Our Story

At Roots of Resilience, we believe finding support for you and your little one doesn’t have to be complicated and should be accessible to all. Our founder, Jenna, drawing from her extensive experience in developmental and behavioral services, identified a significant gap and a profound lack of access to reliable, science-backed information and vital resources to navigate one of the most important periods in a child and family’s life. In response, she founded Roots of Resilience - an essential platform designed for parents and professionals to learn more about the importance and practical application of development and relational health in the early years. We bring necessary information to you when you need it the most.

Because information is power.

She has dedicated her life to bringing smiles wherever she goes. When she isn’t watching her mom work, she enjoys swimming, trail running, retrieving balls, and chasing her tail. She also is an astute observer of the world, staring out the window for hours on end.
