Welcome to Serenity Forest. We provide a safe place to instill hope and inspire healing through animals, art, nature, and intuitive counseling experiences.

Jenny Wagner LCPC CADC

Hello, I’m Jenny Wagner LCPC, CADC. I provide intuitive counseling, alternative healing, mentoring, retreats, and workshops in a beautiful natural setting. I am a trained animal communicator and provide readings with animals who are alive or in spirit.

In session I utilize a variety of energy healing techniques; Usui reiki, stone/crystal medicine, nature therapy, sensory regulation, soul art and many others to treat the body, mind, soul, and spirit.

I believe my purpose is to bring hope and healing through creativity and connection.

I hope to be a healing light along your path.

TESTIMONIALS

  • Mediumship

    Dec 2024

    I had an hour mediumship reading with Jenny today and it was absolutely amazing. She was able to connect to my dad so well that afterwards I really felt like him and I got to hang out together! The way Jenny is able to pick up on passed loved ones energy and personality is impressive. She really was able to pick up on my dad’s humor and we were all just cracking up. She was also able to help me with my past, present, and future. She was able to get messages about things that I am doing currently that I need to work on for my growth.

    She was able to give me messages on things that I should work on for my future. There was a lot of validation thrown in with her reading. She had so many spirits coming at her that she was talking so much. I also love the fact that she is just so down to earth and real. I’ve had at least 15-20 readings in my life but nobody has been able to read me as well as her.

    Thanks Jenny for sharing your amazing gift with me and making me feel all the feels today! I can’t wait for another reading!

  • Animal Communication

    “A reading with Jenny is an incredible gift! Not only is she an amazing person, with the biggest heart, and makes you feel so safe, but she’s super gifted!

    Jenny has connected a couple of times with my soulmate dog who is in Spirit, and both times she blew me away! It astounds me the messages she passes on from him, what she sees, what she receives, and shares with me from him. She not only passes on such accurate information of his personality that he shares with her, but also confirmation that he’s always around as she sees the meaningful moments that only he would know about. Ones that happened after he passed that show me he’s been watching over me, and ones that happened while we were together! Sweet memories that I always cherish.

    I know my beloved pet on the other side trusts her so much too, as she’s truly a wonderful person, as he passes on such personal messages. Both readings with her left me beaming and uplifted as I feel so grateful for the messages and experience. My cheeks hurt from smiling so much! It feels like I got to spend time with him again, laugh at his silliness, and feel so touched by his unconditional love.

    Jenny is so compassionate, sincere, and the real deal! The messages are so heartfelt and detailed, her psychic abilities are incredible! I would absolutely highly recommend her and use her services again!”

  • Animal Communication

    We’ve known Jenny Wagner, the owner for a while. As a counselor she’s compassionate and it’s clearly something to admire and her love for animals is extraordinary, so when we found out that she can visit and communicate with our pets through her we were blown away and a little skeptical.

    We have a lab who is 16+, a female cat who is 4 and we recently adopted a female kitty who is 6 months. We had so many questions, concerns and fear mostly with our old dog, we were very intrigue with our cats and how they were feeling with sharing our home and love.

    We Cannot say enough amazing things about our experience with Jenny, her ability to transmit, be spot on and convey the messages clearly was something to admired and we had a lot of fun with our reading.

    Not sure if we call her the animal whisper, animal psychic or a spirit medium but regardless of what your needs are, or where you are from, Jenny is the real thing.

    We will be using her again and we highly recommend her. Thank You Jenny!

  • Intuitive Reading

    Jenny is an awesome Intuitive Coach. The information she shared was incredibly insightful, thought-provoking and validating. She helped me look at my current situation through a new lens and offered reassurance that I was on the right path. Her delivery style was the perfect blend of relatable, gentle and humorous, which was great for broaching more difficult/emotional topics. She was professional, empathetic and made me feel at ease during our sessions together.

    It felt natural to let my guard down with her and allow myself to be vulnerable so I could get the most out of our time together. I received gold nuggets of wisdom, motivation and deep healing on a soul level. What a gift!

  • Soul Art

    “I met with Jenny to have her make an art piece for me. It was amazing how she captured me, my inner mind, after only knowing me for an hour or two. It’s a really meaningful piece that I now have hung in my room.”

    -Charlie

    Best experience here! Jenni is amazing at everything she does. She created a piece of art work for me based off my life. It was right on! I felt so safe and comfortable here. Definitely recommend serenity forest!!!!!

  • Terrarium Workshop

    I attended the Terrarium Workshop at Serenity Forest. Jenny (host) is such kind and knowledgeable leader. She provided a fancy snack spread beforehand and then brought us up to the beautiful creative space for the workshop. She gave information about how terrariums benefit a space and those in it and then provided instructions and a visual guide for reference. Brief and effective. She had attendees agree on music for the background and then we just had a good time exploring the vast selection of materials, chatting with new friends, and creating together. Jenny (host) anticipates people’s needs well. It was such an enjoyable afternoon. I will definitely go back for another class;)

  • Intuitive Counseling

    “I’ve known Jenny Wagner, the own/founder of Serenity Forest, for 10 years. She provided quite literal life saving counseling and support for me throughout my teen years, and grew to be a mentor in my later adult life. It is no exaggeration to say that my family relationships and personal mental health strides would not have been possible without her support. She is 100% the person to trust with healing and rebuilding a painful part in your life. “
