Meet your guide

Hi, I am Jennifer. I am honored to guide people on transformative experiences to discover their true selves.

My life's mission is to help people become who they are meant to be, and this mission is blossoming with Be. Retreats.

It took me 40+ years to find my mission and passion. No matter where you are in life, it's always the right time to ask, "Who am I meant to be?"

My diverse background—including journalism, small business ownership, Girl Scouts leadership, spiritual community involvement, and motherhood—has equipped me to guide others on their self-discovery journey.

Do you want to know what it means to be truly you? Let's find out together.

What others say

Space to think

The intention-setting retreat set the tone for a lot of the decisions I made this year. I was so appreciative to be given the space to think through the things that were most important in my life for this season, and be given a framework to turn those values into an intention that was easily implementable. Bonus was the collage we each made! I've kept mine on display in my office all year!

Explore and find meaning

Jennifer has a calming presence as a leader in contemplative practices. She frames activities in purposeful ways that are accessible for wherever you are in your spiritual journey and then steps out of the way so that you can explore and find meaning on your own. She provides a safe, nurturing environment and creates opportunities for deep reflection.

Invest in myself

Attending the intention-setting retreat was a wonderful opportunity to invest in myself and think about my life and how I want it to be. I enjoyed the time reflecting and sharing with the group, and I walked away with a strong vision for how I wanted to move forward with how I approach my family and work.
