There’s 1 spot remaining in my 200-hour Holistic Health Practitioner Mentorship.

This isn’t just another certification.
This is where knowledge becomes embodiment.
Where you don’t just learn digestive health
you learn how to see the body differently.
To understand root cause.
To connect spirit, mind, and body in a way most practitioners never do.
Inside this program, I walk closely with you
through clinical practice, testing methodology, and real client work....
so you leave not just informed, but equipped and confident.
This is for the practitioner who knows:
there is more to healing than what we’ve been taught.
And you’re ready to step into that.
✨ 1:1 mentorship
✨ 200 hours of deep, applied learning
✨ Real clinical integration
✨ Certification upon completion
I keep this intentionally small because depth matters.
If you’ve been feeling the pull to do this work…
this is your moment.
Message me “MENTORSHIP” and I’ll share the details.

When I walked away from conventional cancer treatment, doctors told me I had less than three years and that prayer, fasting, lifestyle changes, and inner healing wouldn’t work. But here I am, thriving years later: living proof of the power of faith and transformation. Now, having defied those odds and walked my own healing journey, I help others do the same.

On May 20th, I’ll be leading the second cohort of my The Foundations program, guiding people through the same foundational inner healing work I didfaith, lifestyle, and healing from the inside out.

The Day I Tried to End My Life

I was born into—and born for—addiction.
Its in my bloodline. These photos are me during my dysregulated years 9 years ago on the day I decided to walk into the Gulf of Mexico and end my life. I hardly recognize her and I love her. Posting them I shed new tears. Tears of gratitude.

I was the life of the party for years, but dead inside, deeply disconnected and lonely ( freeze to fight/flight responses most of my life) using alcohol and excess to cover up the pain I carried.

For years, I leaned on overspending, alcohol, even drugs, thinking they soothed my nervous system. But they didn’t. Almost ten years ago, when I was diagnosed with cancer, I surrendered my heart to Jesus Christ. But overcoming addiction wasn’t instant. Through consistent practice and training my nervous system even when some moments felt like failure I kept going. Every time I got back up, I was still training. Training to recover the identity God gave me. And eventually, I was set free.

Now, when I’m dysregulated, I lean on faith to choose what truly helps.

To understand dysregulation you must FIRST recognize your state: fight, flight, freeze, or fawn and then pick the tool to accompany prayer and surrender.

Lets break it down

Dysregulation can happen on both ends of the nervous system. When you’re stuck in fight-or-flight, that’s your sympathetic side in overdrive. When you’re frozen or shut down, that’s the parasympathetic side in a stuck, collapsed mode. A healthy system flows between both states when needed and a healthy calm parasympathetic state is ideal.

What Fight/Flight feels like- often feel on edge, anxious, or restless. Your heart might race, you could feel tense or irritable, and there’s usually this urge to act whether that means confronting something or wanting to escape quickly.
Fight or flight tools- Calming practices like slowing down breathing, soaking to worship or soffeggio tones.

Freeze feels like- often feel stuck or numb like you can’t move forward or make decisions. It might look like zoning out, procrastinating, or feeling disconnected from your emotions. You may feel paralyzed, like you just can’t respond to what’

Freeze feels like- often feel stuck or numb like you can’t move forward or make decisions. It might look like zoning out, procrastinating, or feeling disconnected from your emotions. You may feel paralyzed, like you just can’t respond to what’s happening.
Freeze? Gentle somantic movement, shaking, walking in nature

Fawning feels like- you continually people-please to avoid conflict or discomfort. You might quickly agree, apologize excessively, or put your own needs aside to keep others happy. You may prioritize external approval, often at the expense of your own boundaries or well-being.
Fawn? Firm safety affirming boundaries and PRIORITIZING YOU.

So if you know somethings OFF assess where you are and focus on the tools that will help. If you trying breathwork and you are in a FREEZE state it likely will make you more disconnected. It requires MOVEMENT. If you are in fight/flight and go for a run 🏃‍♂️ it wont help your nervous system in the long run. Train yourself appropriately.

Training means consistent effort toward a GOAL.

And when we anchor in Christ, we can find true peace and adding in tools helps us on the journey home.

If this resonates, let me help walk you home.

04/24/2026

Everything gets a hallelujah in recovery—
and right now… I mean that more than ever.
I’ve been in a valley.
There have been so many mountains in front of me all at once—
grief, uncertainty, pressure, the unknown.
And if I’m honest… there were a few days where I felt myself spiraling.
Not completely lost—
but enough to feel it.
The thoughts.
The weight in my body.
That pull to disconnect, to check out, to go quiet.
And this time… I recognized something deeper.
That disconnection?
It wasn’t random.
It was my nervous system slipping into freeze—
a pattern I once trained my mind and body to default to when things felt like too much.
And that’s the part we don’t talk about enough.
Sometimes what feels like weakness…
is actually a learned survival response.
But here’s what shifted for me:
I saw it.
I didn’t judge it.
I didn’t let it define me.
I didn’t stay there.
Because recognizing the pattern is everything.
For a moment… I felt it.
But I didn’t build a home there.
My faith anchored me back in.
Not perfectly.
Not all at once.
But gently… steadily… I came back.
Back to truth.
Back to God.
Back to remembering who I am and what I stand on.
And that’s recovery.
It’s not that you never enter the valley…
it’s that you learn how to come back out of it.
So yes—
hallelujah for the days I felt strong.
But also…
hallelujah for the days I didn’t—
and still chose to return.
Because even here…
especially here…
God is faithful. 🦋🙏

Next up...what to do when we get stuck when our nervous system dysregulation has us disconnected from life and living

If I’m being honest…fear did try to get in.

Not in a big, obvious way.
But in the quiet moments.
In the in-between spaces.
A thought here.
A feeling there.
A subtle shift in my body that said, “something isn’t right.”
That’s the thing about fear…
it rarely shows up as panic at first.
It shows up as logic.
As urgency.
As “just being realistic.”
And for a moment—it almost fooled me.
But I’ve done this work long enough to recognize it.
Fear disconnects you.
It pulls you out of your body.
Out of your faith.
Out of your alignment.
And if you’re not paying attention…
you start making decisions from it.
That’s where people lose themselves.
Not in the big breakdowns—
but in the small moments where they stop checking in.
So I paused.
I didn’t push harder.
I didn’t override it.
I got still enough to ask:
Where is this coming from?
And the answer was clear…
it wasn’t truth.

So I came back again with GODS wisdom

Back to my spirit — anchored in God, not circumstance.
Back to my mind — choosing clarity over chaos.
Back to my body — regulating, grounding, listening.
Because fear may try to enter…
but it doesn’t get to stay.
Not when you’re aware.
Not when you’re rooted.
Not when you choose differently.
This is the real work.
Not avoiding hard seasons…
but walking through them without letting fear take the lead.

I am walking like Esther did . ..

Faith doesn’t pause when life gets complex.
Right now, my life is full.
We’ve just walked through the loss of my mother-in-law.
My business is shifting and scaling—but also slowing in ways I didn’t expect.
My husband is navigating health challenges.
And we’re still not back in our home as it undergoes major renovations from flooding.
There are a lot of moving pieces.
And if I’m honest—this is where most people abandon themselves.
They push harder.
They disconnect spiritually.
They override their body.
They operate from stress, fear, and urgency.
But this is exactly where the work I teach becomes real.
I come back to my foundations:
Spirit. Staying anchored in faith, even when things feel uncertain.
Mind. Choosing thoughts that create steadiness, not panic.
Body. Supporting my nervous system, gut health, and energy so I can actually carry what life is asking of me.
Because leadership isn’t proven in the easy seasons.
It’s revealed in the complex ones.
And what I’m reminded of right now is this:
You don’t need a perfect environment to lead well.
You need a regulated system, a clear mind, and a grounded spirit.
That’s what allows you to move through challenge without losing yourself in it.
This is the work.
And it matters more in seasons like this than ever.

Be like Esther
Love
Jen

04/18/2026

There was a time in my life when everything stopped. When I heard the word cancer, nothing else mattered the way it used to. Not the schedule, not the expectations, not the version of life I had been trying to hold together.

In that moment, I was faced with something deeper: What is my body trying to tell me? And more importantly… am I willing to listen?

That season changed everything for me and not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. I began to see that the body doesn’t just break randomly. It responds. It reflects. It reveals what we carry, what we suppress, and where we’re out of alignment.

And I realized something that shifted the entire trajectory of my life: I didn’t just need to fight what was happening in my body, I needed to understand it. To partner with it. To come back into alignment with how God designed it to function.
That journey didn’t just lead to healing...it led to a calling. A calling to go deeper than what I had been taught, to question the model, and to study the body through a completely different lens; one that includes spirit, soul, and body.

Over the years, through both my own healing and working with hundreds of clients, I’ve seen the same truth again and again: the body is always communicating, we just haven’t been taught how to listen.

That’s why I’ve created this. I’m opening enrollment for my Holistic Health Practitioner Certification—a 200-hour, one-on-one mentorship experience. This is not about learning more information. This is about learning how to see. To understand the root of what’s happening in the body—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Inside this training, I’ll walk closely with you as you learn how to decode the gut-brain connection and body systems, understand emotional and spiritual roots of disease, regulate the nervous system and create true internal safety, use practical healing tools like detox, herbal, somatic and breathwork practices, and step fully into your identity as a practitioner with clarity and confidence.
This is for the person who knows there is more than symptom management, more than surface-level solutions, more than just getting by. It’s for the person who feels called to understand the body differently and to help others do the same.

Because this work is not just about healing symptoms. It’s about restoration, alignment, and returning to the design we were created to live in.

We begin June 17th. Spots are limited, and this is a close, one-on-one mentorship experience. If this is stirring something in you, pay attention to that.

Message me “CERTIFICATION” or comment below, and I’ll send you the details.

If you don’t know who you are… the world will tell you.

And right now, the world is loud.

Fear is loud.
Scarcity is loud.
Confusion is loud.
And if I’m being honest… even I’ve felt it lately.
Not because I’m plugged into it,
but because you can sense it. It’s in the atmosphere. It’s in people.
And this is exactly why I come back here—again and again.
Not to more information.
Not to more strategies.
But to truth.
To who God says I am.
To how He designed the body to function.
To what it actually looks like to live anchored—spirit, mind, and body.
Because if our identity isn’t rooted,
we drift… slowly, subtly… into fear, into striving, into confusion.
This is the work I’m being called deeper into right now.
And it’s the work inside The Foundations.
Not surface-level change.
Real alignment. Real grounding. Real return.
If you’ve been feeling it too…
this is your invitation.
We begin May 20.
