The Power of Gesture with Jen Aks

Hello, hello!


Sometimes in life your path leads you to a truly special person and your perspective shifts and you are changed. Call it kismet, call it synchronistic, whatever the reason, you are drawn to them (perhaps lurking on their social media for a little while), and you know you MUST learn more about them.


Jen Aks ignited something in me. She made me think about my body and the way we move and rethink what is possible for humankind.

Jen Aks, Story Producer, Embodiment/Mindset Coach & Speaker combines her 30+ years of movement training, teaching, speaking and directing to create “The Power of Gesture” — an accessible movement practice that connects human stories to our truth and celebrates individual and collective expression.

Jen coaches 1:1, leads workshops and has produced hundreds of mini documentaries representing stories of resilience. Jen’s body of work is meant to shift the mindset of humanity, one story at a time by reminding us of who we are and why we are here

Listen in to hear more about Jen’s mission to shift the mindset of humanity one story at a time
