Retreat Planning

Between the venue, agenda, excursions, and transportation…it’s going to be a lot of work. Thank goodness I’ve got over 20 years of experience in hospitality and planning, right?!

Wellness Retreats

You don’t have to tell me that the 10 minutes you spend cleaning while the kids are napping isn’t a real break.

Need to get away for some true *me* time? Pack your bags — this trip is for you and you alone (oh, and a bunch of other cool ladies who totally get what you’re going through).

 A WELL(NESS)-LIVED LIFE JUST GOT A WHOLE LOT EASIER.

Wellness Coaching

Be honest: are you picturing me as some uptight disciplinarian who will only let you drink green smoothies and will make you count your steps?

I get it, but no way. I’ll never tell you what to do. I’m here to listen and guide you to your own self-discovery, because you know you best.

Certified Health Coach Jennifer Blanes of Planning Wellness

When you see people balancing their busy lives with  healthy eating, exercise, fun hobbies, and quality sleep, you just don’t know how they do it.

You barely have the energy to finish everything you have to do during the day, let alone go to the gym, meal prep, or take on a new hobby. And you’re tired of it.

You’re tired of the endlessly growing to-do list that leaves you overworked, overwhelmed, and exhausted. 

You’re tired of feeling like you never have time for yourself, constantly putting your job and everyone else’s well-being over your own. 

You’re tired of feeling uncomfortable in your body, and believing that a healthy, happy life just isn’t in the cards for you.

YOU DON’T WANT YOUR LIFE TO STAY LIKE THIS, BUT YOU FEEL STUCK.

That's why I'm here.

HELLO

Hey there!

I'M JENNIFER

I know that a healthy, balanced life can feel so far away–some days, impossible, even. But take it from someone who knows: you don’t have to change your whole life to start living well.

 

I went from being a stressed-out workaholic to a happy, healthy, mindful mom. And the changes that got me from seriously struggling to feeling fulfilled are smaller (and easier!) than you might think. 

BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT’S THE MANAGEABLE CHANGES THAT MATTER.

That’s why I’m not here to upend your life; I’m here to help you start enjoying the dream life that’s right in front of you. Together, we’ll give wellness that *I could do this forever!* feeling to make it doable and–dare I say–fun!

what my clients say

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Jennifer as my coach. She has given me the strength and confidence I needed to be a more positive person. She helped me achieve some life changing goals. She is very sympathetic, compassionate, non-judgmental, and knowledgeable. She ensures you get out of the session what you intentionally intended. I highly recommend Jennifer!
