About Jennifer

Life coach, mental health advocate, and fellow traveler on the path of grief.

My Story

Before that day, my role was clear. I was a stay-at-home mom managing the daily operations of our family life; school drop-offs, doctor appointments, practices, tournaments, lunches, laundry, schedules, and all the invisible details that keep a household running. I also worked part-time at a small Christian school. Life moved between baseball fields, volleyball gyms, and school activities. It was busy, ordinary, and steady.

Then one day, everything changed. My husband went for a run and never came home.

Grief introduced me to a version of myself I had never met. I had to learn how to parent grieving children while drowning in my own sorrow. I had to figure out finances, house maintenance, and how to sleep in a silent house. Most importantly, I had to figure out who I was when the person who anchored my life was suddenly gone.

My Philosophy

I don't believe that time heals all wounds. I believe that what we do with that time matters. Coaching isn't about toxic positivity or finding the "silver lining" in a tragedy. It's about holding space for the pain while simultaneously looking for the path forward.

As a certified life coach and mental health advocate, I combine my lived experience with professional training to help women navigate the impossible transition of sudden loss. You don't have to do this alone.

Let's walk this path together

Whether you're looking for one-on-one coaching or just want to read some reflections on grief and healing, I'm here.

Guiding women to find the path forward.
