Hi there, beautiful soul! I'm Jen Watts.
I came to this work the way most women come to anything that changes their lives — through my own threshold.
I spent 25 years in corporate finance and nonprofit leadership. I was good at it. I was competent and capable and I knew how to make things work. What I didn't know how to do was listen to my body. I didn't know that my body had anything worth listening to.
Perimenopause changed that.
The symptoms were one thing — the fatigue, the brain fog, the weight that wouldn't move, the anxiety that arrived out of nowhere. But what stopped me in my tracks was the identity piece: who was I becoming? The woman I had been — organized, high-functioning, certain of her place — was composting. And nobody was talking about that part.
I started exploring somatic and embodiment practices, breathwork, Reiki, and whole-person coaching — not as a program, but out of necessity. And what I discovered was that the body is not the problem. The body is the map. It has been trying to get our attention for years before we finally stop and listen.
​
Now I help other women listen.
​
I work with women navigating the threshold of midlife and perimenopause — the years when everything is shifting and the old self is making way for something truer. I use somatic embodiment practice, breathwork, Reiki energy work, and transformational coaching, organized around a 5-Facet whole-person framework. I hold Women's Circles, guide embodiment journeys, facilitate retreats, and work with women privately.
​
I believe that what looks like falling apart is often the most important becoming of a woman's life. My work is to help you move through it with as much grace, understanding, and presence as possible.

I live in Lee's Summit, Missouri, with my partner. I am the proud mother of two adult daughters. I grow things — in my garden and in the women I work with. I practice what I teach: yoga, qi gong, walking, seasonal living, and the ongoing, imperfect work of coming home to myself.
​
When a woman leaves a session with me, I want her to feel more like herself than when she arrived. That's the whole intention.
