How I can help



If you’re tired of the sleepless nights, and sleepy afternoons…
If you’re tired of the weight that won’t budge, no matter how many miles you run or green smoothies you drink…
If you’re tired of the bloating, puffiness, and (ahem) gas…
If you’re tired of PMS and feeling annoyed by the whole world and sensitive to the touch…
If you’re tired of hot flashes, night sweats, and feeling like your thermostat is set just a little too high…
If you’re tired of allergies, achy joints, and skin irritations…
And scariest to me, if you’re tired of the way your brain just doesn’t function like it used to…
I can help.


Maybe you’ve tried different diets, different training plans, and different 21-30 day challenges. I’ve been there, and I’ve found that sometimes all we need is someone to help us figure out what our body needs and help us stick to a plan. That’s what I’m here for.

I will help you clarify your needs and desires, assist you in goal-setting, be your accountability partner and cheerleader, help you build self-awareness and the confidence to make changes in your lifestyle, and provide resources to help you implement healthier habits for a lifetime.

I will provide you with nutrition guidance and strategies on how to live a healthier life, but I cannot diagnose health conditions or prescribe medication or nutrition plans as a means of treating a disease. I will leave that to your doctors and registered dietitians. However, I will go more in depth than those experts usually have time for, as we explore your relationship to food, your body, your habits and lifestyle, your support system, and much more.

If you'd like to talk to me more about how I can help you reach your health and wellness goals, contact me at JenniferIbenWellness@gmail.com or book a free call with me by clicking the Calendly button.  I look forward to talking with you!

meditation on a rose

The universe was trying to tell me something this week.  First, I got a bouquet of beautiful pink roses from my daughter’s boyfriend for no particular reason (who does that? He’s a keeper!) The next day I read about the Heart of the Rose meditation in The Monk who Sold his Ferrari . In this form of meditation you gaze into the heart of a rose for several minutes, soaking in the beauty and clearing your mind of all other distractions. I tried it briefly, but honestly, I wasn't really into it. Later that day, since I apparently didn’t get the message, my coworker gave me a beautiful rose from her garden. So now I had a rose on my desk at work, roses on my table at home, and a book on my counter reminding me to take more time to meditate. I had been on a great streak of meditating ten minutes a day while I was at home all day this summer, but since I went back to work, that was one of the first habits to quietly slip away. The stress of the pandemic sneaks up on you. You think ...

a day in the life of a nutrition coach (and part-time librarian)

I’m always interested in how other people live their day-to-day lives behind the scenes, so I thought I’d share what I do. There’s nothing earth-shattering about it, just a series of small habits strung together throughout the day. Here's what a typical day looks like for me: 5:00 wake up. I get dressed and drink a glass of water while my coffee is brewing. I used to add all sorts of things to my coffee, like collagen, turmeric, and cinnamon, but since I've been clean-fasting the last two years, to avoid any insulin response, I drink it black. While I drink my coffee, I stretch a bit, look at my plan for the day, fill my water bottle, and read for a few minutes. On the weekends, when I have more time, I like to journal and then read for a longer time. After about a half a cup, I go for a run or walk for 30-45 minutes. After a long hiatus due to foot and knee issues, I am trying to implement a little bit of running each day. This is when I listen to my favorite podcasts and chec...

retaining your sanity during the holidays

Everywhere I go on social media this month I see posts on how to stick to your dietary plan over the holidays, nasty ingredients that are in your favorite dishes, and recipes for healthier options.  I'm all for eating healthier (obviously!) but aren't the holidays stressful enough?   Case in point: one of my family favorites at Thanksgiving is a corn pudding that we've been eating for as long as I can remember.  It's pretty basic—corn, butter, yogurt, and a corn muffin mix packet.  I saw a post this week on the ingredients in the corn muffin mix that was quite horrifying, along with a link to a healthier option you could use.  The price difference?  Twelve dollars!  Now, I'm all for healthier options (especially the gluten-free varieties), and quite honestly, I don't recommend eating corn muffins—even the twelve dollar ones—at all, but if you're only eating them once a year, why break the bank and stress over it? I will be making the cheaper versi...
