oh hey!
I'M JENNA.
My passion for this work was sparked by my own need for it. What I have learned through a dark depression, an endless emotional eating binge cycle, and years of self-loathing is that it is really hard to go at it alone.

For as long as I can remember, I used food as comfort. My unhealthy relationship with food resulted in a struggle with obesity. When I graduated from university with a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture in 2010, my weight had climbed to 295 pounds.
The day I stepped on the scale and saw that number staring back at me was a turning point in my life. It was at that moment that I vowed I would never reach 300 pounds...

At the end of grade one, my teacher sent us home on summer vacation with two photos. One from the first day of class and one from the end of the school year. I remember the moment clearly. I looked at those side by side photos and the judgment entered.
I once craved a banana for 6 months before I “allowed” myself to eat it.
At the time, it was in my "no foods" which now seems absurd to me. Because it's a freakin' banana. I mean, yes there's fructose (aka fruit sugar) in bananas but there's also fibre and key micronutrients. So go forth and eat your banana!

Jenna has a great approach!
The Love Your Body program helped me gain insight into the barriers that were holding me back from meeting my goals, and being more comfortable in my body. I loved the supportive nature of the group setting, and the weekly group coaching, as this helped keep me on track and accountable to the goals I had set for myself. Jenna has a great approach to teaching mindfulness, self-awareness, and self-compassion, and I really enjoyed working with her on this.
