Hi!  My name is Jen.  I am a follower of Jesus, a wife to Levi, a mom to my two beautiful children Eva & Ethan, a fitness instructor, and a health & fitness coach.  Welcome to my blog where I share my adventures, health & fitness tips, recipes, favorite books and products, as well as the occasional nature photo.  I left my unfulfilling and high pressure office job so I could serve others by supporting and helping people find strength, hope and a more invigorating life through health & fitness.  I believe that our bodies are a gift from God, that we should treat them as a holy temple, and that they should be used for serving others and fulfilling God’s purpose.

My personal motivation in living a healthy vibrant life is to encourage others to stop listening to lies from the evil one that they are “not good enough, not skinny enough, not pretty enough”, etc.  Well, I have awesome news for you….if you are God’s child, you are enough.  I spent many years of my life believing the lies from Satan that if I were skinnier, prettier, smarter, had more money, was more “perfect,” then everything would begin to come together for me.   I also spent a good chunk of my life living in a restrictive, lonely, sick world of starvation, extreme dieting and negative body image.  Through all of this I learned that knowledge is power; for so long I thought that being skinny meant you were “fit.”  Boy was I wrong.  After years of studying, learning and immersing myself in the health & fitness world I have a new found passion for encouraging others and teaching them that in health, as in life, it doesn’t have to be “all or nothing,” you don’t have to punish yourself with extremes and that in fact, very small changes can lead to huge transformation over a period of time…and it’s all about balance.

For many years I remember feeling angry about my distorted body image and starving my body of nutrients it so desperately wanted/needed; but now, I am grateful that happened to me because it led me to my passion.  If I can help one person with this blog or with the services I provide and help turn off that negative voice in their head, then this platform has served its purpose.   If you are in search of living with purpose and intention but feel that your health and fitness levels are holding you back, I invite you to join my community where we foster support, encouragement and lift one another up in struggle and success.  Click here if you want to learn more!
