Find a Coach Options

I am the mother of three grown children and a seasoned early childhood educator. I love to support parents, especially in the early childhood years. Providing practical help for parents as they take steps toward the hopes and dreams they have for their family.

My own parenting journey found its place in the Simplicity Parenting community. I am happy to share from my own experience but my focus is on helping parents find their own way, helping them to discover and strengthen their own ideas and vision. My goal is to help my clients find clarity, energy, and joy in everyday living and become more competent and confident in handling parenting challenges.

Each of my children came out as part of the LGBTQ+ community as teens. I enjoy supporting LGBTQ+ families, especially other cis, straight parents navigating these issues for the first time.

What Parents Say After Coaching With Me

“Jenna is a good listener, reliable, flexible and has a relaxed manner. She made me feel safe to open up and be myself. She coaches from a place of care and compassion. Her approach invited me into a conversation. She’s personal and willing to share her own experience as a parent, an educator, and a wife.”

“I have so appreciated my time with Jenna as my coach. She is funny and full of wisdom on parenting. She has helped me to see beyond the daily grind of parenting and see the big picture that is full of goodness and hope. She gave me hope, when there were days I couldn't find it. She is so easy to talk to that often an hour was not enough! I wanted to talk all night. She gave me new ideas that brought life to me as a parent in the day to day. She was also insightful and had many stories to share that taught me a lot.”
