I come to this work through many seasons of personal transitions, experiences and realizations. After coming to the awareness I was suffering from CPTSD I began the process of navigating life with a focus to heal and change how I interact with the people and situations that contributed to those traumatic relationships. Learning and understanding how the affects both my unhealed and healed parts have had on my myself as a person, as a mother, as a partner, as a friend, and on the other people around me, has given shape to my own therapeutic and coaching journey. I found a calling to support others as they move through uncertainty, healing, transitions, and personal redefinition- from a place of empathy,  compassion, curiosity, and respect for their unique life experiences. My working background includes administrative work, interior design, carpentry, acting, set design, and now life coaching. Interacting with both clients and peers has helped shape my understanding of alignment and intention— both our inner and outer environments influence how we feel, move, and make meaning.  ​I am the parent of 4 amazingly unique children. Our family journey has taken us along many pathways navigating dynamic and upheaving shifts in family structure, showing me how to accept, listen, support and advocate through neurodivergent, Autistic, and gender identity situations. These experiences  have deepened my understanding of advocacy, adaptability, equity over equality, and the importance of holding a space where people feel seen, supported, and accepted for who they are. ​​ Time spent in nature—especially hiking— is a prominent source of self- care & alignment providing space for inner reflection which grounds both my life and my work. Nature offers rhythm, perspective, and balance, reinforcing my belief that growth doesn’t come from force, but from steadiness, connection, and listening inward.  The above lived experiences & perspectives come together, forming my coaching practice, and providing valuable insights and tools for how I can support each client on their unique, goal setting journey. I look forward to working with you.  ​~ Jen
