A visionary educator, somatic facilitator, and author of Awakening the Village Within, Jennifer Jeffcoat has spent over 30 years supporting families, educators, and birth workers in reclaiming the wisdom of connection. Her work arises at the intersection of child-led learning, pre & perinatal psychology, and village restoration, offering a pathway for healing the roots of disconnection through body, story, and presence.
Jennifer is passionate about creating child-led learning villages—environments where children are trusted to lead their own developmental journey, and adults are supported in tending to the echoes of their own childhood. Her approach brings together nervous system integration, ancestral healing, and compassionate education as foundations for both parenting and teaching.
Whether guiding parents through the challenges of early childhood, mentoring educators, or speaking to communities across the country, Jennifer’s message is clear: healing begins with presence, and thriving begins with connection. Her work invites us to not only raise children—but to raise a new culture rooted in wholeness, remembrance, and belonging.

Holding Space
Holding Space is a sacred act of remembrance—an invitation to return to the wisdom of our ancestors and the intelligence of the body. In this space, we heal, reweave the village, and walk the parenting path as a spiritual journey rooted in connection, reverence, and trust.
Speaking
Through motivational speaking and embodied storytelling, I guide audiences to awaken their inner strength, reconnect with purpose, and reclaim their voice. Grounded in spiritual human development and lived wisdom, I inspire transformation rooted in presence, truth, and belonging.
Consulting
As a Child-Led Learning Consultant, I support families and educators in creating rhythm-based, emotionally attuned environments that nurture curiosity and sovereignty. I return learning to the hands of the child, the heart of the village, and the soul of the Earth.
Mentoring
Through village wisdom, somatic-based parent education, I assist caregivers understand their child’s inner world while exploring their own. Together, we unlearn societal conditioning, reconnect to intuition, and raise children rooted in connection, trust, and authenticity.
Where Stories Reclaim the Village
The Parenting Ashram Podcast is a sanctuary for real, unfiltered stories from parents, caregivers, and wisdom keepers reclaiming the heart of parenting. Rooted in the belief that storytelling heals and community transforms, each episode invites listeners into sacred conversations about birth, childhood, identity, and the journey of raising whole humans in a fragmented world.
Through ancestral remembrance, somatic insight, and radical honesty, we explore what it means to parent with presence, to grieve what we’ve lost, and to reimagine family and education through the lens of connection, rhythm, and village.
Rooted in Connection, Guided by Wisdom
This space is where my heart's work lives. Each project is a living thread woven from ancestral remembrance, somatic practice, and the deep call to re-village our ways of being, parenting, and learning. These offerings invite you to gather, grow, and return to what matters most.
