Hi, I'm Jaema!

I started my journey to health coaching after receiving a life changing diagnosis of breast cancer a few years back. I had always been active throughout my life and a long time vegetarian! But I discovered that cancer doesn't discriminate. Treatment which included surgery gave me a lot of time to think about healing and the direction of my life.

Survival literally changed my perspective. I used to take everything for granted and suddenly I became aware that life is short and it's important to live every moment to its fullest! I asked, what can I do with this second chance at life and the answers came quickly. I became a dedicated student of meditation, started walking and eventually trained for several 5ks and half marathons. My life is driven by rigorous honesty, change for the better, and the determination to make a difference by helping others get their lives back on track!

The second act of my journey has given me 7 years of service and sponsorship in the recovery community. The power of consistent personal commitment to recovery has taught me that personal accountability is the cornerstone of personal transformation, physically as well emotionally and intellectually. As a coach, I dedicate myself to your transformation on the inside and out!
