Nourishing Possibilities

My Offerings

Executive Coaching for Space Planning & Retail Operations:
Most space planning and merchandising leaders were promoted for getting things done — not for building scalable systems. But as the work grows more complex, execution alone stops working. I help retail operations leaders expand from tactical problem-solvers to strategic influencers who can see across systems, lead upstream, and design sustainable planning infrastructure.

Coaching Through Times of Change for Women and Non-Binary People
For women and non-binary professionals navigating transition — career pivots, leadership growth, reinvention, or evolving phases of solo parenthood — I offer holistic coaching that integrates mind, body, and heart. My clients feel stretched thin and unsure of what’s next. Together, we slow down, clarify what matters, and move forward from grounded self-trust instead of self-doubt. This approach honors the wisdom of your mind, body, and heart.

Jenny has been a professional mentor to me for nearly a decade. Her mentorship has made a big impact on me, how I think and feel about work, and how I show up.

Jenny is a natural leader with a lot of heart and curiosity. She channels this in an intentional way that lifts up others and bring out their best.

An attentive listener first, she considers everyone's blind spots (even her own). This makes her insights more balanced and objective than most people are capable of. She walks alongside toward finding the best answer for yourself, rather than just pointing at what she thinks it is for you.

I leave every conversation with Jenny feeling inspired, confident and more clear-minded about any challenge I face.
