Well hello!

How are you?

Thank you for stopping by to get to know me, I know you’ve got a lot going on. 💗

Even before my college days, I proudly declared myself “stocky” and “big-boned.” Then, the freshman 15 waltzed in, followed by the sophomore 30. Suddenly, I found myself strapped into the wildest roller coaster ride of my life: the weight-loss struggle. And boy, did I hang on for way too many spins!

I dabbled in teaching step aerobics (briefly) and took the plunge into every trendy, celebrity-endorsed, “this is the miracle” weight loss program imaginable. But let’s face it; long-term success wasn’t their strong suit. Instead, I convinced myself that aging meant trading my volleyball and running dreams for a life of creaky joints, weak body parts, and perpetual exhaustion. #Sadness indeed.

Then, in 2008, when the financial world decided to throw a tantrum, I bid farewell to my engineering career and jumped back into teaching.

From the dizzying heights of the 9-5 corporate ladder to embracing the role of a bonus mom, and most recently, stepping into the whirlwind world of family caregiving, I’ve uncovered the secrets to sustainable weight loss and staying healthy, no matter the season.

Today, my wellness routine is an open book – and it’s filled with humor, honesty, and grace. If you’re a family caregiver who’s battled with weight and struggled to find time for your own health, let’s connect.

Together, we’ll find your path to renewed health and a lighter heart.

8 years and counting!

I thought I would just give it a try, not dreaming that 9 months later I would be 15 pounds lighter, a clothing size smaller, and feeling stronger, healthier, and happier having made changes that I can carry forward through the rest of my life.

Jenn is warm, positive, encouraging, and enthusiastic.  I look forward to welcoming her into my home twice a week. I sing her praises regularly – would recommend her to anyone! –  and am so happy about all I have achieved while working with her!

Going farther!!

I started training with Jenn after I hiked the Grand Canyon and decided I could use some help.  Additionally, I am fighting to keep osteoporosis at bay with diet, medication and exercise.  I have worked out with Jenn for 3 months now and I certainly notice quite a bit of change in my body, my endurance and my golf game.  I hit the golf ball farther, I can hike farther and faster, and I love my toned body.  I am also working on improving my posture and Jenn came up with great exercises to strengthen and straighten my back.


I liked to exercise prior to working out with Jenn, but she has brought a whole new level of expectation and perseverance into my workouts.  She is cheerful, knows how to push me beyond what I think I can do, and is very flexible in scheduling workout sessions.  I am so grateful to Jenn for all that she brings into my life!

Our passion: helping others

When someone works with Jenn they aren’t on the journey to total body health alone, she is with each of her clients every step of the way; encouraging them to meet that next goal even when it’s a rough day. That’s what passion is, and that’s exactly what Jennifer has for others

Jenn is awesome!

She’s consistent in her training sessions, though she sometimes brings out Jillian.  She is a good resource for health information.  I always know that I can ask her what’s on my mind and she either knows the answer or will do the research to find the answer.  She’s always making sure to do the best thing for me to help me reach my goals.

Great cheerleader

Thank you for encouraging me to do the Insanity Mud Run!  Running has made me a better biker and I’m now passing all the boys going up hills.  The product you recommended for my knees has been awesome!  I am finally able to train and play volleyball without experiencing pain each and every time.

Strength and energy are up!

After 4 months of working with Jenn, I have shrunk by 2 dress sizes.   My strength and energy levels have increased dramatically since the time we began working out together.   She is a dedicated trainer and has a nice way of encouraging me to do more than I think I can.   Working out with her has been both challenging and fun and I love the results!

Versatile and attentive

Your mobile personal training program allows me to work it into my schedule.  Knowing you will be knocking on my door 3 times a week, keeps me from putting off the workouts and making excuses.  It’s always amazing how attentive to the details you are and that my slightest movement/position can make all the difference between a good and better workout.  Although I was only looking for a workout routine, your help with diet and vitamin needs were a welcome addition.  The USANA Company has been a pleasant surprise.  They really do provide a superior product.  Thank you again for providing such a valuable service.

A chiropractor note

I have been very impressed… mostly with the skill and knowledge that Jennifer brings to the training sessions. Jennifer is an outgoing and enthusiastic person, and she is very patient with her clients.

One step at a time

She clearly understands the process and is dedicated to encouraging her clients toward success in their goals toward better health…Jennifer is always upbeat and energizing.  She’s a pleasure to work with.

You May Be Wondering….

You want a drill sergeant or someone to smack food out of your hand.

You want specific meal plans or being told what to eat.

You’re looking for right now results, a short turnaround, or a specific event in mind as a goal date.

There are so many exercises we can incorporate that don’t require any equipment.

If/when needed, I have a few favorite recommendations that are inexpensive and compact so you can hide them away when you’re done.

Yes! Online coaching and virtual training sessions allow us to work together no matter what state or country we’re in. We’ll use Zoom, FaceTime, and/or the FitBodyPhatLife app depending on your program.

It’s OK. The online coaching programs provide a ton of flexibility. You can complete your workouts and any habits at your convenience.

No problem! The gym isn’t for everyone. If you’d prefer to work out from home or in another dedicated space, we’ll design a program that fits your needs.
