Jennifer started her career in Finance because thats what everyone in the NY metropolitan did after college. She could never ignore this urge to follow her passion for health and fitness though, so after having her first child she decided to pursue her personal training certification with the NSCA. Jennifer loved working with clients on their health and fitness, but she soon realized that she was only addressing a small portion of their overall well-being by focusing on fitness. She realized she needed to address the whole body, including nutrition, sleep, and mindset, all the things that come along with being a holistic practitioner. Plus, she was struggling herself with energy and thyroid issues.

So, after years of trying to do it all and be it all, the perfect mother, the perfect wife, the perfect trainer in the perfect shape, eating the so-called perfect diet, Jennifer happened upon a holistic nutrition and health course that called out her name! Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN). FDN is about getting to the root cause of your health issues, not the simple band-aid approach of covering up symptoms that reappear later in different and sometimes worse ways. Once the root is addressed, the body can heal itself.

Her FDN coursework helped Jennifer heal herself from her own adrenal and thyroid issues. How? Through lab testing of markers of well-being such as hormones and digestion, interpreting those results, and implementing a protocol of DRESS: Diet, Rest, Exercise, Stress reduction, and Supplementation. Jennifer now has the privilege of doing this with her clients. Shes been there, and she can help you!

In addition to her nutrition and fitness background, Jennifer is trained as a NLP Master Practitioner. NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Neuro refers to your neurology, linguistic refers to language, and programming refers to how that neural language functions. In other words, NLP is the process of learning the language of ones own mind, so you can take more control of your outcomes (what you are getting in life). By using the practice of NLP with clients, Jennifer can help clients achieve their goals by utilizing more productive self-talk (instead of unproductive negative self-talk that so many of us dont even realize is likely sabotaging our goals). Language is a powerful tool that can be utilized in achieving health goals.

Jennifer has lived all over the world, from San Francisco to Sydney and Singapore, and is enamored with travel. She loves learning from other cultures, particularly when it comes to using food as medicine. Outside of work Jennifer enjoys spending time with her husband (another world traveler), and their three children.
