Hello, I'm Coach Jen!

POSITIVE SHYFT is a place of growth and empowerment. My approach to coaching is an iterative, holistic, transformational process designed to elicit powerful conversations. Our sessions are intended to inspire new thinking, perceptions and behavior to improve performance, establish directional clarity, and bolster the achievement of your personal goals. Cultivating self-awareness, recalibrating your pragmatic perspectives, and promoting pattern shifts can generate huge personal benefits, deep change, and enhance the quality of your life. 

AS YOUR COACH, I bring more than credentials, I bring wisdom earned through experience, deep empathy, and real world tools people can trust. With my degree in Psychology & Master Certified Life Coach training, I understand the science behind behavior, motivation & mindset, and emotional wellness. I am not just offering inspiration, I offer transformation that's rooted in proven strategies.

My years as a teacher, especially in both general education and special education, show my ability to meet people exactly where they are. I know how to break down complex challenges, support growth of all kinds of learners, and create safe supportive spaces for change. I'm skilled at helping people unlock their potential even when life feels so overwhelming.
Having experienced a great marriage, an amicable divorce, and rebuilding my life afterward, I provide grounded guidance and understanding of how relationships can shape us, how loss can also be liberating, and have taken on the adventure of reclaiming my voice and power. Raising 2 children into adulthood gives me lived experience in the very journeys you may be on; identity shifts, motherhood/parenting, balancing personal goals with demands of family or work life, searching for any time for self-care. I walked the path, made the sacrifices, reveled in the achievements and joys and now I am helping others thrive ~ not just survive.

For women in midlife, navigating peri/menopause and emotional transformation or looking to reignite your sense or purpose or self-worth, you deserve more than surviving, so let's create a life that feels like yours again. As your Coach, I'm here to walk beside you with lived experience & understanding, provide a safe supportive space for you to release limiting beliefs & pressure, and hold you accountable with positive pushes & support your momentum as you discover that SHYFT forward.  If you want to be supported by someone that actually "gets it", I'd be honored to be your coach.

Family members & Caregivers of neurodivergent people: Coaching in this community is personal, as I am a parent to a wonderful daughter with Autism. I know firsthand how overwhelming, beautiful and complicated this journey can be. I also taught Special Education at a NPS, have been a para-educator, and I was Vocational Coach for neurodiverse adults; helping them build meaningful systems, earn wages, and enjoy happy lives beyond the classroom. Now I want to support the Parent(s), Families & Caregivers and assist in your SHYFT from burnout to alignment & balance, from surviving to thriving. If you are ready to feel more grounded, present and empowered as a caregiver, I'd love to walk beside you.
