I am a body psychology practitioner and illustrator working with Bodynamic informed approaches to understanding how psychological patterns are held and expressed through the body. My work is curious, grounded, and relational, with a focus on helping people develop a clearer, more supportive relationship with their bodily experience.

I am currently training in somatic psychotherapy and work under supervision. My work supports body awareness, regulation, and developmental understanding.

Alongside this, I have a background in personal training and movement education, which continues to shape how I understand strength, effort, support, and physical presence in everyday life.

How I work

My approach is informed by Bodynamic theory, a body oriented psychological model that understands muscles as carrying psychological functions that develop across early life stages. This gives me a way of working with the body that is practical and specific,

I work within the scope of my training and under regular supervision. Sessions are paced, collaborative, and responsive. We work with what is present, at a speed that feels manageable.

Illustration, writing, and visual work

Alongside my practice, I create illustrations and written material that explore body psychology and therapy theory in visual, accessible ways. I am the author of Cartooning Teen Stories, a book about using drawing and visual storytelling with young people, and I illustrated Self Care for the Caregiver by Hadi Bahlawan Marcher and Kristina V Marcher.

My ongoing illustration work, jennydrewsomething, is a space for visual thinking, theory, and reflection. This work is used by individuals, practitioners, and educators, and often supports learning and supervision contexts.

Background

My professional background includes body based psychology, personal training, creative practice, and work within alternative education settings, particularly with neurodivergent young people and adults. Personal training is no longer the focus of my work, but it remains an important foundation for how I understand the body as something lived, working, and responsive rather than abstract.

What matters to me

I value clarity and respect for individual experience. I am interested in building understanding and capacity over time rather than offering quick fixes or techniques.
