Coaching provides accompaniment during challenging times. Whether we are discerning next
steps, wrestling with questions of purpose and meaning, grieving life’s losses, or striving to care
for ourselves so we can serve others, all of us need accompaniment. Coaches meet this need,
walking alongside clients and providing confidential and non-judgmental listening.
Jen is a professionally trained coach and is credentialed with the International Coaching
Federation. She is also a Certified Grief Coach and a Mayo Clinic Trained Wellness Coach. Feel
free to reach out to her with questions. She’d love to learn more about your hopes for coaching.
- Life Coaching – Jen coaches people contemplating (or in the midst of) life transitions.
She also loves partnering with leaders who are working to reconnect with their purpose or
seeking a new sense of mission. Through the coaching process, Jen provides space for
you to speak freely and a place to listen to the guidance of the Spirit.
- Grief Coaching – Our losses, whether living losses or the death of loved ones, must be
mourned in order to live fully. A grief coach listens deeply so that clients can express the
full range of complicated emotions involved with grief. Jen is trained to ride the roller
coaster with clients, providing a witness for the difficult but necessary work of mourning.
- Wellness Coaching – A wellness coach is not a medical professional and will not give you
advice. They will, however, help you define what wellness means to you and help you
connect your values and strengths with a vision for a healthy future. As a Wellness
Coach, Jen provides accompaniment and support as you work toward health goals and
grow in your ability to make lasting change. Learn more here.
