Meet Jean Trewhella — Founder & Facilitator
Since founding Insights Studio in 2020, Jean Trewhella has been at its heart, cultivating a refuge where movement becomes a path to healing and self-discovery.
As both the visionary owner and a dedicated facilitator, Jean infuses the studio with warmth and a deeply personal approach, ensuring everyone who enters the space is met with a nurturing atmosphere of boundless love and acceptance.
Jean's own narrative, woven through personal trials such as overcoming loss, addiction, abuse, and thriving in a demanding corporate environment, infuses her with profound compassion and understanding, allowing her to celebrate each individual and nurture a community where judgment is replaced with support.
At Insights Studio, Jean's immersive JourneyDance™ and Ecstatic Dance classes are gateways to transformative growth and inner healing, leveraging the restorative nature of movement and rhythm.
Jean’s diverse background, spanning the logical precision of physics to a rich tapestry of spiritual experiences, underscores her belief in the stabilizing force of conscious dance.
Her openness to spiritual energies guides her commitment to establishing an inclusive and affirming environment where every person is recognized and their presence valued.
With open arms, she eagerly anticipates the privilege of guiding others in discovering the transformative joys of dance within the welcoming embrace of the Insights Studio community.
Jean's enchantment with the liberating power of dance began during her physics studies at Antioch College, where the synergy of physical motion, spirituality, and emotional liberation through dance and music first captivated her.
This passion blossomed through diverse explorations in improvisational dance, performance art, modern dance, and profound modalities such as Authentic Movement.
This rich, eclectic evolution of her dance journey crystallized with JourneyDance™, culminating in her certification as a facilitator in 2018, a role she cherishes as she guides others along their transformative paths.

“Jean is a powerful JourneyDance™ facilitator. Her songs and guidance help to elicit emotions that are allowed to flow without becoming overwhelming. Her song choices are always unique and highly danceable. Jean’s classes are a soul and body workout! After class, my body feels light and free.” — A.L.
“A whole other universe is available through embodiment, and Jean has created the perfect sacred container to rediscover, unlock, and explore this! I've been coming consistently for over a year and can barely remember that version of me that was so afraid to move, let alone dance in front of people. Now, my biggest dilemma is making sure I don't knock people over as I freely move and flow to the music throughout the room. My favorite is ecstatic dance, but I have attended and completely enjoyed any and all the various high-quality offerings here.” — T.S.
From Loss to Purpose: The Heart Behind Insights Studio
Insights Studio was born from grief — an aching loss that reshaped my world and set me on a path I never expected.
When I lost my child, Tai, to suicide, the pain was immeasurable.
In the midst of that sorrow, a deep longing emerged — a need to create something meaningful, a space where others wouldn’t have to feel the same isolation and struggle that Tai did.
Tai was an artist, a beautiful soul who expressed so much through creativity. That’s why art, movement, and self-expression are at the core of Insights Studio.
This space is my way of honoring Tai’s spirit, ensuring that others — parents, children, and anyone feeling lost — have a place to be seen, to be accepted, and to find healing through creative exploration.
Here, you don’t have to be anything other than who you are. You are welcome. You are valued. You belong.
