ABOUT ME

Hello and welcome! I am Jennifer Andrew, a certified Holistic Health Coach, with a focus on functional nutrition. I have a deep commitment to guiding others toward vibrant health and wellbeing. My passion for health and nutrition has been a lifelong journey. I love food, cooking, and creating nourishing meals, which inspired me to continue my education in functional nutrition. I received my Health Coaching certification from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. Continuing to follow that path, I became Board Certified in April 2025 from the National Board of Health and Wellness Coaching. In April 2025, I completed the Functional Nutrition Counselor Certification through the Functional Nutrition Alliance.
My journey began in 2005 when I started working in the healthcare field as a Surgical Glove Representative. This role allowed me to learn extensively about the medical environment as I worked in operating rooms across various hospitals in the mid-west. However, my life took a profound turn when my first born son, Jacob was diagnosed with cancer. He fought so courageously but we lost him just two days before his fifth birthday. Two years later my Mother was also diagnosed with cancer and sadly passed away. These heart-breaking experiences deepened my resolve to pursue a career that could create a path for health, healing and hope for others. Outside of coaching I stay active and love to move my body. I am a Group Fitness Instructor and an avid yogi with a strong passion for integrating movement into everyday life. I also believe in the power of energy healing and am a certified level 2 Reiki practitioner, using this skill to help channel healing for my clients. My vision is to live in a world where balance and well-being come first. I am dedicated to helping people feel at home in their bodies and supporting them as they achieve sustainable health and happiness.
