My journey into the wellness world began in university when I was studying Physical Education and human movement. Anatomy and Physiology were fascinating and started me on the path I am traveling today. In 2012 while I was teaching group fitness classes I noticed changes in my body. I lacked my usually energy levels, my muscles were shrinking while I was still lifting weights regularly, and I started reacting to food I never had before. I began the investigative journey which took me 8 years, 9 diagnosis and 2 surgeries to get to the root cause. I was gifted to be working with a homeopathic doctor who didn't know the word quit and I will be forever grateful for her dedication. During the journey I dove deep into the world of auto immune illness, the microbiome, toxic exposure and endocrine disputing chemicals. I wanted to do everything I could to feel better. I and rooted in my mission to be of service, and to help people cut through the noise when it comes to their health. It does not have to take years to feel your best, and together we can re program what wellness looks like for you. I believe that we should treat the individual as a whole and know that healing involves not only the physical but the emotional. Together we will plant the seeds for tomorrow! Coach Jen
Its officially time for holiday travel season!
With my family split between Canada and the States we are often preparing to hit the sky to spend the season with each other. One of my biggest stress factors is the fear of getting a bug before or during the trip, and not having the energy to enjoy the festivities to their fullest. Over the years I have found out what works best for us (hubs included), and now I would like to share it with you in hopes it helps you stay germ free this year.
5 things I do to stay healthy while traveling (start at least a week prior to your travel)
Twice now while I was about to take off, the plane got grounded on the tarmac. Both times I did not have food with me and found myself after very long delays in a food emergency. I vowed to never be in that position again. To help you out here is my shortlist of travel snacks you will find with me on the plane or in the car.
P.S. I avoid airport food whenever possible due to my food allergies and the risk.
5 Travel Snacks you will find in my bag
Wishing you the Happiest and Healthiest Holiday Season from My Family to Yours.

My goodness February disappeared like a shallow breath. I find as I get older that time moves faster and I can’t keep up. The last four weeks have been full of many wonderful changes for my family and it has definitely kept us on our toes. My parents have embarked on a new journey in their life, selling their home of 20 years. I am thankful that I get to be here to help them as they pack up their memories and create space to build new ones. It hasn’t been without its challenges. Taking stock...
Love is in the air, or at least on the brain. In February we get bombarded with ideas of romance and gifts (maybe chocolate), and we can often lose track of our actual needs vs what society is telling us we should want. Like we must have a partner who showers us with affection for one day out the year and if that doesn't happen we are failing. Guess what, I'm here to tell you that is complete BS. Valentines day is a religious holiday in origins and had nothing to do with romance. Now we refer...
So its January and diet culture is running rampant. Every year we see companies set out to get you to buy into the quick fix via shaming language.

"Body positivity is a social movement and mindset that advocates for the acceptance and celebration of all body types, shapes, sizes, and appearances. It encourages individuals to embrace their bodies as they are and promotes the idea that everyone deserves respect...
