"Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are."​

-Brené Brown

WELCOME

​Welcome to my site! I’m so glad you are here. The first step to change is awareness, so congratulations, you are one step closer to closing the gap from where you are today and where you want to be. Let’s design a world that aligns with the one you imagined. You are not confined to yesterday’s destiny; your new story can start on any page. You can create another beginning, the story that feels right to you. The time is now to trust your inner voice; it's never too late. I’m here to help you raise your standards, set your boundaries, protect your peace, instill hope, develop self-love, and live with authenticity. Are you ready to embrace the uncertainty, restore a sense of safety, trust yourself again, prioritize your heart, and reclaim your life? Plant the seed of change today. Are you ready to bloom?

ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Jen. Thank you for being here and prioritizing you! The Blooming FlowHer evolved from my own personal and professional experiences with trauma, intimate partner violence, and narcissistic abuse. The lotus flower grows from murky waters, but the flower rises above the darkness and blossoms open one petal at a time. Be patient with this path to self. The storm may come before the calm; but remember, there's power in you that you haven't seen yet. I have experienced post-traumatic growth and found a deeper sense of self and purpose. I have gained a greater appreciation for my clients' experiences and am better equipped to build deeper and stronger connections. I use a trauma-informed approach in my practice by providing empathy, validation, active listening, and a safe, non-judgmental space. Let's bloom together!
