About

Hey โ€” Iโ€™m Jen. ๐Ÿ‘‹

Iโ€™m a holistic life coach who helps people build the skills to meet their lives with more steadiness, clarity, and agency โ€” especially when theyโ€™re at a crossroads.

I work with people who are thoughtful, capable, and often carrying a lot. People who want to feel more aligned with who they are and how theyโ€™re living โ€” not by optimizing themselves, but by slowing down, getting honest, and making intentional choices that they feel stoked about.

My stance as a coach

Iโ€™m not interested in surface-level insight or performative growth.

I care about you leaving our work together with real skills: the ability to regulate your nervous system, get clear about what actually matters to you, and take integrity-driven action โ€” especially in uncertain times.

My coaching is grounded, practical, and human. We work with whatโ€™s real โ€” your body, your patterns, your values, your actual life โ€” not a theoretical version of who you think you should be.

Why this work fits me (and how I show up)

My private coaching practice was formally shaped through two accredited coach training programs. But people who know me well often say, โ€œThis is what you were always meant to do.โ€

Iโ€™m naturally introspective and deeply curious about others. Since I was a kid, Iโ€™ve had self-help and personal growth books crowding my nightstand. Long before coaching was a profession, it was my way of orienting to life.

The human context I bring into the room

Iโ€™m also an entrepreneur (since 2018), a former marketing leader at high-growth tech startups, and the founder of Zest โ€” a company I created to bring skill-based, regulation-focused support into the workplace.

Outside of work, my life is shaped by dance, movement, parenthood, partnership, and community. Iโ€™m a wife and mother to two young daughters. Iโ€™m a Spanish speaker with a deep love of Latin America.

Iโ€™m a survivor of sexual assault, which informs my deep care around consent, agency, and safety โ€” both in coaching and in life. Iโ€™m a dancer and sensual movement advocate who believes the body is not an accessory to growth, but central to it.

All of this shapes how I coach.

My mission is to help you understand, trust, and regulate yourself โ€” so you can take integrity-driven action & feel stoked about how youโ€™re living.

Understanding without regulation is overwhelming.
Regulation without action is stagnant.
Action without trust isnโ€™t sustainable.

We work with all of it โ€” together.

Folks describe me asโ€ฆ

  • Mindful & grounded

  • Both a โ€œdreamerโ€ and a โ€œdoerโ€ that really enjoys the โ€œbeingโ€

  • Empathetic & intuitive

  • Efficient & professional

  • A mom with a wholesome family life & a dynamic personal life

  • Welcoming & open-minded

  • Adventurous & grounded

  • Regularly fun. (Occasionally funny.)

  • Spiritual & sensual

  • Soft & strong


This is for you ifโ€ฆ

My coaching works for people who feel really ready to stop circling the same questions and start making grounded, self-trusting moves.

You might be:

  • At a professional or personal crossroads

  • Successful on paper, but internally conflicted or restless

  • Tired of overthinking and craving clarity you can act on

  • Wanting to slow down without losing momentum

  • Ready to make decisions you can actually stand behind

If you want to feel more at home in your body, more confident in your choices, and more steady in the face of change โ€” coaching together may be a great fit.

Iโ€™d love to meet you. ๐Ÿ‘‡

Some of my identitiesโ€ฆ

  • Holistic life coach

  • Entrepreneur since 2018

  • Former Marketing leader at high-growth tech startups

  • Wife & Mother to 2 young daughters

  • Lover of the Spanish language

  • Survivor of sexual assault

  • Former Catholic school girl

  • Dancer and slow movement advocate

This is probably NOT a fit ifโ€ฆ

This work may not be the right fit if youโ€™re looking for:

  • Quick fixes, surface-level insight, or motivational hype

  • Someone to tell you exactly what to do without your own reflection or agency

  • Coaching that avoids discomfort, emotion, or honest self-inquiry

  • A purely tactical or performance-only approach without attention to the body

  • Growth that looks good on the outside but isnโ€™t integrated on the inside

I work best with people who are willing to be present, take responsibility for their choices, and practice new ways of responding to life โ€” even when itโ€™s uncomfortable.
