EMPOWERING INDIVIDUALS TO EMBRACE
THEIR AUTHENTIC SELVES.
Meet the Founder
At Gioia, our vision is to create a world where every individual feels confident, supported, and empowered to be their truest self. We imagine communities where fitness, healing, and authentic presence intersect, fostering transformation not only in the body but also in the mind and spirit. Inspired by the meaning of “Gioia” — joy — we seek to expand that feeling of genuine connection so that it becomes a way of life, guiding people to move with freedom, live with balance, and embrace who they truly are.
Founded by Jenna, an official Lagree Master Trainer, Reiki Master, Sound Healing Practitioner, and lifelong mover, Gioia was born from a deeply personal story about finding joy in the present moment. Jenna’s journey — from her years as a dancer, through recovery from injuries, to her work in kinesiology, corrective exercise, and energy healing — has given her a unique perspective on what it means to cultivate strength, resilience, and presence.
Her mission through Gioia is to empower others with the education, tools, and confidence to become Lagree instructors and wellness practitioners who teach with authenticity and care. She believes that when people are supported in both their physical movement and emotional healing, they unlock the ability to transform their lives and communities.
At Gioia, we integrate, mindful movement through the Lagree method and energy work to create safe spaces where individuals can shed limiting beliefs, deepen their self-and body awareness, and discover their body’s true potential. Through this holistic approach, Jenna and the Gioia community are committed to growing a new generation of empowered instructors and clients who embody “Gioia” — living with joy, confidence, and presence.
“To live in a world where everyone feels confident and able to be themselves.”
