Jenn

The path that led Jenn to holistic health was a tough one. She originally began looking for alternative health practices after the death of her parents in 2006 and a terrible car accident in 2007. It took almost a decade for her to pursue education as a holistic nutritionist, which led to further study as a Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner and as a DONA certified birth doula. Her studies helped her to overcome her own reproductive health issues and now her focus is on helping couples to heal their reproductive health and conceive naturally.

Jenn’s original career path was as a Veterinary Technician working with animals for over a decade. She now enjoys agility with her dog, Joseph, and riding her horse, Nacho, in her spare time.
