As an interfaith minister and health coach, Jeannette brings a unique mind-body-spirit perspective to all her talks.

Congregations looking to better integrate body and mind into their spiritual pursuits engage her for direct, inspiring insights into the ways spiritual living can be impacted by our thoughts, feelings, core beliefs, physical health, and energy, and vice versa.

Industry and health service venues bring her in to offer spiritual perspectives on common work or health struggles. Many “business as usual” problems will begin to resolve on their own simply by adopting a more realistic, more holistic view of work and life. For example, traditional approaches to stress management in the workplace often neglect to address either the general stressors on the outside or the individual habitual reactions on the inside. Working holistically with both typically yields the most effective transformations.

By overturning the flawed paradigm that drives the divided way we think about body, mind and spirit in this country, she paves the way for an approach to resilience and healing that honors the truth of who we are as powerful humans and beacons of light for others.

With a unique combination of funny, tender and relatable , real-life stories and rich, practical content, Jeannette’s sermons, speaking presentations and classes are engaging and inspiring, often generating profound “ah-ha” experiences in her audiences that awaken them to the possibility of life “in the Flow”.

  • Jeannette has a unique approach…an innate ability to explain processes in terms that resonate with her audience. She takes what looks at first to be a complicated task and has participants walking away saying “I can do that!” She is personable, passionate and one of the most creative and innovative people in her industry. Her energy and love of her work comes through in every presentation.

Popular Keynote Topic:

What if our failure to heal was just a trick of the Light?
The Invisible Flaw in our Health Industry.

In this era of cascading health epidemics, we are looking for healing in greater and greater numbers. By dividing up our issues according to “body”, “mind” or “spirit”, however, we can find ourselves running out of rope with a medical doctor when our physical pain crosses into the emotional realm, or with a mental health professional when psychological challenges seem tied to eating certain foods.

By shifting our current divided, mechanistic model of self to one of an interconnected “network”, we are one step closer to understanding the life-altering truth about healing and what we really are.
