I am the creator and owner of Life Renovated Health Coaching. I run a private practice in Bergen County NJ, supporting clients from this area and throughout the country. This work is my passion and it brings me great joy to guide others on their path to wellness! My mission is to help individuals find out which foods and lifestyle activities truly nourish them, so they are able to rebuild their life beyond their dreams!
I have been a health practitioner for over 12 years, helping my clients heal themselves physically and nutritionally. My background started as a licensed massage therapist, spa educator, nutritional supplement distributor and weight loss coach. My prior work experience consisted of working with a diverse population at Hackensack University Medical Center, as a LMT. I've also been blessed with working with individuals with developmental disablitities, teaching them life skills and asssiting them in coping with their food issues. It's been a lifetime passion of mine to help people find ways to heal themselves and when the time was right I took the next step for me professionally by becoming a Certified Holistic Health Coach!
I am a 2007 graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and Columbia University's Teachers College in New York City. I also successfully completed the second year graduate program from IIN, and I am board certified with the American Association of Drugless Practitioners.
The last couple of years I have been learning more about the health food industry by working for a local health food store. Most recently I had a blast experimenting with the chef postition at this store preparing healthy organic foods for my community.
Nothing makes me happier than helping people connect with their true purpose and reclaim their health in a fun way. I would love the opportunity to create a completely personalized “blueprint for health" for you and get started with your personal life renovations.

Testimonials
Jennifer could not have picked a better name for her business...she really did renovate my life!
I went to Jennifer to get a handle on my diet, only to discover that the food I was putting in my mouth was second to the "spiritual food" that I was lacking. It was an entirely new concept for me. Jennifer helped me realize that there are many types of nourishment that we need to function fully and reach our potential, and my work with her enabled me to grow on a lot of different levels-emotionally, spiritually, intellectually, creatively, physically. She is an unwavering source of encouragement and compassion. I made some big decisions during my time with Jennifer, decisions I'm not sure I could have reached on my own; I took a huge step forward into a master's degree program after years of questioning and procrastination, and I am eternally grateful to Jennifer for helping me clarify my goals and develop a strategy to meet them. What started as an endeavor to clean up my diet took an unexpected but much needed turn, and it really worked out for the best...everything fell into place.
Jennifer's kind spirit and gentle soul suit her perfectly in her role as a holistic health coach. Making that first call to her was one of the smartest things I've done in a long time!

I worked with Jennifer this past year, and it was a breath of fresh air. I have been a wellness practitioner for 10 years, but never fully grasped the benefit of working with someone outside of my circle. Right from the get go I felt Jennifer's sincerity and trust; I knew that she really cared about me. She respected everything that I said, she listened to me with her heart and she helped me accept the moment of my life that I was in. Many practitioners that I worked with in the past pushed me to follow their agenda for me; I never once felt this from Jennifer. She listened to what I wanted and helped me take the right action steps to get there. I couldn't have asked for a better health coach! If I compared working with her to food I would say that she is the heart and soul of a home cooked indigenous meal, while at the same time she has the beauty and grace of a gourmet meal from a fine restaurant. Through working with Jennifer, I re-found love for my life and that is amazing! Thank You Jennifer!

What I learned from Jennifer was profound. I learned how to obtain optimal health by eating and cooking healthy, nutritious, whole foods. I no longer suffer from digestive problems after eating. My blood sugar has finally stabilized. I now have vibrant energy instead of anxious energy. I now sleep better than I have in years, and I have inner calmness and resourcefulness in the midst of pressure. I finally feel that I have control of my life with ease.

Since I began working with Jennifer I have gained such insight into myself. It goes beyond food, she has given me the tools to understand what foods will make me feel the way I want to feel. I'm able to pay attention to the subtle hints my body gives after consuming a food, rather than mindlessly eating whatever I can shove in my face and then complaining when I feel awful and gain weight. She has give me the power to look within and see what unacknowledged feelings are causing me to crave sweets!! She gave me my POWER back!

Jennifer is incredibly patient, honest and compassionate. She has held me accountable, just as promised, but always supported me and reminded me to be gentle with myself, even if I didn’t follow through on a goal. She asked me the questions that guided me inward to really dig deeply and figure out what I needed, which strengthened my own intuition. As a result of working with her my entire quality of life: from what I eat to how I live has been renovated. Thank you, Thank you!

Jennifer as a health coach was fantastic. I could always feel her really taking in and understanding everything I would express. She creates a very safe place for allowing whatever needs to arise to do so. She has a wonderful emotional depth and it was easy to be honest and really open up to her about anything. Our sessions were about much more than just food choices! It's been great to have her as a support; I feel she genuinely cared about me and my achieving my goals. All in all, she's an amazing person to have rooting for you, guiding you, and being there for you. Thanks, Jennifer!

I'm so glad I started this journey with Jennifer. Every session was productive. It was through working with her that I was able to focus on changes I wanted to create and watch them evolve. She guided me to live my life from a place of strength and positivity rather than fear and worry. Health, spirituality, and relationships were a few of the goals I wanted to reach on my journey. With Jennifer's remarkable, compassionate, support and life changing tools, I was able to overcome these personal struggles. She helped me tremendously and I am forever grateful!
