Shift Life Health Coaching with Jenny
My Wellness Journey
Feel like a rushing woman (real diagnosis thanks to nutritional biochemist and author Dr. Libby Weaver)? I sure did – long work days, business travel, school projects, travel baseball, dance competitions in other states, and co-running a household with my husband. I put my health on the back burner for years. Shortly after my youngest, Lucy, was born in 2011…
- I was 20 pounds overweight,
- Inconsistent with exercise,
- Queen of take out, and
- Overused caffeine to get through the day, powering through board trainings/presentations.
Then, it hit me. Growing up, I watched my mom struggle with her weight, diet, and battle serious health issues. This was going to be me, unless I made a shift.
I invested in a personal trainer and started working on my diet. I devoured diet and nutrition books and became more and more confident in the kitchen, in the gym and on the yoga mat.
After decade of success as a nonprofit consultant, I decided to leverage my consulting experience and work on helping others with their health and wellness goals – something I am incredibly passionate about.
- I am certified as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN).
- I am a certified Hormone Health Coach through IIN.
- I serve as an Ambassador for IIN.
- I am Functional Therapeutic Diets Specialist through Primal Health Coaching Institute.
- I am a Yoga Alliance RYT 200 certified Yoga Instructor.
- I am a Certified Fundraising Executive (CFRE) and continue to partner with nonprofits on their strategic fundraising programs and campaigns.
Best thing about working with Jenny? She’s got me thinking – thinking about my choices, my health, my goals, my actions and myself. Jenny’s coaching has given me the information, inspiration and the power to keep my personal health front-and-center each and every day. The result? Sustainable changes in my lifestyle and my overall health.”
