Hi, I’m Jen.
I’m a Functional Hormone Health Coach and Certified Midlife Specialist. I help women in perimenopause and menopause understand what’s happening in their bodies and feel like themselves again.
I’ve worked in women’s wellness since 2005, and I’ve walked this path myself, through years of unexplained symptoms, doctors who couldn’t help and my own dramatic perimenopause.

From imbalance, to balance…
Before I became a Hormone Health Coach, I started my career as a fashion designer. The stress from that career was intense… and I ultimately shifted my focus to wellness. I became a yoga, and meditation teacher, and then a health coach.
Today my passion is educating women about their hormone health, the nervous system and midlife. I also love art, hanging out with my son, and dog walks with my pup!
My Fiery Passion for Women’s Health…
As women, so often we’ve been taught our bodies are broken.
From how we “should” look, to the size we “should” be, to the symptoms that are “all in our heads” or “normal”.
I’ve heard these things multiple times in my life.
My own health story, the lack of excellent support and education on women’s health, hormones and midlife, and the vast amount of misinformation is what brought me to my work.
The beauty of what I learned while studying mindfulness, yoga and women’s health, was, that given the opportunity, our bodies have the innate wisdom to heal.
My Health Story…
It’s hard to know which came first, but a series of imbalances set the proverbial snowball cascading down the hill.
Early in my cycling years, I experienced undiagnosed, excruciating cycle pain. Later I dealt with unexplained muscle and joint pain and Hashimoto’s autoimmunity. I also dealt with hormone imbalances, infertility, and multiple miscarriages. And in early perimenopause, my whole system flaired with MCAS and histamine intolerance. At one point, I was having allergic reactions to almost every food I ate.
I was in pain daily and my symptom list seemed endless. I saw countless doctors and practitioners and made almost no progress for years.
But through all of that, I always had hope that I could feel better.
This is why I took my health into my own hands. I studied wellness from a functional and integrative standpoint. I sought out practitioners who looked at my health from a root cause. Who really listened and didn’t brush off my symptoms or gaslight me. And…I fired the ones who weren’t listening, shamed me, or gaslit me.
And then in the thick of perimenopause… I got derailed. I had a never ending list of symptoms from joint pain, to muscle pain, to severely long cycles. I saw a highly recommended practitioner for a year and a half. She never tested my hormones, and my most embarrassing symptom, a leaky bladder, was never addressed, no matter how many times I asked.
So I did what I’d learned to do: I dug in. I completed multiple mentorships in midlife hormone health, perimenopause and menopause. I found a practitioner who truly listened, and I added Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (often called BHRT or HRT).
I kept focusing on nutrition and lifestyle changes that supported my body. I chose daily practices to work on my nervous system. I used a gentle yet powerful detox and used targeted, high-quality supplements. I practiced yoga, walked more and started strength training.
I made profound progress.
I eliminated my pain.
I minimized my food sensitivities (today, they’re almost gone).
My hair grew back.
I regulated my sleep.
I reclaimed my energy.
I replenished my hormones.
And I felt better and more like myself than I had in years, maybe ever.
It wasn’t the easiest work I’ve ever done, but it’s the best work I’ve ever done. And it’s exactly why I now help women optimize their hormone health in midlife, get educated, feel vibrant and sleep amazingly.
Because YOU deserve to feel optimal. You deserve to feel like yourself again.

“I finally feel seen and heard. I feel like you know exactly how I am feeling, when no one else had gotten it previously.”
