Even From the Pain of Loss, a S.P.A.R.K.* Can Be Born

When you lose your best friend to cancer, it’s hard because it’s a wake up call & the life you’re living can suddenly feel less meaningful than it did before. So I help you define what’s important and confidently create a life without fears of regrets or missed opportunities.

I See You

A photo of myself peering with one eye out through the heart shape I've made with my two hands.

You who has spent your life worrying about everyone else’s expectations, and working so hard to please.

You who has begun to awaken and acknowledge the lightening pace of life happening on this side of forty-five.

You who has been living with that feeling of unrest because you don’t know how to be the person everyone expects you to be AND emerge as the person you’ve always known yourself to BE.

Then you lose your best friend to cancer and suddenly finding meaning in your life feels even more urgent, and living who you aren’t is no longer an option.

Of course you’re worried about how the REAL YOU will be received after all of these years, but hiding your light is no longer serving you because you finally understand how finite life is and know you can no longer wait for the “right time” to let it Shine.

What you need to understand is that the moment you accept your S.P.A.R.K.* and stop trying to hide its brilliance under worry and reasons, you will finally be FREE.

This is where I come in, as an ICF certified coach trained in IPEC’s COR.E energy concepts. I know how to hold the space so you can accept & honor who you are and love her fully into being.

Feed your S.p.a.r.k.*

Strength
Passion
Authentic Self
Radiance
Knowing

Your S.P.A.R.K.* is the purest version of you, and it’s time to show her the love and respect she deserves. I believe in you.

A Little About Me

I lost my best friend to cancer in 2021, two days after the 13th anniversary of losing my father to the same disease. I remember at that time being hit with the awareness that the life I was living needed to change, and how scared I was to follow what I knew was my next path.
Becoming a coach has been a part of what my S.P.A.R.K.* asked me to do, and considering I have always been someone who people randomly tell their problems to on the street, it makes complete sense that it would become my calling to support people through life’s transitions & challenges. I was even deemed a “Natural Helper” when I was in grade school. - Read More -

Testimonials

  • "Working with Jen was incredible. From the very first moment I connected with Jen I immediately felt safe, heard and was truly comfortable being vulnerable. Her natural ability to be fully present and to actively and intuitively listen, made each session successful both in bringing awareness to blocks I didn’t realize were there and in allowing me to see things from a different perspective without any judgement. By the end of each coaching session I always felt we created a clear roadmap with reasonable action steps I could take to achieve my goals. Jen has such a generous spirit and compassionate nature- highly recommend her as a coach!"

    — Tobie L., West Hollywood, Ca —

  • "Being coached by Jen is like being carried by a warm breeze to your desired destination. Jen's presence and coaching style are grounded, inviting, and non-judgemental, which allows me to feel safe being honest and enables insights to emerge organically. My sessions with Jen have resulted in profound breakthrough, which has allowed me to get out of my own way and make meaningful change in my life."

    — Jessica Skupien, Life & Leadership Coach —

  • "First and foremost, Jen is an amazing human being. She creates an authentic sense of safety and warmth that allows me the space to explore and discover without fear of judgment or unsolicited advice. Jen asks great questions and has really helped me get to the heart of some beliefs that have limited my choices in life. Some of these things I didn't even know I was carrying around. One in particular that has colored decisions ever since I can remember. I was able to realize this because of the true care and concern Jen shared. She gave me permission to go there through her presence and for that, I am grateful"

    — Jaime Sims McBride, Nevada —

  • “I worked with Jen during a period of converging life transitions, personal and professional. Jen’s supportive and intuitive style helped me clarify my values and uncover how I really want to show up even during difficult times. I credit my work with Jen to the successful navigation of a particularly difficult employee situation, in addition to increased self-awareness and accountability.”

Fearless Forward

Date of Next Intro Workshop TBD

The journey of our lives requires us to create relationships with two parts that reside within us, the Explorer and the Guardian. One of them is dedicated to seeking what is possible for us, and the other tries to protect us from shame and regret.

Making friends with these two internal entities is how we create successful outcomes in our lives, and this workshop is all about learning to create balance between their seemingly opposing opinions.


The Workshop
So how do we bring these two entities within us from a full 15 round fight, to a collaborative relationship?

1.  Learn their language from a place of curiosity without judgement.
2. Journal what they are trying to tell you.
3. Calibrate your compass by integrating their input and then learn to move forward.

The VIP crew will also have a 1:1 coaching appointment with me to put dedicated attention towards your next steps.

What Coaching IS…

Coaching is fairly new to the scene of self care, and can easily be confused with therapy, but they are inherently different.

My quick description is that Coaching is a tool to help you get where you know you want to go in life, and Therapy offers the support you need when you don’t have the strength or the resources to look ahead.

I love educating people about Coaching so I created a whole FAQ page that’s dedicated to the questions I get about what I love to do.

A large wooden boat is suspended on aupport structures, with a sign that reads 'Do Not Give Up' in front of it. The boat is in a boatyard or repair area, surrounded by trees and fencing.
