My guest today is Jenevieve Louise Pluhowski. Jenevieve has her own skin care business, is a gifted yoga teacher (on the mat and in the hammocks), is a certified doula and fills in when needed with her husband’s catering business. Jenna was 33 weeks pregnant when we recorded this conversation so she is now very close to delivering her son, which she plans to do through a home birth. Jenna studied to become an esthetician in her high school BOCES program for cosmetology, then later went to the International Dermal Institute, and worked for different spas, before opening up her own business, 8 years ago, specializing in facials. Jenevieve’s parents both practiced transcendental meditation, so since she was a child, Jenna had a strong meditation practice. Her meditation practice served her well, particularly when she and one of her sisters were arrested in Nebraska for marijauna possession and sentenced to 2 years in prison. Jenevieve openly talks about how this disturbing experience changed her life, opened her eyes into a world that she knew so little of. It was in prison that Jenevieve learned of the transformative work of James Fox, who started bringing yoga into the San Quentin prison 25 years ago. Jenevieve understood the healing power of yoga so once released, she immersed herself in a yoga teacher training, as well as trauma-informed, mindfulness-based yoga. Check out the show notes below for links to Jenevieve’s Facebook and Instagram accounts, and to sign up for any of your skin care needs. Look for the wonderful yoga and aerial classes she will soon be teaching again at Soul Flyte, here in Nyack, NY. Join me in sending Jenevieve and her husband Julian, blessings for a lovingly supportive home birth delivery of their healthy son! Enjoy the podcast!
