I felt comfortable and like the universe helped us to connect. Jenna inspired me.
I witnessed my respect for my culture grow and Jenna helped to make me closer to my culture, musically and artistically.
Coaching with Jenna is Inspiring, Structured, Reflective, Fruitful, Eye-Opening.”
Emma Nightingale
Soprano, Director, Writer, QLD, Australia
“I said yes to Creative Change Makers because of Jenna’s amazing knowledge!
The way she co-created the course by listening to us made me feel like it wasn’t just something she created for the sake of it, but something that held so much value for all of us.
The vision map activity was the most valuable for me; seeing all my previous experiences and how they have shaped who I am now was really eye opening.
Creative Change Makers in three words: Bold, Informative, Life- changing.”
Hannah Lee Tungate
Founder and Creative Producer Tenth Muse Initiative, Austalia
“The biggest change I’ve witnessed in myself from Creative Change Makers is confidence. Confidence that other people do want to get behind my ideas.
It has manifested in a way that ideas are pouring out of my brain and I feel more capable to approach others to get them on board.
Some have said I have more clarity in what I’m aiming for and I’m more put together in general.

“When I connected with Jenna, I was unclear of my trajectory and balancing career and relationships.
By the end of the first session, I felt focused. I feel, in myself, a massive shift. It’s been great to have somebody to steer the messy thoughts.
The biggest thing was having someone I could share all my thoughts, opinions and struggles with and know it was a safe space. I had my heart cracked open and was able to find a different part of myself.
Coaching with Jenna in three words: Open, Real, Seen.”
Elijah Semaan
Health + Wellness Entrepreneur, QLD, Australia
“When I started with Jenna, I was close to burnout and lacked clarity about my direction and purpose.
During our time together, my relationship with myself and others deepened. I gained a greater understanding of who I am.
My mindset changed dramatically, which led to improved clarity, direction and a dramatic change in my work. I created a vision for my new business in alignment with my values. It gives me an incredible sense of purpose.
Coaching with Jenna is Life-changing, Euphoric and Amazing!”
