Maenad?

The word maenad (may-nād) comes from the Greek maenades, meaning “mad” or “demented.” During the orgiastic rites of Dionysus, maenads roamed the mountains and forests performing frenzied, ecstatic dances and were believed to be possessed by the god.

Our work utilizes the spirit of this by rethinking societally normative attitudes and behaviors to bring previously misunderstood concepts to the forefront of robust health.

We reclaim this terminology as a way of bringing visibility and validity to folks of all mental & physical health distinctions.

Maenad Wellness is a fat positive, LGBTQIA+, kink, and polyam affirming practice.

Maenad Wellness is an ally to BIPOC folks & is intersectional feminist.

Maenad Wellness acknowledges the Munsee Lenape land it was founded upon and supports the indigenous community.

Our Founder

Our founder, Health Coach & Nutritional Chef Jason Olensky, has been obsessed with helping folks feel well for a long time. As an NBC-HWC (National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach), an ADAPT Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach, and a graduate of The Natural Gourmet Institute for Food & Health, he is well-versed in the what, the why, and most importantly the how of robust health. In these newest offerings, Maenad Wellness & Dionysian Coaching, he has deconstructed what he knows to rebuild a structure of modern wellness that adheres to no shape, size, gender, ability, or meritocratic requirements.

A letter from our Founder

Maenad Wellness has been an idea and an obsession for a decade or so, now. As a neurodivergent individual, validation and self acceptance have been personal struggles for most of my life. The peaks and valleys of my own healing journey have yielded lessons and challenges, wins and setbacks.

That said, I have also, from a very young age, had an inalienable sense of self. Product of an unstable childhood, I grew to be self reliant and learned to turn inward when seeking the solution to many of life’s issues. As many economically insecure youth who “make it out” do, I became quite self absorbed; driven to survive and thrive, and to defy my programming.

My journey has taken me through the classroom, the kitchen, diligent autodidactism, deep self exploration, and finally to this period of my life where I have come to understand that not only a strong love of self, but a strong sense of love and connection to fellow humans of all incarnations is pivotal to our health and development.

Our world has shifted so far away from community and togetherness, especially in recent years, and we are seeing the unfavorable outcomes play out in a micro and macro sense, daily. We are quickly becoming individualist, compartmentalized, disconnected. We are forgetting the sense of human connection that has driven our culture since its inception.

Enter, Maenad Wellness. An idea, really, that we are still collective. That we can embrace the things some once held as different or taboo, and that in so doing, we reclaim our humanity. That intentionally engaging in these things; self-acceptance, consciousness expansion, sexuality, robust sustenance, movement, priority of rest; we become MORE human, and closer to what we have classically perceived as “divine” than we as a race have ever been.

We say “we” are Maenad not only to symbolize the togetherness of folks that have worked and will work on and benefit from this idea in the coming years, but all that the mission and offerings of this idea can bring to us, proletariat. I have spent so much personal capital and effort researching the aspects of health put forth here. Not only in an academic sense, but in a sense of daily, personal trials. I truly hope you will engage with us for this new era of human health. It is my sincere hope that Maenad Wellness and Dionysian Coaching will be a new chapter for you as much as they have been for me.
