Hi, I’m Jennifer, and I believe you’re an incredible woman capable of creating a meaningful holiday experience that brings you joy. Let’s partner on how you can come home to yourself this season.
After you book, you’ll receive a confirmation email with a brief questionnaire. Your responses help me prepare for our conversation and ensure we make the most of our time together.
If you’re feeling:
Angry, anxious, or sad at the thought of the holidays
Disconnected from joy
Guilty for wanting space, rest, or anything, really
Unseen or unsupported
Exhausted from holding the emotional temperature of the household
Unsure how to create balance that actually sticks
You’re in the right place.
“Jennifer has an intuitive way of helping people. She can always tell when there’s another layer behind the words or stories I’m saying, and she’s willing to lean into the tough conversations and draw out what’s truly important. She creates a safe space for me to look deep at my mothering, my marriage, and my re-parenting of myself. Working with Jennifer brings light into my dark spots, and that’s why she’s great! ”
About Me:
I’m a mom of three, who had a vision for her family that did not include rage, depression, or chronic anxiety.
In 2006, after the birth of my first child, postpartum anxiety and depression side-swiped me like a toddler with a toy basket.
Everything I thought I knew about myself got dumped upside down.
Which was very confusing because the only thing I ever wanted was to be a mom. I taught prenatal and postnatal yoga. I worked as a birth doula. I was an outdoor preschool teacher. I thought I was well-prepared.
When my daughter was born, I was ready to love her with everything I had. And I did. However, I was NOT ready for the deluge of intrusive thoughts, exhaustion-that-led-to-rage, and finally depression that took me down for months. Resentment against my husband began to build. I was disappointed with the mom I had become.
Looking back, I felt alone when I was supposed to be happy. The crushing vulnerability of loving someone so helpless, so small, and so pure made it hard to admit my feelings. I was grateful to be a mom, but I didn’t know how to care for my baby and re-parent myself.
Helping women come home to themselves, without abandoning who they are at their core, is an honor.
Now, I’ve got a tween and two teens who I find fascinating and fun. I live with my family in Kingston, WA a short ferry ride from Seattle. You can find my writing at Tideland Magazine, Conscious Classroom, and Parent Map.
