I’m Jen, the creator of soulnotskin. With over 25 years of experience across education, counseling, graphic design, and stand-up comedy, I hold an M.Ed. in Instructional Design and a certification as a substance use disorder counselor (SUDCC).

My mission was sparked while teaching inside a county jail, where a student told me that when he went home, there was no room for the healed person he was trying to become. Today, I bring that crucial education out into the community.

By bridging biology, psychology, and spirituality, I help you understand your own behavior patterns—and the actions of loved ones navigating addiction or incarceration. Grounded in both professional expertise and lived experience with recovery and loss, my work is about sharing our stories without blame, healing from childhood adversity (ACEs), and stepping into who we were truly meant to be.
