What is Wellness?
Wellness is about resiliency. Imagine your life is like a river. Are you flowing along being beaten up from hitting the rocks? Resiliency is about having the tools necessary to navigate the river in such a way that you can manage the rocks and be more in control of your journey. At Living Well, wellness is the holistic approach to learning and making healthy lifestyle choices that integrates mind, body, and spirit. It’s present moment living with an awareness that everything we think, feel, and do affects who we are, how we feel and how we experience life. Through the lens of openness, curiosity and self-compassion, wellness is a journey of coming to know ourselves better so we can make daily choices to care for ourselves in ways that bring balance, value, and purpose to life… allowing us to better navigate our river of life.
“Research shows personal neglect is the greatest single cause of being unhealthy and that 53% of our health and wellbeing is determined by our lifestyle choices.”
Wellness Coach
As a Wellness Coach, Jennifer believes in the power of personal responsibility, present-moment living, self-compassion, self-care, and
growing together in community. Through her own journey of healing from immigrating to America as a little girl, the passing of her son and recovering from codependency due to developmental trauma, she is equipped to hold compassionate space for others desiring deeper connections with self, others, and God. Through the practices of embodied self-awareness, mindfulness, self-compassion and setting healthy boundaries, Jennifer coaches clients to find their way back home to themselves.
She has facilitated small groups for over 20 years and believes that growth happens best in community. It’s not always easy and it requires time, but as long as you’re willing to put one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward, anything is possible. As the saying goes, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” She would be honored to walk alongside you in a compassionate, accepting, grace, and truth-filled way, to help you accomplish your goals.
Through either individual or group coaching, she is committed to building relationships based on mutuality and trust, whereby you both are committed to your personal growth and wellbeing. Whatever your cause for feeling stuck or separated from your true self, she desires is to meet and support you wherever you are.
“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” – Viktor Frankl

Benefits of Wellness Coaching
Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual Growth
As you learn how to live in the present moment, identify your needs and take care of yourself, you prepare the soil to grow in ways you can’t even imagine!
Present Moment Living
It starts with you! Through embodied self-awareness, mindfulness, andself-compassion, you learn how to notice the details of life and savor every moment as a gift. We are often harder on ourselves than anyone else. Learning to show up for yourself, the same way you would a friend, changes everything.
Deeper Relationship with your True Self
Through experiencing grace and truth in relationship, safety is created so you can come home to yourself and allow who you really are to come to the surface and be seen, known, and valued. All parts of you are welcome here!
Healthier Relationships with Others and God
Becoming clear on who you are and who you are not, what you are responsible for and what you are not responsible for, allows you to develop healthier attachments toward others and God.
Life Balance
Life is more fulfilling when you’re living in balance. Through increased embodied self-awareness and present moment living, places out of balance are identified, then a plan is developed to restore balance one small step at a time.
Life Purpose
We are each created with a purpose. Whether exploring for the first time or transitioning through a life season, knowing where you are and where you are going provides direction and life-fulfillment.

Happy Clients
“Jennifer has a unique gift for leading groups. I found a sense of community for the first time in one of her groups over 13 years ago. She creates a safe place for people to be authentic and vulnerable in a way that is rarely experienced in daily life. Most of this comes from Jennifer modeling healthy growth in her own life and providing hope as someone who is a few steps ahead on the same journey. She achieves just the right balance of grace and truth in her coaching, which is foundational to Christ-centered growth. Feeling seen and heard in a group, and accepted for who I am, has been transformational in my life.”

Client
“Jennifer has coached me through areas of my life that I needed insight to walk through successfully. Her coaching wasn’t about giving me the answers, but about showing me how to identify the deeper issues I was struggling with for myself. Then helping me to discover the best path, in doable steps, for healing. The growth that came wasn’t so much about solving issues but developing me into more personal maturity and health. I would recommend Jennifer to anyone who wants godly assistance navigating the bumps of life”
