Hi! I’m Jen
My story
My teens and 20’s were marked by health challenges. My body struggled through allergies, hormone imbalance, depression, anxiety, disordered eating, extremely poor body image and self hatred. In order to ‘fix’ myself, I dove into the world of fitness.
Soon, I was living a life that from the outside, looked like I was thriving. I had seen improvements through training and nutrition, and was competing nationally in bodybuilding and winning powerlifting competitions. Until in 2014, chronic fatigue syndrome took over my body and left me completely lost and confused. .
I was doing everything right – eating well and training regularly. What was I missing?
Chronic fatigue stole my energy, my ability to continue training and no matter what I ate, I couldn’t shift it. My health deteriorated both physically and emotionally.
But, it was also the catalyst for the most incredible gifts…
I BELIEVE
Vibrant, powerful health is not found in a pill.
We are not victims of our genes or our circumstances.
We have the power to overcome anything that stands in the way of true health, happiness and
fulfilment.
Our biggest struggles carry within them our greatest gifts.
At 31 I began a personal ‘pilgrimage’ and over 8 years I healed. I am freer now than I have ever been.
This journey led me to understand that optimal health is not as simple as taking a pill, nor is it as simple as exercising and dieting. Our bodies contain everything you need to know in order to heal and become well, and learning to master our nervous systems in this way is key to true health, happiness, and fulfillment.
It’s not easy, and you have to be fully invested, but it is absolutely worth it.
What about now, in 2023? There’s nothing I love more than passing on my hard-earned wisdom and liberating women from the same struggles I’ve suffered through. When you feel healthy, the world is yours for the taking. I would love to help you take hold of every piece of it you want to.
So, you don’t have to stay the same. Transformation is possible, and yes, you can love and enjoy the process.
I believe that our biggest struggles carry our greatest gifts.
Based in Canberra, Australia, I work with clients globally both in person and online, of all ages and walks of life. My work ranges from lifestyle change and weight loss goals, to overcoming emotional eating, and body image challenges and sports nutrition. How far (and how deep) you want to go with me is completely up to you!
My process is evidence-based and backed by numerous coaching client successes. Personally, I have a background in powerlifting and bodybuilding, and I’ve competed in strongman. All up, I have 21 years experience in nutrition and personal training, with additional training in naturopathic medicine, sports medicine, meditation teacher training, somatic trauma therapy, subconscious mindset change and energy work.
It’s the combination of my experience and relentless pursuit of learning that will always inform my work and make my process unique.
