​
​
Jen was born in Ontario Canada & grew up as part of large extended family who all lived in one city.
She experienced several transitions at an early age ~ from deaths to divorce, moving schools & houses.
​
At the age of eleven her small immediate family ~ Mom, Stepdad & brother ~ moved to the UK.
This was a major transition for all of them, moving where they knew no one & learning a new culture.
This turned out to be a formative experience for Jen, as she grew up between two countries with opportunities to travel both in Europe and beyond throughout her teen years.
This exposure to diverse environments, activities, people, places, animals, opportunities both at home and away, helped her become​ familiar with being adaptive, accepting & adventurous.
​
At the same time as completing her BA Geography & MSc Environment, Science & Society at UCL in the UK, Jen navigated several experiences of loss that started over a decade of personal & professional transition.
It was at the age of 20 that she experienced the death of seven family members & friends in one year.
This included her first experience of providing palliative care & being present for the final moment of someone's life. This was a pivotal catalyst for her dedication to living fully & never taking life for granted.
​
Her research in her BA Geography dissertation focused on the intersection of human-environment interaction, connection and protection. After the first losses in that year, Jen chose to shift from focusing on theory to reality & planned her first-ever expedition ~ leading herself and two fellow students on a remote ocean canoeing research trip in Clayoquot Sound, Vancouver Island.
​
Learning to be comfortably uncomfortable became a theme that has been foundational in her life.
​
LEARNING TO BE COMFORTABLY UNCOMFORTABLE
Through experience of planning & leading global expeditions as well as creating several diverse small businesses, she fell in love with re~creating her recreational passions into her lifestyle & livelihood.
Whether sailing across an Ocean, trekking up a mountain or paddling remote regions unsupported, she has learned through first-hand experience that is takes mental & physical training to thrive through adventure.
She believes those same lessons apply in our everyday adventure & can help us navigate whatever opportunities appear as we live out our lives ~ she wants to help you be prepared for any & every adventure.
This background of exploration of her personal, professional and recreational worlds has lead her to a stage in her life where she wants to help others to discover the path that leads to their version of thriving.
​
Jen has led and participated in a diverse range of international sport, conservation and charity expeditions; has been a certified fitness and sport coach for close to a decade; and has been creating and running businesses & initiatives both in the UK and Canada ranging from filmmaking to expeditions, fitness to environmental protection, adventure citizen science to public speaking and outdoor recreation.
​
Jen is excited to share her dedication to personal, social and environmental sustainability with you.
In recent years she has come to love the simple happiness of exploring her local environment on land & water ~ learning that adventure can be found right where you are.
She is simply here to help others discover their best life adventure.
No matter what you want ~ to be fit & well, create new habits, get better at your favourite sport or activity, start or grow your business...she will be with you every step along the way helping you re~create your world
