About
Hey, you. Iโm Jen. ๐
I create and hold spaces for people to mindfully and playfully consider their lifeโs big questionsโฆ so that they feel more stoked about their life and who they are becoming.
I do this through my thoughtfully curated free newsletter, digestible bites of wisdom on instagram, and my private coaching, group programs, and educational workshops. I also support this mission through other entrepreneurial efforts, like Zest (a corporate wellness company I founded in 2018) and by sharing about my own personal journey of becoming - through dance, parenthood, and community.
My private coaching practice was formally born after completing 2 accredited coach training programs. But those that know me say โthis is what Jen was always meant to doโ. Iโm naturally introspective, genuinely curious about others, and am open-hearted, astute listener. Iโm always learning.
Since I was a kid, Iโve had self-help books crowding my nightstand. I care a lot about (in no particular order) mindfulness, embodiment, aliveness, growth, personal agency, consent, community, play, and pleasure.
If you care about these things too, then coaching together might be a great fit.
Iโd love to meet you! ๐
My mission is to help folks feel stoked about who they are becoming.
