"Jennifer is wonderful! In addition to possessing the experience to help me succeed, she is one of the most delightful folks I know. Having her as my fitness and nutritional advisor has paid HUGE dividends. She has helped me clean up my diet, build strength and lose weight. Thanks Jennifer!"

"Spending a long weekend on a retreat with Jennifer was definitely one of the highlights of my year. She brought together a phenomenal group of people, planned for just the right balance of activity and downtime, and the meals - amazing. I loved that the yoga sessions were sometimes challenging and sometimes restorative, always creative and without any pretense. If you have a chance to join her on a retreat, just say yes."

"I have been drawn back to yoga thanks to Jennifer after a 8 year hiatus.  From the very first class I knew she was the patient, knowledgeable, sincere, light hearted, and genuine instructor I had been looking for.  As a beginner she really takes her time to walk you though each posture, encourages you when you get frustrated, and invites you think about your path to personal well being. She is perfect for the beginner but at the same time she has postures or alternatives for everyone- advanced students, people with injuries, etc. I have been taking her classes for 2 years (including 2 AMAZING yoga retreats) and I am so incredibly grateful that she has helped me become a more flexible, reflective, positive, and happy person"

"Jennifer is a yoga instructor and Certified Personal Trainer at the gym I belong to and her yoga classes are actually the principal reason that I joined I this particular gym. She has an incredible breadth of knowledge that spans anatomy, exercise physiology, nutrition, and of course yoga philosophy. Her ability to spot, correct, and offer modifications for improper alignment is unparalleled. I have the Chiari Malformation type 1 and hip anteversion (and also am a student of human physiology) and Jennifer is the only yoga instructor I implicitly trust to correct my alignment. If you are concerned with injuries, abnormal posture/malformations, alignment etc I can't recommend Jennifer more highly!"

"Jennifer's Warrior Flow™ classes provide a lovely balance between martial art and yoga movements. I feel as though I get a full body workout, one which accommodates strength training, cardio and stretching. Warrior Flow™ challenges me to work through those combinations or poses I have been practicing while integrating learning new ones. My endurance has strengthened and my confidence in my movements continues to grow. Warrior Flow™ has become a consistent regimen in my fitness health that I recommend you consider adding to yours!"

"Jennifer lead an amazing yoga retreat to Sardinia last year. Yoga was the premise for the trip, and we also enjoyed wonderful accommodations, food and side trips to several amazing areas of the island It was an experience of a life time!  "

"I first met Jennifer at MeFitness in an evening yoga class in 2011. I found her energy and teaching style to be very welcoming, humble, talented and fun. She challenged me to continually further my practice and have fun along the way. I have often been on and off with my yoga practice but I feel like Jennifer activated a new sense of commitment and enthusiasm for yoga within me. By regularly attending her classes I was able to do more, stretch further and get into poses I didn't even know were possible. She is a joy to practice and learn with and is one of my favorite yoga teachers - ever. 

Jennifer has helped me achieve several goals in yoga including inversions such as head, shoulder and hand stands. These poses always intimidated me before but Jennifer provided the space and safe instruction to make these seem feasible. I also learned so much about breathing from her and have a fuller appreciation and understanding about types of breath and the importance of breathing throughout yoga practice."

“Traveling to Nepal is a journey that can take you down so many roads. Having the unique opportunity to experience hiking in the Himalayas a small remote village and interact with the beautiful people and animals who live there is a chance of a lifetime. Jennifer and our Nepalese hosts will do anything to make your experience the very best it can be. I recommend this trip for anyone who carries a spark of adventure and a curious mind. You will be amazed at how open your heart can become to give and receive both during and long after this life changing  opportunity.”

“The yoga retreat in Sardinia Italy was an amazing experience. The island was beautiful, the activities were a blast for everyone, the rooms were delightful, and Jennifer’s yoga classes were energizing and fun! I really enjoyed the trip and the classes gave me so much energy to do the activities including but not limited to boating, snorkeling, biking, wine tasting, site seeing, going out to eat, and socializing with others on the retreat. The people were friendly and welcoming and Jennifer’s kindness was felt by all. I will definitely be going on a retreat with her in the future. Thanks for putting this retreat together Jennifer. It was the best that I have attended!”

"I have been working out with Jennifer for almost a year now. I feel so incredibly lucky to have scored a trainer like her. She is knowledgeable, kind, funny and super dorky (raise the roof). She not only inspires me to meet my fitness goals but also motivates me to live healthier and find a better balance in life. She is an impressive woman in and out of the gym. 

When I first started training I had really let my body go after struggling on and off with making fitness a continuous part of my life. Like many I would take on eating and fitness challenges but then fall so far off the wagon that I not only had to start over but I now had further to go. In addition to all of this, I had struggled with back pain since I was 15 and because of this often injured myself or gave up because it was “just too hard.” Jennifer helped me rebuild my muscles from the ground up. She has always been so incredibly patient and encouraging. I might scuffle from time to time with a teeny weeny bit of self doubt and can be a bit hard on myself (just a bit).  She has genuinely gotten to know my strengths and weakness (physically and personally) and discretely pushes me and empowers me. She has helped me find the balance that I have been searching for and I couldn’t be more grateful!"

"I feel very fortunate to have been a participant in Jennifer's 2016 Nepal adventure.  It far-exceeded my expectations, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the trip.  It truly was a vacation of a lifetime.

Kathmandu is colorful and vibrant, and rural Nepal is spectacular, but it was the people in the villages that stole my heart for they are incredibly kind, welcoming and beautiful.  This wasn’t my traditional tourist experience – for me, it was like living a dream.

 I would strongly encourage everyone who enjoys yoga, hiking and mountain trekking to take advantage of this amazing journey. "

"I went on the warrior-flow goddess retreat seeking a relaxing getaway weekend with a focus on self-care, and got that and much more. The trip was easy, fun, and most importantly, healing and educational. There were incredibly healthy, whole-food meals that were thoughtfully crafted and delicious. And the amount of yoga classes were just right, very meditative with a good balance of vigor and restoration. Jennifer is so fun to be around and she encourages me to challenge myself and better myself from a place of genuine compassion rather than competition and comparison and that translated pleasantly to the community of women on the retreat. The writing sessions were catalysts for personal development and understanding that helped me get to know myself better, where some great bonds were established, and some deeper questions were pondered and revealed. I would recommend this weekend retreat to any goddess seeking community, growth and self-care. I loved it!"

"I have been working with Jennifer for close to three years. During that time she has helped me identify and realize several goals tied to weight loss, becoming strong and fit and overall better health.  She has supported me with where I am in terms of readiness to make changes to my lifestyle in order to be healthier overall because realistically, our motivation for change ebbs and flows.  Jennifer looks at the whole picture: overall health, nutrition, physical activity level, and the amount of stress and self-care we have/create in our lives.  She offers suggestions and will provide structure as requested in order to support adjustments in any of those areas.  She has provided me with an arsenal of tools to use to continue my path to feeling healthy and strong."

"I have been training with Jennifer for nearly a year now, and I could not recommend her more.  Her knowledge of yoga, nutrition, martial arts and fitness based exercise offers something for everybody.  We began together in the gym, and it wasn't long before the strength I gained transformed into confidence and lifted me out of the rut I had been in.  A few months later I absolutely rocked my highly anticipated festival vacation, looking amazing in my costumes and feeling like I could dance all night, because I did.  Later in the year I was faced with an unexpected, terrible loss.  Jennifer was there for me, shifting our time together into a healing yoga practice.  Her compassion and knowledge of how to unravel the trauma in my body have guided me through this very challenging time.  Our time together has been my therapy, both physical and spiritual.  I am very blessed to have her in my life every week."

"I just had a birthday, and I feel like all I do is work and work out. I was thinking “I need a vacation!” That’s when a close friend of mine asked me to join her in this trip to India with Jennifer. I had been taking the boxing class with Jennifer for almost 7 months, but I had never really thought of traveling to India.  For some reason the excitement in my friend's voice and the fact that Jen will be leading this trip just kept me from thinking "why the heck not?!". I did my own little research and sat down with Jen with my questions and doubts with going to this trip. The thing with Jen is, she doesn't just answer your questions, she makes sure you fully understand the what, where, how and when. It literally just took me a couple of days to decide, and the answer was a glorifying "yes, I'm going to India!

So March 2014 came and a few thousand miles later, we finally landed in India. This by far is one of the most exciting, amazing and mesmerizing trip I had ever been a part off. First I was really impressed with the planning and the communication through out the whole trip. We landed, and our guide was there and ready to take us to our hotel. The guides were simply one of the nicest people you could ever ask for to lead your way into this beautiful country. We hiked and trekked the Himalayas for the first week, and I 'm pretty sure that took care of my work out routines for a good month or so! I've never seen so much beautiful scenery, explored such a  different, oh and off course enjoyed every single meal on this trip was amazing!  On the last leg of the trip we traveled around India by van to see the Taj Mahal, and the Golden Temple! Jen made sure we were always taken care off! So whenever I get asked, how was it? My simple reply is always "a beautiful madness" If you ever get a chance to do a retreat with Jen, I will, without doubt or hesitation tell you to, do yourself a favor and "GO DO IT!" It's an adventure that you will definitely remember for the rest of your life! I know I will!"

"I have been doing a regular yoga practice since our retreat, thanks to your encouragement to make adjustments for my sore wrist/elbow.  For some reason I felt that I needed to not do certain things because I was in pain but after the retreat I realized that the pain was there either way and I just needed to be gentle in the beginning while my body adjusted to the poses.  As a result of my 2 to 3 times a week yoga practice, I'm feeling much stronger and healthier.  My elbow still bothers me sometimes but not as much as before and serves as a gentle reminder not to push myself too hard.

Thank you for the relaxing retreat and your guidance that weekend.  It really made a difference for me in creating a much needed shift."
