I am a 37-year-old-mother of two-and-a-half-year-old twin boys. They are the source of my greatest joy in life and also a big part of the reason that I have not been able to find any time to take care of myself or my physical well-being. I would love to say that I began having Jennifer train me because I realized that I needed to be at my physical best to have a long and healthy life. The truth is, I knew I was going to have to wear a swimsuit on an upcoming beach vacation with my husband and his colleagues. Mind you, I was still wearing my maternity clothes and my uniform was pants with an elastic waste band and an oversized shirt.
Enlisting Jennifer’s help was hard for me because I couldn't imagine how I would find the time, and I was nervous about having ANYONE assess my body on any level. Not only did she immediately make me feel comfortable, but I realized she was a goldmine of knowledge about exercise and diet. This actually ended up saving me time, because she was developing the workout routines, diet guidelines and other tips that would take years to learn. She has introduced me to yoga, boxing, weight lifting, aerobics and most importantly, to my own potential.
As a current client of Jennifer’s, I am on my way to being able to wear that once-dreaded swimsuit. This is good. What I never anticipated is how strong I would feel; how much more energy I would have at the end of the day; how taking time for myself could be so exciting; how my body is becoming more of a friend and less of something I try to ignore. These things are GREAT! Jennifer alone is responsible for these positive changes. She is kind and inspiring, but above all, she is an expert in this field.
Sincerely,
Terese
