“Jena has been such a wonderful listener and really takes note of my thoughts and patterns. She’s been great at helping me set small, attainable weekly goals that are helping me gain confidence in myself. She respects my desire to have food freedom AND lose weight. She gives great feedback to me and helps me create a plan to achieve my weekly goals. She has a fun, upbeat personality and a lot of insight on women’s hormonal health, food freedom, intuitive eating, and whole foods. “

About Jena

I’m Jena, a born-and-raised Texan, a coach’s wife, and a proud boy mom to a 15-year-old and an almost 13-year-old. I’ve been married for nearly 20 years, and when I’m not working, you’ll find me out in nature—whether it’s kayaking, hiking, swimming laps, or tending to my plants. Gardening is my happy place, and I love growing fresh food to use in my cooking. I’m also passionate about creating a life that balances work, family, and fun. Whether I’m at a baseball game cheering on my boys or experimenting with a new recipe in the kitchen, I believe in making the most of every moment!

Approach to care

I take a compassionate, personalized approach to nutrition, recognizing that food is more than just fuel—it’s deeply connected to emotions, past experiences, and overall well-being. With 18 years as a registered dietitian and my own lived experience overcoming an eating disorder rooted in trauma, I understand the complexities of healing one’s relationship with food. My goal is to help clients move away from restrictive, all-or-nothing thinking and toward sustainable, balanced eating that supports their physical and emotional health. I focus on practical strategies to improve blood sugar balance, hormone health, and overall metabolic well-being—without guilt or overwhelm. Every person’s journey is different, and I meet clients where they are, offering science-backed guidance with a heavy dose of empathy and real-life application.

Your first session with Jena

In your first session with me, you can expect a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment where you feel heard and understood. Here’s what to expect: 1. Introduction & Connection: 2. Personalized Discussion 3. Goal Setting Together 4. Education & Tools 5. A Plan to Move Forward My focus will be on creating a positive, collaborative experience that empowers you to take the next steps with confidence. This is a journey—one that you don’t have to navigate alone.
