Welcome 

Welcome..I'm so glad that you are here. If you are a perpetual dieter, exercise fanatic, perfectionist, stressed-out, busy, exhausted and committed parent, you have come to the right place. I can relate! 

Up until about ten years ago, my daily routine consisted of drinking a pot of strong coffee before noon, followed by lots of candy  (skittles and gummy anything were my faves) and a few glasses of wine each night, to "calm my nerves."  How did that work out for me?  Not so well! I was a hot mess and my inner and outer life reflected it.  I was forgetful, late, exhausted, cranky, impatient, unfocused with severe discomfort in my joints.  The perpetual smile on my face was not authentic.  

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia by a well known Orthopedist and told to take Vioxx (the highly advertised anti-inflammatory drug).  My curiosity was sparked and I began wondering... what alternative options did I have to medication? I had heard that stress, poor food choices, lack of self-care, negative beliefs, and mindless living and eating were known to cause discomfort. 

So I started slowing down, creating awareness around my patterns, and paid attention to how events effected me at a physical and emotional level.  I also incorporated meditation into my daily routine! I was shocked to discover that the small shifts greatly impacted how I related to others and to myself.

Throughout this journey, I attended Food as Medicine Training, a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Class, Internal Family Systems Training.  I also worked with a kinesiologist, acupuncturist, cellular biologist and practiced self-compassion work while continuing to train with my mentor Dr. Paul Epstein,  a world renown mind-body medicine professor. A true gift in my transformation, and I am deeply grateful to Paul. 

Now, each day I show up and embrace life fully. I'm courageous and connected to my innate wisdom, energy and power (we all have it).  I am not perfect, I fall down...then I get up and try again. Now, I'm in a unique position to inspire others. 

It is my pleasure to help others revive their internal energy and power, and live a vibrant, incredible life.  If I did it, you can too.

Show up for yourself! Take that courageous step to reach out and discover the best version of yourself.

With love and gratitude,

Jen
