About Jen
My name is Jen, and I am so glad that you are here!
If you are reading this, there is a good reason why. Perhaps you are struggling in relationships with your family, in a season of trials in your life, or maybe you are just seeking a little bit… more in your life. I am a retired teacher, holistic life coach, and student of experience, and I help people get connected with themselves and their lives in a way they never thought possible!
After 27 years of teaching, raising my two boys through divorce, depression, and anxiety (my own and theirs), and exploring the ways to support all of the children with whom I have connected over the years, I am here to help you realize the deeply connected life you deserve.
I lived for over 40 years pushing away my feelings and not recognizing the patterns in my life that were really destructive to my mental and emotional wellness. I kept telling myself that I had to “do more” to fix the problems, that if I “could only fill-in-the-blank,” I could hold everyone and everything together – until one day I just couldn’t hold myself together anymore. I realized then that I needed help: help identifying unhealthy habits and communication, clarifying what was actually going on, and understanding the part I was playing in the dysfunction.
After 20 years of exploring and investigating in order to help others, I found a life coach for myself and continued to research and learn as much as I could. I found my way to The Adult Chair® and Michelle Chalfant, and I quickly realized that this model held the key to unlocking true healing for myself and others. I knew I wanted to add this certification to my list of tools as the basis and foundation of my practice.
The Adult Chair incorporates models, techniques, and tools for self-healing that gave me the insight and practices for healing the trauma and patterns that had impacted my life so profoundly. Through The Adult Chair, I am now able to address and resolve issues through a holistic approach and an emotional and spiritual perspective that allows me to help you heal from within.
I know the feeling of despair and desperation watching my children struggle and suffer through the dysfunction at home, but I also know how to navigate through it to the other side, and I want to help you do the same.
My promise to you.
Through our work together you will:
Learn to recognize your patterns and get to know yourself on a deeper level
Begin to show up in your relationships in a way that focuses on connection and allows you to communicate, not react
Become firmly rooted in your truth and be regulated and present in all situations
