Jen was so attentive to what I was feeling and really helped me transition smoothly from a state of blaming my body to a place where I can happily say that my body and I are deeply connected for the first time in my life. She always had really great insight whenever I had any questions, and she remembered everything from our previous discussions, so I always felt like she really cared about me as an individual and knew what I specifically needed. Jen is an encouraging, uplifting, honest coach who I would recommend to anyone. I’ve already recommended her to a few friends. It is safe to say that Jen has really done her research and knows about every holistic practice under the sun and would reference the appropriate practice based on what I was feeling. She is so knowledgeable and continues to learn about health and wellness. I really, truly enjoyed working together and will not hesitate to call her whenever I have a health roadblock in the future. Her genuine care for me made this an invaluable experience and I will always thank her for opening my eyes to the beauty of my own body.

By working one on one with Jen, I was able to measure where I was putting my energy in to, where it was being drained and where I wanted to put it. It was eye opening. I am focused now on more creativity, more love, more adventure and more hormonal health changes as I continue with my second program with Flo Living.

When I started working with Jen, I was intent on beginning a journey to improved fertility and healthy lifestyle. From my first session she brought a sense of compassion, patience and professionalism which made the difference for me in this program. There are countless things I learned from our sessions which I have and look forward to continuing to incorporate into my life throughout all life stages. First, I want to share the news of the birth of my son about a year later after completing my sessions! My focus during and post sessions was self-care, connecting on a daily basis with self-love, acceptance and focus on the following to name a few: making time for meals, cooking/prepping more meals vs.ordering in / buying prepared meals, increasing my water intake, incorporation of a daily mindbody technique, focus on spirituality and community. A mantra for me was focus, determination and patience. I also made a complete overhaul in my personal products. Jen was a good teacher and cheerleader. Any time I have a marathon of some sort, I know who I can count on.

When I started with Jen, I was hoping to learn how to balance my hormones and optimize my health as well as achieve a healthy weight. I was diagnosed with Premature Ovarian Failure at 16 and this has been a struggle for me. By focusing on my body, I felt more satisfied and less deprived when eating healthy. I learned what I should eat for my body. I take time for meals, I am prepared with snacks, ordering more veggies, plus making kale! I even created a girls night with a healthy twist! I spend less money on eating out and learned to prep food. I am doing more exercise and learned the different things that can affect our health including emotions. Jen is supportive and has made me more knowledgeable about my body and now I understand how I can bring my body in to balance. This is knowledge that will last a lifetime!
