Meet your guide

Hi, I am Jennifer. I am honored to lead transformative experiences where people find their true selves and courageously act on their discoveries.

It took me 40+ years to find my mission—inspiring people to live their unique lives to the fullest. No matter where you are in life, it's always the right time to ask, "How can I live authentically as me?"

My diverse background—including journalism, small business ownership, Girl Scouts leadership, spiritual community involvement, and motherhood—has equipped me to guide others on this journey.

Do you want to know what it means to be truly you? Let's find out together.

What others say

Power of connection and quiet moments

It was truly special to gather with such inspiring women and share a reflective conversation by the fire. I deeply appreciated the company, the meaningful exchange, and the peacefulness of the night — a beautiful reminder of the power of connection and quiet moments.

Space to think

The intention-setting retreat set the tone for a lot of the decisions I made this year. I was so appreciative to be given the space to think through the things that were most important in my life for this season, and be given a framework to turn those values into an intention that was easily implementable. Bonus was the collage we each made! I've kept mine on display in my office all year!

Explore and find meaning

Jennifer has a calming presence as a leader in contemplative practices. She frames activities in purposeful, accessible ways and then steps out of the way so you can explore and find meaning on your own. She provides a safe, nurturing environment and creates opportunities for deep reflection.

Invest in myself

Attending the intention-setting retreat was a wonderful opportunity to invest in myself and think about my life and how I want it to be. I enjoyed the time reflecting and sharing with the group, and I walked away with a strong vision for how I wanted to move forward with how I approach my family and work.
