oh hey!
I'M JENNA.
My passion for this work was sparked by my own need for it. What I have learned through a dark depression, an endless emotional eating binge cycle, and years of self-loathing is that it is really hard to go at it alone.
For as long as I can remember, I used food as comfort. My unhealthy relationship with food resulted in a struggle with obesity. When I graduated from university with a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture in 2010, my weight had climbed to 295 pounds.

I once craved a banana for 6 months before I “allowed” myself to eat it.

How I healed my relationship with food (and you can too!)
