To help people achieve their true potential as individuals and leaders in a way that affirms the value of all life, creates lives, communities and organizations that will stand the test of time, and inspires them to embrace what is full, exquisite and already available in their lives.

I wanted to reach out and thank you for a really rich day. It was not only masterfully facilitated by you but a very rich and deepening experience for me personally and from what I observed for the team as a whole. This somatic work requires another level of "being" and I so appreciated your skill and expertise. I hope to begin my own journey of integrating the somatic approach to my coaching and to my own way of being in my life.
MASSIVE THANKS for allowing me the wonderful experience of working with Jen Cohen these last 6 - 7 months. We wrapped up our coaching, for now, last week and I believe she is has been the key to me recovering from the last couple of years trauma as well as helping me figure out who I want to be in the future as a leader & teammate.
It’s hard to imagine being where I am today - a business leader, a happily married wife and proud mother of two- without having had the benefit of this life shaping coaching. Jen has been there every step of the way to help me manage through work challenges, job changes, and significant personal life events. Her coaching has helped me tackle these challenges with greater personal mastery, while always maintaining my authenticity and adhering to my values. I would not be where I am today without her help and support.
