Meet Jen — Your Guide from Surviving to Thriving
Hi, I’m Jen. My journey to becoming a life coach and transformational guide began from my own path through pain, confusion, and survival. Like many, I faced moments where life felt overwhelming— where trauma, self-doubt, and chaos threatened to define me. But through deep inner work, expert coaching, and a relentless commitment to healing, I found my way out of survival mode into a place of true thriving. I know what it’s like to feel stuck, invisible, or like you’re just “getting by.” But I also know that inside every person lies a powerful, resilient spirit waiting to be awakened. That’s why I created From Surviving to Thriving™—to share the transformative tools and proven methods that helped me reclaim my life, so you can do the same.
With empathy, expertise, and a belief that healing can be both gentle and powerful, I’m here to walk beside you, helping you rediscover your strength, joy, and purpose—no matter where you are right now.
With years of experience in life coaching, NLP, trauma healing, and transformational psychology, I’m passionate about helping people reclaim their lives from overwhelm, pain, and survival mode. I combine cutting-edge science with compassionate coaching to create lasting change that empowers you to live with joy, resilience, and purpose. My signature program, From Surviving to Thriving™, is a transformative 12-month journey designed to support anyone—no matter their struggles—in healing deep wounds, rewiring limiting beliefs, and stepping confidently into a vibrant, empowered future. If you’re ready to move beyond just getting by and start truly thriving, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
My clients transform themselves and their lives
I became a coach because I know what it’s like to feel like you're drowning in silence — surviving but not truly living. I’ve lived through trauma, felt the numbness of emotional shutdown, and carried guilt and shame that didn’t belong to me. For years, I wore the mask of “strong,” while silently breaking inside.
But then I found the tools that changed everything: coaching, NLP, inner child healing, reparenting, trauma education, and the power of being truly seen and supported. Slowly, I began to rebuild. And through that process, I knew I had to help others do the same.
I became a coach to help people who feel like they’re just holding it together — the ones who give so much but rarely receive support. The ones stuck in survival mode who are ready to rise, even if they don’t know how yet. This isn’t just a job for me. It’s my calling. I believe healing is possible — no matter your past, no matter how long you’ve been stuck. And I believe everyone deserves to move from merely surviving… to fully, joyfully thriving
My Training & Methods
I am a certified NLP Practitioner and Life Coach with advanced training in trauma-informed care, CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy), mindfulness-based self-compassion, inner child work, and shadow integration. My work blends science-backed psychological frameworks with deep emotional insight to create coaching that is both practical and profoundly healing.
I draw from proven methods studied at top institutions like Harvard, Yale, and Princeton — combining the best of coaching, psychology, and neuroscience to support real, lasting transformation. Each session is shaped by your needs, not a script, and grounded in compassion, safety, and empowerment.
This is not surface-level coaching. It’s deep, integrative work designed to rewire beliefs, build emotional resilience, and guide you out of survival mode and into your fullest, most thriving self.
My Values & Mission
At the heart of my work are the values of compassion, authenticity, courage, and transformation. I believe in meeting people exactly where they are — not with judgment, but with deep respect for their journey. Healing doesn’t happen through pressure or perfection. It happens through safety, connection, and the brave choice to keep showing up.
My mission is to guide women and families out of survival mode and into a life of self-trust, emotional freedom, and joyful thriving. I’m here to help you rewrite the beliefs that were never yours to carry, reclaim the parts of yourself you had to abandon, and become the version of yourself you’ve always sensed was possible.
Because I don’t just believe healing is possible — I believe it’s your birthright.
At Swan XO, we believe that everyone has the power to create the life they desire.
