“Water does all the work. Surrender and the body tells you what to do. The water is so gentle, forgiving and loving it allows easy release.”
~Kevin English

Jen Boyak
Water has always been an important part of Jen's life. Growing up on the Great Lakes of Michigan, she remembers jumping into the pool as a very young child, followed later by competitive swimming, kayaking, and sailing. Added to this are years of dance, creative movement, teaching yoga, and healing work. She loves to share joy, stillness, playfulness, a sense of freedom and healing in the dance of aquatic bodywork. She guides each person into their own individual exploration and experience.
Jen first discovered aquatic bodywork in Tulum, Mexico while living there in 2013. She took her first courses in Janzu in a natural lagoon with Richard Dionne and Maria Ornelas. She then continued her studies at Quiet Healing Center and Magic Waters in India during 2017 and 2018, studying Watsu with Gianni DiStefani, Healing Dance with Ashaman Grey and WaterDance (WATA) with its founder, Arjana C. Brunschwiler. Her studies total over 500 hours and she is a certified Healing Dance practitioner with the Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association.
Some specialties she has studied are aquatic bodywork for babies, pregnant people and couples, and an adapted form for people with disabilities.
