About
Hi! I’m Jean, a certified personal trainer and health coach offering in-person fitness coaching in the Charleston, SC area, as well as virtual coaching for those who prefer to train remotely. I believe fitness should be challenging, enjoyable, and sustainable, not something that takes over your life. My approach combines strength training, functional fitness, nutrition guidance, and habit-building to help you feel stronger, healthier, and more confident. With years of coaching experience, multiple fitness and nutrition certifications, and a master’s degree in Human Development, I bring both the science of exercise and an understanding of what it takes to create lasting change. Whether you’re brand new to fitness, getting back into a routine, or looking to take your training to the next level, I’ll create a personalized plan that fits your goals, lifestyle, and abilities. My goal is simple: to help you build strength, confidence, and healthy habits that last—while actually enjoying the process! Let’s get stronger together!

I trained with Jean for three months, she is super helpful and responsible while helping me with my weight training goal. She provided not just understandable instructions even for a beginner like me, she also helped me in any step during the process with many diet plans and most important--mental support. I love the optimism and energy she has all the time!
We trained at the apartment's gym, Jean is always punctual even comes earlier than our appointments. She prepared everything we need and adjust the training plan based on equipment. This is super helpful when I was training alone, I can still follow her routines.
I tried many ways of losing weight, Jean helped me overcome the platform and train more systematically. Many progresses are shown after two months, and I was not STARVELING! Even after training sessions were over, I can still follow her work out routine from Ins. I was happier to keep work out as a routine for my daily life!
I had a great time and with Jean and her amazing personality, hope you will do as well!

In short, Jean delivers on her promises. Our workout sessions are indeed making me lose weight, gain strength and boost my stamina.

Jean's flexibility and punctuality helped me commit despite my busy daily schedule. I never thought I can spare time to train, but she made it a reality.

She also answers my concerns and questions whenever I send her. Her positive attitude is making me enjoy our sessions and commit to training with her for the long term.

Before I worked with Jean I had zero confidence in taking up any space in the world and wasn’t taking care of my body in any sense of the word. I didn’t take a look at what I was eating/snacking or how much I was doing it until I started the program. I decided to take action and work with Jean because I came to the point where I wanted to be healthy and not feel guilty for existing. Since the program started I’ve lost an inch and a half around my waist and the confidence and knowledge I have towards working out now is beyond anything I could have imagined. I’ve learned so many recipes and healthier ways to cook favorite foods. Jean was so amazingly supportive and flexible, willing to modify sets to make it easier to do and helping to keep up my progress when health issues started to present itself. I honestly don’t thing I could recommend her enough; Jean’s approach covers all the aspects needed to confront sustained, healthy living.

I've worked with Jean for about 6 months, as both a Health & Wellness Coach and as a Personal Trainer. Our goal was to move me towards a sustainable overall healthy lifestyle, making weight and strength progress along the way. Coaching has largely focused around eating, addressing my long-held emotional food challenges. Training has largely focused around a balanced approach to cardio and strength training. In all, Jean has supported me in getting to a much better place. I'm happy to give Jean all the credit for the Goldilocks approach I now have towards food and exercise - in both, I'm striving for just the right amount - not too much, not too little - with the goal to maintain it forever, and to maintain and improve overall health along the way.

I've tried to get here many other ways, over a long period of time, but I have achieved more with Jean in 6 months than with any prior person or program. Why? Jean is well trained, wise beyond her years (she's like half my age!), and takes a balanced, realistic approach to progress, focusing on long-term sustainability rather than short-term unsustainable gains. She's fun to work with, is always smiling, and is a compassionate coach who's willing to share her own prior and ongoing challenges, and successes, in some of these same areas. My journey isn't over, it probably never will be, but Jean's skills, and the strategies she's provided me, have moved me faster and further towards my goals that I ever thought possible!

My fitness/nutrition journey has been a roller coaster with a lot of ups and downs. During the pandemic I decided to commit to adapting to a better lifestyle, but I was struggling with what the best plan for my personal journey was. When my boyfriend proposed to me I had that little extra push that I needed to seek out help with this journey, as I want to look my best for my wedding day. Working with Jean has been the best decision I’ve made. She has catered a plan that is made just for me and that is actually attainable! The best part is that there are no restrictions, just guidelines, which makes everything seem more possible. Since starting with Jean I can feel a change in myself; I have more energy, I am more organized, and I can physically see changes in my body. One of the biggest challenges that I have been able to overcome is learning that I don’t have to be perfect at everything to succeed, I just have to commit to myself. Jean has helped me re-frame what a healthy lifestyle looks like and I am so thankful for this. She has held me accountable and has taught me so much in how to take care of myself. I look forward to our weekly check-ins and always learn something new to better my progress. Jean is very easy to work with, encouraging, and relatable; I would highly recommend her to anyone and I am so glad I found her to help me on my healthy lifestyle journey.
