About Jenny
Jenny is an experienced soft tissue practitioner and educator. She has a wealth of knowledge and passionately shares her skills and wisdom in manual therapy in her courses, both online and in-person. She is the creator of ElderHeal therapies for aged care and the founder of The Jenny Eleni Soma Method – the bodywork branch of the healing world of Jenny Eleni Health.
These methods arise from 20+ years in manual therapy, healing, self-inquiry, courses, learning from mentors, researchers, scientists, and treating many clients all over the world.
The beginning
Studying Thai Massage in Thailand was the catalyst for a life-long journey, finding her calling in the healing arts. Soon after Jenny studied Remedial Massage and then Bowen Therapy in Melbourne, forging the way for more courses and study over the years. It was after studying the more gentle, auto-regulatory soft tissue Bowen method that set a trajectory in bodywork that was subtle yet powerful, tactile yet energetic.Â
For the next several years, Jenny focused on this method which was the spring board in the creation of an online modular course called The Biology of Bowen, a science-approach to understanding the mechanisms of the technique via fascia science..
Where science & spirituality meet.
In recent years, after living in various parts of the world such as Brazil, Argentina and Spain, Jenny is gently being guided to follow her heart and spiritual calling in a new way–authentic and aligned way– in bringing all these experiences, training, approaches, wisdom, life experience and natural healing & teaching ability into one method: The Jenny Eleni Soma Method. Where science meets soul; where grounded approach merges with Energy medicine; where the heart intuits and the hands speak. This is the essence of her method: Teaching touch as the medicine.
A very soft launch for Jenny Eleni Soma has begun with small, intimate workshops in a private residence for The Soma Series (short courses).
