Back In 2011… I had done every detox, diet, cleanse, and exercise trend possible trying to lose weight. I felt uncomfortable in my body and wanted a change. I had tried all the quick fixes, tried everything on my own, and it left me feeling desperate and a stranger to my own body, that I so tirelessly tried to change, to slim, to lessen. I knew this approach was not the way I wanted to live my life, so I started to do some research on…wellness.
I found the book - Integrative Nutrition and from there I took a bold step and signed up with a Health Coach. (Mind you, I didn’t really even know what a Health Coach entailed, but I knew I wanted holistic outside support)
My Health Coach started with the basic, but very challenging journey of helping me to find happiness with me. This version of me in 2011 was the girl who was single, the girl who not financially flourishing, the girl who was unhappy with her career, the girl who did not feel confident in her body, and basically wanted all areas of her life to improve.
Through Health Coaching, I found a better job that supported my financial goals and brought me happiness.
Through Health Coaching, I learned to how to care for and love myself.
Little did I know that what I once thought was true… "I'll be happy when I'm skinny..." “I’ll be happy when…”, was not a mindset that was serving me and my health coach gave me tools to release this mindset and elevate my perspective.
I elevated the AREAS of my life that desired nurturing: my relationships, my career, my finances, and ONCE happiness was found, my body responded naturally and released years of struggle. My body found it's happy place, naturally.
My journey with my health coach, inspired me to want to BE a health coach.
I enrolled at Institute for Integrative Nutrition and received my health coaching certification in 2014.
As YOU See Fit is an international wellness program, created to INSPIRE those who want to elevate their lives, whether starting fresh on your wellness journey or adding more clarity and calm to your already amazing life.
After over 10 years of health coaching, everyday I am inspired to meet my clients where they are, without judgement, with a safe place to share and to gift them freedom from years of struggle, lack of balance and embrace boundaries, wellness, sleep and a more fulfilling life.
I share my story with the hopes that people see it took the “mud” to enjoy the blossom of the “lotus”. I'm not the girl who woke up with the love of her life in hand, a wonderful career and family, and all is merry and well. It took me investing in me to get to a point in my life, where I FINALLY feel amazing in my body and am so grateful for the journey that got me here today.
So I give gratitude to this version of me; to the woman I am today, to the wife I am today, the mother I am today, the daughter I am today, the friend I am today, to the Jenna I am today. I would not be here without the struggle, the challenges and the hardships of my 20’s, to then explore and elevate my life in my 30’s and to honor all these chapters with grace thanks to Health Coaching and Wellness.
As You See Fit revitalizes your health and your happiness by adding in curated organic daily smoothies, divine high quality supplements, and MOST of all, gifting you freedom (from society's view) on what you should be, who you should be, how you should look…
I ask you today...who do you WANT to be?
I'm pretty sure we all just want to be at peace. I’m here to bring you there.
I’m sending you all my love,
