Meet Jenny
Meet Jenny, founder & creator of WildSpirits Wellness Cafe & Studio.
My parents were chefs, our love language was food.
Raised in the family restaurant business my first job at 12 years old was preparing food in the kitchen. Everything we ate growing up was freshly prepared including a diet heavily based on TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) where foods are chosen for their direct support for the energy of the body. Foods and plant medicine was the healthcare system for my grandparents before Western Medicine came into the picture. We ate food for nourishment and vitality.
Moving to London I quickly found my feet in the hospitality industry and for 18 years supported various openings and managed international lifestyle brands such as Soho House Ltd, W Hotels, Ace Hotel. The more I climbed my corporate hospitality career the more I needed yoga and meditation to balance the chaos around me and to support my mental health.
As the dedication to my practice increased it provided space for me to deeply heal the relationship I had with myself and the world. Everything changed.
I’ve since devoted myself to the study and the practice of yoga and energy healing. I’ve been blessed to study with some incredible teachers, with over 1000hrs Yoga Teacher Training, I now lean into different lineages as a source of medicine to support others on their journey.
We’ve previously opened 2 Yoga Studios and for the past 6 years offered retreats internationally allowing us to witness the beauty and magic of creating inclusive spaces for people to feel welcomed, held and nourished.
We moved to Bude as a family in Autumn 2023, within a week we knew we had found home. I started teaching yoga classes, offering Sound Healing events and started meeting my community. Ever since, we have been living in the ease and flow of life. Being a foodie the thing I noticed very quickly was the lack of unprocessed, natural and colourful foods available for the local community. Coming off the beach each day, I craved a space to sit and relax in while having something nourishing to eat.
This is how Wildspirits Wellness Cafe & Studio was born.
