Introducing Jenny English, CWC member and small business owner. Her work dovetails with our mission at Collins Wellness Center to make our community healthy - one individual at a time.

Hi Everyone! 👋🏻



My name is Jenny English, and I am excited to serve the community as the newest member of the CWC Wellness board. I'm a health and nutrition coach at A Well+Fed Life. I'm all about empowering people to own their health through diet & exercise, education, and community support.



A little bit about me…I am from a small town like this one (LeGrand, IA) and a proud ISU graduate for my bachelor's and master's degrees. Go Cyclones! I served in the Iowa Army National Guard for 9 years with 1 deployment and spent the last 10 years in animal health research. I recently moved to Maxwell and have been enjoying the Wellness Center for the past 6 months so you may have seen me in passing. 🙂



I just finished up my last season of natural bodybuilding and am excited to start getting strong again in the gym and creating more fun recipes in the kitchen because I LOVE food!



If you see me around please say "Hi!" and introduce yourself! I love meeting new people and look forward to supporting the wellness of the community here. I will be helping with the annual Soup Supper for Collins Christmas on Main as well and would love to see you there!
