About Us
My name is Jennifer Swanson. I'm married and have 3 children, whom I homeschool.
Eight years ago today, I set a goal and began a journey to lose weight and lead a healthier lifestyle. If I’d known it would take almost eight years to reach that goal, honestly, I might not have begun. I lost most of my weight within the first year and half, but then things changed, and I went into a long stall…..a 4 ½ year stall. Everything that worked in the past no longer worked no matter how I tweaked them. My weight wasn’t budging, and though I was frustrated, I wasn’t giving up. Throughout my life I have tried many diets and different styles of eating to accomplish this goal, but they either were unsuccessful attempts, or once I reached my goal, I struggled to maintain it. This time was and is different! I reached my goal in June of this year.
You see, through all the trials, not to mention aging, within that eight years, I continued to learn about health and nutrition, and I am wholeheartedly engrossed in learning and improving still. Between health and nutrition groups, books, podcasts, friends, and eventually coaches, I was able to get the scale moving again, and I learned even more tricks to add to my knowledge base. I couldn’t have done it without my family being so incredibly patient with me, allowing me to try many new recipes and changing the groceries that come into the house!
After learning about Trim Healthy Mama, I began following that method on this day in 2015, and in November 2018, I wanted to help others so I became a Certified Trim Healthy Mama Coach. Because of my yearning to continue on my healthier lifestyle path, I decided to take things a bit further and become a Certified Nutrition Coach,and I completed that step just last month. My heart while on this journey has always been about being able to help others make changes while not feeling like they’re dieting or missing out. You DON’T have to put your life on hold to make positive changes. Do you need a mindset to change, accountability, and a desire to do it? Yes, but friends, getting to that goal is absolutely worth it!
If you are ready to make a change, I would be honored to help you. Yes, I know that it’s October and that Christmas is around the corner, but there is never a perfect time to begin your journey. There are always going to be reasons that keep you from putting yourself first. “It doesn’t matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going.” - Brian TracyI
My passion is helping others, and I feel that nutritional coaching offers me a chance to do that. I am willing to be there for you whether it's getting you up and started, holding you accountable through your journey, helping you menu plan or shop, demonstrating a meal or two, or just helping you get your friends together for a fun, healthy party.
My business is a coaching business, so I will never ask you to purchase any products, as I only offer coaching services.
