It’s nice to meet you!
Chances are you found WellMatters because you’re looking to step up your nutrition game. That’s awesome; I’m glad you’re here!
I’m sure you’ve been hearing a lot about food, diets, nutrition, and lifestyle over the last several years. Maybe you’ve jumped all in or perhaps you’ve just dipped your toes in the water.
Wherever you are in your health and nutrition journey, I can help.
Hello! My name is Jen Collingwood and I am dual certified in Applied Nutritional Coaching by Precision Nutrition and the Nutritional Coaching Institute. I am also a Girls Gone Strong certified Women’s Coaching Specialist.
I help people reclaim and optimize their health by focusing on practical changes in diet and lifestyle. Instead of taking things away, we explore how to add nourishing foods, mindset shifts, and consistent movement into your daily routine.
Together, we uncover your deeper “why” and set realistic goals with regular check-ins to keep you motivated and on track.
Since no two journeys are alike, this is never a one-size-fits-all program.
We collaborate to create a plan that supports your personal goals, suits your lifestyle, and makes room for growth at a pace that feels manageable.
My goal is to help you feel empowered, energized, and confident in your path to better health—without the stress of restrictive dieting or extreme workouts.
I was once in the same place you are. I began my health journey 17 years ago first as a way to lose weight, and eventually, as a means to regain my health. In that time, while I thought I was taking care of my body by losing weight, I was actually treating my body poorly by following fad diets, consuming copious amounts of artificial sweeteners, restricting my caloric intake and doing tons of cardio. Eventually, I ended up with an ulcerative colitis diagnosis in 2014. When my gastroenterologist told me my diet had nothing to do with my condition I pushed back and started researching how I might be able to heal myself. That’s when it all began to make sense: what I ate was literally making me sick. I knew if food was making me ill, surely it could also make me well!
You don’t have to create a ton of new habits all at once, and you don’t have to give up everything you love. Taking small steps toward your goals is the key to successful change. The best part: improving one area of your life will lead to improvements in other areas of your life; a ripple effect of positive change!
We can’t predict our futures, but we can make each day the best it can be. Investing in yourself today by taking steps to become the best version of you will set you up for success in body, mind and spirit!
