About Me

My name is Jen and I am a mom of FIVE amazing little boys {including a set of twins}. I've been with my hubby since I was 19 and our large family of 7 lives right outside of Washington, D.C. I'm a former 2nd grade teacher turned online health & fitness coach {or as I like to call it---a MOMentreprenur}. Like most moms...my life can be CRAZY, CHAOTIC, and darn right MESSY. However, I strive every day to life a life full of BALANCE.  Taking care of myself from the inside on out is the best GIFT I can give myself, my friends, & most importantly...my family! <3

Has it always been like that?? No, not even CLOSE.

Let me be the first to tell you that having 5 boys in 5 years was NOT easy. Pregnancy is a beautiful experience and it is incredible what our bodies can do.  However, I gained 40-50+lbs with all 4 of my pregnancies....and believe me, none of them came out weighing 50lbs!.  They ranged from 5lbs. 11 oz. to 8lbs. of adorableness. ;)  

So that left me with a lot of extra weight and zero muscle tone.
Was it worth it? ABSOLUTELY!! However, I took advantage of the couch and comfort foods and didn't look back.

I became very uncomfortable in my own skin. Getting back to my pre baby body was HARD.  A year after the birth of my twins, and my "skinny jeans" were still collecting dust behind my comfy yoga pants. Now don't get me wrong, this momma still ROCKs those yoga pants on the daily today---but it's a choice and not the only option. And don't even get me started on my anxiety levels! I suffer with anxiety to begin with, and I was at a point where it was soaring through the roof. I was wearing so many hats, but I didn't have on the one that made me ME. I put everyone else first, and that left nothing to give back to myself.  

Just like you, I knew there was a BOLD & BEAUTIFUL woman inside that was DYING to emerge.  I knew I deserved to wake up each day, live life to the fullest, and to quit being STUCK where I was.

Did I have to CHANGE what I was doing?? You betcha. So what did I do??


I started my first Beachbody Program---TurboFire and joined my first online Beachbody Challenge Group.  Not only did I have a quick, easy program to do at-home, I had a coach {just like me!} that kept me accountable for my goals. I started eating clean, whole foods {portion control} and began to fuel it with SUPERFOODS---my Shakeology!.  I started FINALLY feeling like ME again. I was able to shed the pounds, bust out those "skinny jeans" and was able to keep up with my boys!

So for anyone thinking they can't be where they want to be, or maybe you are a momma out there feeling disappointed because you didn't bounce right back after baby---take a deep breath and realize it's NORMAL and you are definitely not alone!! Starting something NEW can feel scary and uncomfortable....but that to me outweighs feelings of being STUCK. You choose which UNCOMFORTABLE you want to feel! 💕

And I've learned that making a CHANGE is so much easier to do with OTHERS. The accountability really makes a difference. So, I'm looking for others to invest in themselves and go "ALL IN" with me.

It’s all within reach.
I’ve been where YOU are, which is exactly why I want to help you move forward. Through my coaching, I’ve helped hundreds of women rediscover their confidence – lose their momma belly and find the BALANCE in their life to live it to the fullest!!
