Some happy clients

Jennie was instrumental in ‘leveling up’ our entire organization. As a startup founder, I’ve been obsessed with optimizing our product to get the best results. Only when we started working with Jennie did I realize that optimizing the well-being of our employees was even more important. Her support and wellness programming made the journey more manageable, and kept us optimistic and energized as we scaled. There was no way I could keep up with the pace of startup life…..until I found Jennie.

Kenny Rosenblatt

President & Co-Founder, Arkadium

Nick has fundamentally changed the way that I think about leadership, management and the fundamentals of building a business from scratch. From the basic tactics of how to have tough conversations to forcing me to think critically about the direction of the business, Nick is kind of like that voice inside your head that always points you in the right direction or makes you think. Nick has helped me grow as a leader and manager from the most basic skills of how to work with employees to how to think about vision and real growth/scale.

Joey Petracca

Owner, Chicory

In 6 months of working with him, I’ve doubled my business. Nick set goals for me from day 1 of how I wanted my business to be and how I wanted my personal life to be, and with every session, we always tie it into “how does what I’ve done help me achieve those goals?”

Patrick Soong

Founder & CEO, Alliance Trading Group

Being a business owner I noticed that the fatigue and crankiness I was feeling was affecting my staff and the relationship I was having with them. Working with Jennie completely changed that. Jennie is an absolute pleasure to work with— she is funny, caring, and keeps you on track with out making you feel bad about yourself.

Amanda Varelia

Owner, Salon Mogano

As a small business owner, I became used to putting everyone and everything else first, and putting myself last. While my company is in the wellness space, I felt my own health suffering and was lucky to find Jennie when I did! Working with her helped create a space each week where I had no choice but to close my mind to the daily grind, focus on the here and now, and simply be present. This was extremely helpful and motivating personally and professionally, and it taught me how to tap into calmness and self awareness any time I need to. Jennie’s positive attitude, friendly demeanor and honest support system is the trifecta for success, and I highly recommend her services!
