Chef Jamal James Kent - SAGA, Crown Shy, Overstory
15 years ago I was your stereotypical Chef dedicating myself to my career, and due to the long hours and unhealthy choices, my personal life suffered. I wanted to live long for my wonderful wife and amazing kids.
With Jenna as my Health Coach, I am now crushing life each day and have found balance as a NYC Chef, a husband, a father, and a runner. Not only have I lost 40 lbs, I’m happier, healthier, and I’m more present for my family. And bonus my body is a lot stronger. I know that tomorrow will be full of choices that support a better quality of life. Thank you Jenna for this.
Chef Erin - Fausto
Jenna helped me love food again, helped me love eating again, helped me love myself again. Food isn't the enemy I once thought it was, it's just food. She helped me find flavor, balance, and pleasure with nourishment.
For the first time I'm not sacrificing and I'm losing weight and shedding years of negative thinking. She helped me find me again, and to know that taking care of myself isn't selfish, but a necessity. I love myself again. There aren't enough ways for me to thank Jenna for taking me through this journey. I am forever grateful.
Catherine - Al Coro
Jenna truly changed the way I view my overall health and well-being.
After moving to New York City I quickly got caught up in the high energy, long work hours, and long commutes, and pretty soon was constantly exhausted. After participating in As You See Fit for a few weeks, I quickly noticed an improvement in my energy.
From the simple day-to-day basics like smoothies, to long term goals like running a race, Jenna provided guidance and encouragement with incredible organization and grace. As You See Fit is a wonderful program that sets the groundwork for a lifetime of rewarding physical and mental growth. I could not be happier with my decision to participate in the program, and feel truly thankful to have met Jenna, who has inspired me to find my center, and remember to take time to breathe in the midst of this wild city.
Kristine - Mr Paradise
I started my relationship with Jenna as my health coach because I felt incomplete; my heart and head were far from well. For someone who grounds herself in being strong, I was lost and insecure with pain. With my busy social lifestyle, it’s difficult to remind myself to address my health.
Working with Jenna has given me the opportunity to work on aspects of myself, that I have always wanted to improve. She has given me the inspiration and energy to become a better version of myself. I’m surprising myself with my own humanity, which she has helped me find for myself. I am confident and excited that with Jenna’s advice and leadership, I’m happily working towards becoming the woman I’ve always dreamt to be.
Eileen - The Modern
When I joined As You See Fit, of course I wanted to lose weight, but what was more important to me was healing my relationship with my body, and with food. For years it was a battle with the scale, and what I would allow myself, and what I thought I deserved. The conversation with myself and my body was toxic, and ultimately led me no where positive.
What really touched me was the idea that all the years I was scolding and punishing myself, Jenna taught me that all my body was trying to do was relentlessly take care of me through it all. One of Jenna's many action steps over the course of our 1st 6 months of coaching together, was to have a loving conversation with my body for the first time. I told my body how grateful I was for all the effort she spent trying to protect me. I told my body she was beautiful. I told my body I was ok now and she could let go. I promised my body to never abuse her again, and that I would always nourish myself with whatever I desired. Honestly after that...the pounds have just fallen off! (15 going on 20 pounds!)
Today, with As You See Fit’s secret back pocket tools, I am completely in tune with what my body wants. I've never felt so harmonious and balanced in my entire life! As You See Fit has given me a fresh start! Thanks to Jenna, I entered my 30's the absolute best and most authentic version of myself!
Teresa - Pujol
I've been in an over weight YOYO for the past 4 years, fluctuating up and down over 15 lbs, I've been feeling so frustrated about that.
Even though It's been just a couple of months I can already feel the positive changes happening in my life, and that's all because of her. She has helped me to embrace my wants, my desires, to trust and to love life, as it comes, with it's ups and downs. I believe Jenna wants the best for me, and for all her other clients. If you want to embrace and love yourself and feel fresh, free, beautiful, strong, with tons of energy, Jenna is the Health Coach you WANT to have in your life.
MARIA - Eleven Madison Park
Jenna taught me to recognize the strength I had within myself, and to overcome the biggest obstacles I was facing as a bride-to-be.
I am a happier, fitter, more stable person now, and I owe it all to Jenna!
Michele - Principe
Before I started working with Jenna, I rarely ever made any of my own life choices. Where I went, what I did, what I ate and drank, how I slept and felt was all dictated by "my life." My career, social life, and family commitments all seemed to run my life for me and my day-to-day decisions easily got wrapped up in that. I was more susceptible to impulse and eager for quick fixes.
As soon as I started to practice with Jenna, I realized what a huge responsibility it was to take your wellness and health into your own hands. Almost a year later I can say I am no longer intimidated by that responsibility but I welcome, embrace, and cherish it. Jenna has empowered me to take my life back and make the choices me and my body want to make. My goals may differ time to time, but with Jenna as my coach I am happy to be back on the field everyday.
Bridget - Quality Meats
Working with Jenna has been like having the most genuine and enthusiastic cheerleader in my pocket all the time. Being a bit closed off, I wish I had realized this earlier in my journey with Jenna. It has been so valuable to celebrate every step forward, no matter how small.
Jenna has encouraged me to forgive myself, and take care of myself in a way no one else has ever suggested I do. She has been relentless in finding solutions and suggestions that work for me. Thank you for everything, Jenna!
NICOLE - Constellation Brands
Every bride should have Jenna as a health coach, to not only revitalize and lift them up, but also to start a healthy new life for the future!
I had a dream wedding. I felt fit, healthy, and alive the whole day through.
Chef Becky - the NoMad
When I first started the program, my focus was to be healthy not just physically, but mentally and emotionally in my relationships. Jenna showed me a different outlook on how to be healthy. She was always non-judgmental and open-minded to everything I brought to the table. She gave me an unbiased point of view that helped me think of the bigger picture, as an endless world of possibilities-rather than things just being black and white.
Jenna has given me the proper tools to better myself both physically and mentally. If it wasn't for her I'm pretty sure I'd still be that Chef complaining about all the “shoulds” instead of embracing the "wants",
Chloe - Pasquale Jones
Upon moving to New York, I was in a damaged headspace. I was putting myself down, picking apart every aspect of my body; the negativity was palpable. Jenna’s program helped me identify goals that I never really knew I needed. I began to embrace and love my body. I started to alter my verbiage, and the way I was speaking about myself and others, and truly started to motivate myself to nurture and care for ME physically, mentally and emotionally. Through As You See Fit, I have felt a massive change in my energy and enthusiasm.
I am growing to enjoy my relationship with food-but more importantly with myself. The positive mindsets, she has incorporated into my life, has influenced my relationships with the people I love the most. I have grown to love myself more than I ever could have imagined.
Jenna is one of the best cheerleaders, friends and confidants anyone could ask for. She is nurturing and compassionate, while challenging you to look beyond what you may think you need, and discover what you WANT and DESIRE. I have just scratched the surface with As You See Fit, and I am thrilled to continue to grow, blossom and become my best self!
Karissa - SAGA, Crown Shy
I want to start out by saying that Jenna is absolutely incredible. When I first started my As You See Fit journey the only thing I was concerned about was weight loss. Even though the program has changed my body, it has more importantly changed my mindset on not only myself but the way that I look at my life.
The thing I love most about Jenna and her program is that it is all on your terms. She never pushes you to do thing you are not ready for. She doesn't tell you what to do and doesn't critique you if you do something "wrong". Her support is the reason why the women at The NoMad and I have had such success. It's amazing to be 22 and be able to look at myself and feel secure and confident with the way I am. She has shown me how to really love myself which is the biggest win of all.
CHRISTY - The Modern
Jenna is a game changer. She's radiantly positive. She is the greatest cheerleader: fiercely loyal and consistently manifesting the best for those close to her. She is also very open-minded and certainly subscribes to the “one size fits one” philosophy. Health coaching is a challenge in any context, but she is able to succeed seemingly effortlessly in a city rife with unrealistic expectations of beauty. I’d give Jenna 5 out of 5 stars!
Dawn - Ci Siamo
Jenna helps me to find a way to make positive, healthy changes and choices that fit into my busy lifestyle. While this certainly applies to the things that I consume, it also includes encouraging me to think positively and do things that will ultimately make me a happier person.
When we talk, she is always upbeat, energetic, and is full of positive reinforcement. I think with her positive attitude and nurturing nature, the role of Health Coach is one she is born to play.
Kerry - Artist
When I first started working with Jenna, I was basically afraid to eat. I've had stomach/digestion problems for years that were seemingly caused by nothing and everything. Going out to eat, dinner parties, work lunch parties, any activity outside (and not within close proximity to a bathroom) caused me so much stress and anxiety, because I never knew how my body would react.
Jenna gave me recipes, advice, and tools that helped me approach eating with excitement instead of fear. My digestion responded in kind, and has calmed down considerably. Jenna is warm and supportive and will be there for you every step of the way.
Jessica - fashion industry
Jenna has helped change my life in many ways. Today I can say that I am now happier and healthier than I have ever been! Through Jenna's guidance, I have learned to nurture in fun healthy ways, and no longer see eating healthy and exercising as a chore.
She has introduced me to endless new foods and ways to be happier. I have made healthy lifestyle changes, that I will carry throughout my life. Jenna has helped me adjust to NYC and go after my career goals. I have opened my heart, and found an awesome guy! Did I mention I now have the dream job I have always wanted???
Jenna is an amazing Health Coach and can help you in so many areas of your life. Her positive attitude, constant encouragement, and eagerness to listen has been a blessing!
ELLIE - Syracuse University
In the past 2 months of working with Jenna, my mindset around health and my body has completely changed. Jenna teaches how to love and listen to your body. I have had a turbulent experience with self love, especially due to my art and profession. I feel like Jenna is helping me to look and feel the way I want to, while still having self acceptance and assurance.
Mercedes - luxury fashion designer
If this is only the beginning, I cannot wait to see the end.
Axa - COO, Capital Billing Services, Inc
While I've always loved good quality food, Jenna has taught me to nourish and enjoy it better. I no longer feel guilty about enjoying the food I love.
I've also learned the importance of self-care and self-love, which is hard to do when you have toddler, but Jenna brought awareness on how important that is so that I can better care for my loved ones. Jenna has taught me proper nourishment and I am now able to teach my daughter that. I can feel results in my body and mind from everything I've learned the past six months. Thank you again Jenna!
Jenna - Del Frisco’s
What I like about As You See fit, the most, is Jenna! She is the gift amidst these challenging times in our world right now.
PAIGE - The Nomad
Even though I have just begun Jenna's program, I can already see positive changes in my life. I am starting to appreciate my body more and enjoy the little imperfections too. She has given me new ways to think about food and has taught me some fun nutritional tricks as well. Jenna is a radiant person and having someone like her to talk to is an incredible outlet. She's the parent who isn't going to judge your life choices but instead tell you to embrace them and thrive.
MACKENZIE - film/tv writer
I write to offer my highest recommendation in support of As You See Fit. Jenna is an amazing health coach and mentor. She is vital, engaged, and insightful. She also possesses an excellent work ethic and an earnest desire to give her best to her clients and the As You See Fit Community.
This care and awareness allows clients to be our truest and most unique selves and encourages us to reach our highest potential.
Yvonne - The NoMad
I LOVE to eat! And I LOVE to be physical! I am a dancer, a kickboxing enthusiasts, I practice yoga regularly and itch to jog on the beach/boardwalk. As a performer AND woman I've always felt that there were standards and sizes I just couldn't measure up to. I've been up and down on the scales of life... AND the scale itself. And the back and forth is soooo tiring.
To be honest, I wasn't sure if I was going to "believe" or trust Jenna. I've been through too much to know that there isn't a magic pill to cure anything... I can honestly say I've started a new chapter. And while I lost a few pounds, the biggest and most rewarding accomplishment is noticing that my negative thoughts have quieted down.
I'm slowly finding little moments where I feel content and blessed, my overall energy levels have climbed.... WITH LESS COFFEE!!! I'm in my own skin.... And wholeheartedly loving it. I'm sleeping more and better too! I'm actually fitting more things that I love to do in my day....and all through positive, encouraging, and gentle self talk.
It's amazing what little reminders can do when they come from someone who's informed, someone who's on your side, from someone who's been in your shoes, & and from someone who wants to see you be as happy with yourself, quite possibly even more, than you see fit for yourself!
FAZIA - hairstylist
Before you Jenna, I was just surviving. Now I’m living, and I feel as though I can breathe again.
Matt - Syracuse University
Thank you Jenna for coming to speak to us at Syracuse University. I found your lecture incredibly intriguing and helpful because you were talking about something so relevant, health as a way of life. (something we too often neglect)
In specific, your positivity and success story of your OWN health, made it so accessible and gives a lot of hope- so thank you for that! Even though we are all so busy, you definitely gave guidance that can help make our crazy lives a little healthier.
EVIE - actress
Working with Jenna has been a completely transformative experience for me. My goals for the first 3 months were to lose 10 lbs. I’m not sure how many pounds I have actually lost, since the biggest thing I have lost was my attachment to the number on the scale. And for this, I am ten times more grateful than any silly number.
Throughout my time working with Jenna, she has guided me to find ways to open up space in my life for what I want to do and be, and as soon as I began to release, the jobs starting coming. I am holding back less and less of myself, and instead, feeling great about putting myself forward as I am now, loving that person, and not wishing I looked a different way.
I would recommend Jenna to anyone and everyone. She works tirelessly, and her attitude is incredible. She’s supportive, funny, truthful, and observant. I look forward to my calls with her every week.
Dorian - Estée Lauder Analyst
My top three goals upon starting this program were choosing and creating a healthier life and lifestyle for myself, choosing happiness, and learning how to create my own happiness rather than relying on someone else to make me happy.
Jenna was able to help me work toward these goals by constantly and consistently supplying me with caring support. Throughout the program she has been non-judgemental and supportive of every choice I make and every step of my journey. She has helped me to become more optimistic and not be as hard on myself.
LEXIE - Syracuse University
It’s really nice to be a part of As You See Fit! Jenna supports me and gives me tools to take better care of myself and look at fitness and nutrition in a different way.
I think that Jenna’s outlook, training, and programs help me to elevate my wellness.
Chioma - The Nomad
Before I began my coaching with Jenna, I thought that I would be able to handle my nutrition and well-being alone. I was running on the treadmill twenty plus hours a week, and I was exhausted.
Soon I was a part of the As You See Fit community and I looked forward to our sessions. I think Jenna's way of guiding without judgement, and she supports that your well-being is the most important factor to your health and nutrition. This was a dramatic point I missed in my own diet and workouts. I felt BETTER and had more energy! I lost more weight under As You See Fit than ever before with my previous way of life. But the loss of weight was only the icing on the cake!
With Jenna’s Health Coaching, I was able to accomplish major life goals that always seemed so far in the future, but with her guidance they became a reality! In truth, Jenna is a miracle worker.
Liz - The NoMad
I truly feel GREAT to be a part of As You See Fit with Jenna (after coaching with her for over 4 years!) and my journey on to continued health and happiness! I think I have made the best choice by doing so! :-)
THANK YOU Jenna for your love and support and sparkle always! I am super excited to start the next chapter with you and get a better handle on my health, thank you for splashing in the confidence for me to do so from your loving guidance. You truly have taught me so much and I am working towards bettering myself because of YOU. <3 <3 <3
Shelia - Franchise Owner
Jenna took me on a open minded, spiritual journey. You can be healthier, happier, and free to eat the foods that are going to help you lose weight and at the same time, feel happy with the results. Jenna will guide you and be there for you.
Thanks to Jenna I feel great about the way I choose to eat my food, free and at peace. I follow up with Jenna between sessions, with questions on shopping, preparing foods, and more natural online products to purchase, that I may not be able to find in my local store. Thank You Jenna for guiding my personal self to a better place!
Gretchen - yoga teacher
10 years ago I was unhappy and overweight. I thought “I will be happy when I lose weight”. In started where everyone starts, diet and exercise, two things I had been told would solve the problem. I lost 30 lbs. that way and was happy. For a little while.
Then the weight crept back on. I had lost the weight before but clearly for the wrong reason because it didn’t stay off. But I had proven I could do it and this time, I wanted to do it for the right reason – for me.
Then I found Jenna.
I knew she’d been in my shoes. My biggest hurdle with other Health Coaches I know is that, while they are lovely people and good friends, they have never been heavy a day in their life! How could they relate to me and my struggle? I jumped in with both feet and will be eternally grateful that I did.
With Jenna’s help I have learned to love myself and this beautiful vessel I have been given to live this life in. Through her thoughtful insight and contagious enthusiasm, I looked at all aspects of my life and began to make changes to nourish and support myself. Exercise is fun when I WANT to do it, not because I "should" do it. In fact, the “shoulds” have changed to WANTS. Food is no longer an enemy. And the scale? I hardly look at it anymore.
In the 9 months that I’ve worked with Jenna, there have been such major shifts in my life, that I am happy. Good and truly happy. And it has nothing to do with my weight. Now isn’t that a shocker? I recommend Health Coaching with Jenna, to anyone interested in changing how they view their relationship to food and their body.
