Jenna Ellis

High Performance Somatic Coach

Jenna Ellis is a High-Performance Somatic Coach who transforms how women with autoimmune conditions relate to their bodies and navigate their lives. With 17 years of lived autoimmune experience, Jenna bridges the often disconnected worlds of medical treatment and mind-body coherence.

At 21, while pursuing her graduate degree in education, Jenna was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. Doctors handed her crutches and told her she'd never run again. Her joints were locked for months at a time, and she needed hours each morning just to open her hands. What began as a devastating diagnosis became a profound journey of discovery about the body's intelligence and the nervous system's role in autoimmune conditions.

Through years of exploring the intersection of medical treatment, somatic practices, and nervous system regulation, Jenna developed her signature approach to autoimmune coherence. Today, she's in better physical condition than she was 17 years ago, a testament to the power of nervous system regulation and mind-body attunement.

As founder of Soma Soul Journeys, Jenna specializes in guiding women from symptom management to embodied self-leadership. Her 12-week intensive program and 6-month embodied program help clients understand that autoimmune conditions aren't the body attacking itself, but the body's intelligent attempt to protect and survive. Through evidence-based somatic practices, nervous system regulation, and coherence work, women learn to reclaim their relationship with their bodies as an ally rather than an enemy.

Jenna is a somatic practitioner, certified breathwork facilitator, and registered yoga teacher. Based in New York, she serves clients globally through her specialized autoimmune coherence methodology, workshops, and speaking engagements. Her work has been featured in wellness communities focused on chronic conditions and women's empowerment.

Her mission is simple yet profound: helping women with autoimmune conditions move beyond the identity of "patient" to become empowered leaders of their own lives, creating authentic success aligned with their bodies' wisdom rather than in spite of it.
