Quotes from Coaching Workshops:

“The most empowering element in tonight’s workshop was the interaction between Jennifer and the participants. The values shared were similar but the goals from which these values sprung were different yet meaningful to each individual.” ~ Leo B.

“This workshop was eye-opening for me, and it allowed me to extend my comfort zone in a positive way.”

“I liked ‘backing into’ goals based on values rather than just picking something without meaning. I valued [making commitments] because it gives me the flexibility to revise my goal during the year but still end with accomplishment.” ~ Kate Rasman

“It was very inspiring and it made me look deep inside and take a look at me and what is important. It also helped me take a positive aspect on life and how I can change it by affirmations and setting good intentions. I thoroughly enjoyed it!”

“What a great way to combine a group of people’s love for running with bringing consciousness to body, mind and spirit. This was a great escape from the ‘real word.’ Thank you!”

“I enjoyed the time to reflect on the past and look to the future in a realistic and attainable way. The yoga for runners seems to be just what my mind and body needs at this time in my life.” ~ Emily Stickler

Quotes from “A Day Away” Participants

“The flow is good - from the solo walk leading to the more concrete and tangible exercises. I was skeptical, however, it’s been much more practical than I expected.”

“Thanks for a great day away… I really appreciate your excellent comments/insight. Again, amazed at the dynamic among everyone today. Learned a lot, let go of a lot, and am feeling stronger about my move to NC, among other things. Thank you!”

“Jennifer provides seemingly easy but quite thought provoking questions and an environment that encourages exploration beyond the obvious or easy answers. She listens and provides insightful comments. And, she has a wonderful aura and spirit.”

“I have doubted myself about the direction I want to take with my life, which involves several major life changes. This experience helped me to validate the direction and to focus in more detail how to accomplish this.”

“[I enjoyed] learning a new skill (snowshoeing) and having peaceful time in the woods.”

“Clarifying my values and making a list of them was very solidifying.”

“Getting away from my daily life and into a venue of nature, thought provoking questions and discussions. A good balance of quality alone time and interpersonal time. Laughter! Not only did it lift my spirits but shook the stronghold my analytical mind was having.”

“I really have to tell you how incredible that time in the woods was on the 17th. I think you’ve really found your niche. I haven’t been able to get in touch with that piece of my divorce that was giving me so much difficulty until that day.”

Quotes from Turning Over a New Leaf Subscribers:

“Thank you for this. I did not realize until after I finished reading it how stuck I’ve been. How stuck I am in so many ways. I cried so hard it hurt.”
~ Reader, February 2009 Newsletter

“Your newsletter is so great! I gain a breath of rarified fresh air, full of infinite possibility just from looking at it, and the glow of peaceful life energy that fills you.”
~ Constance, Naturalist & Animal Rights Activist

“Beautiful, inspiring, and very well written!”
~ Diane, Mulberry Gap
