Hi, I’m Jen!

I’m a certified professional coach and I want to know your story.  Allow me to tell you a bit of mine… I’ve always been a bit of a square peg, struggling to fit into a round hole.  My passion for learning goes back as far as I can remember, but as a kid I always had a hard time in school.  Everything took me longer than it should have, and there was always a feeling that I was running out of time. But I’m a GenXer, so like whatever.  Suck it up, buttercup!

My Story

As I grew, I found great joy in supporting the learning of others.  From training new joiners at my retail and restaurant jobs to supporting well known organizations and top universities as a customer success manager, I fell in love with my work.  

We all know what happened in 2020.  For me, it was a slow burn into burnout.  You see, those of us who love our work are the ones at the highest risk.  We give 110% and pour our heart and soul into it all until the tank is empty.  We are left not knowing how it happened and what to do next.  

For me, that moment was in the Spring of 2022.  My burnout was so severe that I could no longer take it.  With the support of my husband, I stepped away from full time work.

I went on a powerful retreat in Costa Rica and found myself a somatic therapist. This enabled me to pursue my longtime dream of training to be a professional coach.  

Today my work flows between coaching, educating, and inspiring. Each day, I strive to bring energy and enthusiasm while remembering to not take myself too seriously.  Colleagues and clients have often commented on my willingness to be vulnerable, and authentic, as well as my sense of humor.  

Whatever work brings us together, I strive to be user friendly and to witness and hold space for you without judgment.  I bring compassionate directness and curiosity to every engagement – I’m not afraid to call bullshit when appropriate and I expect you to do the same for me.

Like all of us, I am still in beta.  My intention is always to bring a growth mindset to life and work, to learn from each experience, and to listen with a sense of mindfulness, presence, and empathy.

Life Now

I’ve lived in New England for almost all of my life.  I currently call Massachusetts home but have come to appreciate that home can be wherever my camper van takes me, my husband, and my rescue pup.

When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me…

  • Finding new and inventive ways to enjoy tater tots while drinking fancy wine
  • Petting as many dogs as I can
  • Supporting the local businesses in my community or whatever community I find myself in
  • Traveling and enjoying nature – I can’t say no to a good hike, retreat, music festival, comedy show, coffee in an off the beaten path coffee shop, or stout or porter at a local dive bar
