Jenny Mayo

Jenny Mayo helps busy, overstressed people find more peace and joy in daily life through restorative practices: meditation and mindfulness, restorative and slow flow yoga, sound baths, Reiki and joyful dance. She describes these as practices she wishes she'd had much sooner. They helped her recover from debilitating stress, anxiety, grief and burnout, and reconnect with the calm and joy within her.

Based in Northern Virginia, in the greater Washington, DC area, Jenny teaches locally, regionally and online. Her offerings include group classes, workshops, women's retreats, private 1:1 and small-group sessions, and customized corporate wellness programs. Her corporate clients have included schools, scientific labs, governmental groups and nonprofits. She leads the Reiki Program for the Johns Hopkins/Sibley Hospital Cancer Survivorship Program, where cancer patients, survivors and caregivers learn self-Reiki.

Jenny is a lifelong dancer and longtime dance teacher. She has taught movement for more than two decades across the DC region, and her yoga practice goes back over 25 years. She completed 200-hour trainings in both meditation and vinyasa yoga, advanced restorative yoga training with Jillian Pransky, and Reiki Master Teacher training with Libby Barnett. She is pursuing a further 300-hour yoga teacher training at the Kripalu Center in Western Massachusetts, a place she credits with some of her deepest healing. She is also a lifelong writer, with many years as a local arts and entertainment journalist.
