About Me

At Jena Wellness we are dedicated to helping you feel in sync your body and reach the goals and desires you have for your own health and wellbeing. Working with the support of a health counselor and personalized recommendations tailored just for you and your specific circumstances, you will see real results.

We take into respect the inextricably links between the food we eat and what we call "primary food" - career, exercise, relationship and spirituality. For example it can be difficult to find the energy to exercise when your nutrition is lacking, and it can be difficult to eat well when you struggle to take a break from work for lunch. We support you to make gradual changes in your food and your lifestyle, establishing sustainable ways of reaching your health goals.

Who we are for you as holistic health counselors is a multi-faceted answer. We are at once counselors, educators, and coaches. We are your cheerleaders, someone to hold your hand and say, "you can do it!" We are someone to hold you accountable, and someone to help you figure out the practical nitty-gritty details of how to translate your good ideas into reality, given the complexities of your hectic day-to-day schedule. Beyond that, our role is to get you more in touch and connected with your own body's wisdom, empowering you as your own health expert.

Jena la Flamme is the director of the Jena Wellness Group. She is a certified Holistic Health Counselor, workshop leader, yoga instructor and published columnist whose first book is due for release in April 2007. Her work guides clients in addressing weight loss, low energy, and other health concerns through a fun, easy and pleasurable approach to nutrition and lifestyle choices.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

You if...

You are you an active person, with a full and demanding life, who wants to be healthier and experience a greater feeling of balance, wellbeing and energy.
You are interested in looking at the full picture of health, taking into respect the relationship between food and lifestyle choices.
You don't like the term "diet", and measurements that are difficult or impossible to live by like calories, ounces or grams aren't your style.
You are curious about being more in tune with your own body's messages and urges, and becoming empowered to be your own nutritional expert.
You know there must be a better, more successful, enjoyable, convenient and sustainable way to eat well and would happily do it if you just knew what it was!

I have eagle eyesight now

After years of contemplation of laser eye surgery, and half my life wearing glasses and contact lenses, I finally listened to my best friend's urging to get laser eye surgery. My sister had had it, as...
