Helping People and Organizations Move From Surviving to Sustainable.
Workplace Wellness Educator & Keynote Speaker
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Practical tools, backed by 20+ years of clinical experience and firsthand understanding of what burnout recovery takes.
Stop surface-level wellness talks &
get tools that actually help.
Most “wellness” talks sound good in the moment…
…and change nothing the next day.
Every keynote, training, and workshop is built on the same belief: people don't need another surface-level conversation about self-care — they need to understand what's actually happening and leave with tools they'll use long after the session ends.
Rooted in 20+ years of clinical, trauma-informed expertise
Shaped by lived experience with burnout, not just research
Built around real-world scenarios your team will actually recognize
Customized to your organization's specific challenges, not a generic deck
Clinical Expertise. Lived Experience. Practical Impact.
For more than 20 years, Jen has worked with healthcare systems, schools, nonprofits, and foster and adoptive families, bringing trauma-informed, evidence-based expertise into every room. But what sets her work apart isn't just the training — it's that she's lived through her own burnout and rebuilt a sustainable career and life around it. That combination is why her sessions, trainings, and keynotes land differently: less theory, more "someone who's actually been there."

Excellent seminar. Had some new material to consider that was not on my radar, and helped me come to some new strategies on the work/life challenges.

I hired Jennifer to support my supervisory and management staff. The positive results I hear from all of them as they are embarking on a journey of work life balance, plus finding the the time to bring harmony into their lives, while working in a mentally draining and physically challenging industry. I am so pleased to see the results my team is achieving while being guided by Jennifer. One of the best training programs to create calm in the team I have ever spent.

For Foster & Adoptive Families
This Isn't Just Professional Experience — It's Personal.
Jen isn't only a licensed clinical social worker with trauma-informed training. She's a foster and adoptive parent herself, which means she understands this work from both sides of the table — as the clinician in the room and as the parent living it at 2am.
Areas worth noting:
Caregiver burnout — because she's experienced it, not just studied it
Emotional regulation and attachment, in real family systems, not textbooks
Behavioral challenges that come with trauma histories
The system-level stress of navigating foster care and adoption processes
This isn't theory. It's what actually works when things are hard — for your family, and for the kids you're showing up for.
Practical. Evidence-Based. Human.
People and organizations who work with Jen don't walk away with another framework to forget by Friday. They walk away with language for what they're actually experiencing, tools they've already tried on for size in the room, and the confidence to use them the next time things get hard — at work, at home, or both.
Free Assessment
How People-First Is Your Culture, Really?
A free, 5-minute assessment that shows you exactly where your team is thriving — and where burnout is quietly building.
Most culture surveys tell you employees are "stressed" and stop there. The People-First Culture Assessment goes further, scoring your organization across the five pillars that actually predict whether a team burns out or builds something sustainable:
Intentional Leadership — Are your leaders equipped to model and support well-being, or just talk about it?
Courageous Communication — Can your team raise hard things before they become bigger problems?
Sustainable Well-Being — Is rest and recovery built into how you work, or squeezed in around the edges?
Human-Centered Culture — Do people feel seen as people, not just roles?
Purposeful Performance — Is high performance coming at the cost of your people, or alongside their well-being?
Answer a short set of questions and get a personalized scorecard showing where your organization stands in each pillar — plus practical next steps you can start using immediately, no consultant required to interpret it.
