Introduction: Are you feeling overwhelmed and disheartened in your life, especially in your high-pressure job? Have you been prioritizing others' needs for too long, neglecting your own well-being? If you're ready to regain control of your life, find emotional balance, and unlock your full potential, you're in the right place. Life can often feel like a never-ending cycle of hard work and little satisfaction. You've toiled tirelessly, but the pursuit of money and success hasn't brought you the happiness you truly desire. It's time to reclaim your life and rediscover what it means to thrive. I specialize in helping individuals like you who are facing trauma, emotional regulation challenges, and relationship issues. My goal is to guide you step by step on your journey towards greater life balance, renewed space for personal growth, and a well-balanced nervous system. If you're feeling disheartened in your relationships, overwhelmed by the pressures of your job, and you've been putting your own needs on the back burner for far too long, you're not alone. Many of my clients have been where you are now. They've experienced job-related stress, relationship breakdowns, and personal crises that have left them feeling lost and disconnected from themselves. But here's the good news: change is possible. I offer a transformational coaching program designed to help you regain control of your life in just 90 days. Through my Resilient Practitioner™ program, you'll learn how to reduce stress, manage anxiety, break free from old habits, and let go of self-destructive patterns. My approach is rooted in eastern practices, neuropsychology, and holism, providing a comprehensive foundation for emotional and spiritual well-being. This is not for the faint-hearted or those unwilling to take their lives seriously. This is for individuals who are committed to their own growth and transformation. As a seasoned therapist, counselor, and holistic coach with over 30 years of experience, I've witnessed incredible transformations in my clients. My personal journey, including post-traumatic growth from brain surgery, has solidified my belief in the power of resilience and holistic well-being. Are you ready to make a change? To rediscover hope, possibility, and contentment in your life? If so, I'm here to support you on this transformative journey towards emotional, spiritual, and physical strength.

From day one, Jennifer made me feel safe and comfortable sharing more vulnerable parts of myself. She noticed special things that other people might not, like when my voice or my body language changed with emotion. She showed compassion by always listening to my needs, which varied session by session, and tailoring her coaching towards them. Through not only our conversations but through specific practices like body tapping, writing/speaking mantras, and Yoganidra meditation, I was able to grow my capacity to meet life’s challenges. I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone facing anxiety, depression, or any other relational issues.

Isabella, thanks for your kind words. I am glad that you have found sound tools that work for growing more comfortable with the vulnerable parts. You are born resilient, and always have the tools now. Take good care and keep in touch.

I reached out to Jen for guidance during a chaotic time in my life. I was struggling with my health, unsatisfied in my relationship and burnt out in my career. I enrolled in Jen's Resilient Practitioner Program. Although therapy I had received prior to this was beneficial, Jen was able to provide a different kind of support. Her therapy background and somatic coaching mixed with yogic philosophy was just what I needed. I slowly began to learn how to listen to my body and become more aware of what it was telling me. While the work was not easy, it was very effective. After about 6 months working with Jen one-on-one and in supportive group sessions, I started to realize how far I had come. Now, I am passionate about my field again, on the way to starting my own business. I am happier than I've ever been in my marriage. I have built the resiliency to take on whatever challenges comes my way thanks to Jen and Mind Body Awareness. You will find Jen to be gentle, yet encouraging, intuitive and kind hearted - the perfect match on any healing journey.

Emily, I am glad that you found support from me on your journey to change. You have great momentum in growing your resilience. Look forward to following and knowing more along the way!

Since beginning work with Jen I've felt really cared for, supported, and encouraged to grow into the best version of myself - all while dealing with an incredibly challenging life situation. Jen's broad and deep range of knowledge on techniques and practices from yoga to breathwork to mental health has allowed her to help me identify my core values, identify patterns of behavior through discussion of day to day activities and things from my past, and assist me with techniques and perspectives to cope with the challenges while at the same time growing into the person I want to become. I always feel Jen is fully present and engaged in our sessions and that she is genuinely invested in supporting me. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Dave, it is a pleasure to work with a wholehearted dedicated person like you. This work isn't easy, however it is for your personal evolution and you trust in that. I have no doubt that your growth will have a ripple effect to all those around you.

Jennifer is awesome! We have been working for a few months on managing my anxiety and depression and she has helped me so much! I was in search for a holistic/yoga approach to therapy and she fit my needs perfectly! She incredibly approachable and makes me feel so comfortable during every session. Jennifer’s schedule is flexible and I never have difficulty finding a time to talk. I highly recommend her to anyone in search of a therapist!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The rate for my fees is an average. A customer who works with me receives, individual, group and supportive ongoing learning to round out a total sequential healing experience. We find out your needs, your goals, and together set the course with the pacing and the material that has proven to work for my clients in the past. I continue to update and make changes as more clients provide feedback that reinforces well informed adjustments.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
A customer asks to have an exploratory call with me. We meet over the telephone and I ask some questions that help inform me of the context of the problems and difficulties that are prompting the need for help at the moment. We look ahead 3-4 months, and forecast a life well lived and cared for and supported. Together we shape the tools and resources needed to grow into that supported life. If we see a match to my skills and your needs we decide on the program that fits, or if I can offer a referral for someone more appropriate.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Master's Degree from Lesley University, 30 years of experience in mental health in various roles, a 200 hour yoga teacher (700 plus hours of further yoga training), Mindfulness Instructor, and 3 years of Trauma Training post graduate, 50 post Master's credits in psychology.
