TESTIMONIALS
I found my coaching with Jen helped me gain helpful insights and greater clarity by clearing the fear, limiting beliefs and emotions that kept cropping up. Sometimes it is intensely painful to be that honest with yourself but the satisfaction of meeting the challenges head on is uplifting, and far exceeds the pain of not following through on your dream!
I am so grateful for this.
Rebecca
I thought the sessions were great. I have learnt a lot about myself and what I want to achieve in my life. I have learnt about creating balance and how to go about achieving that in order to be successful. The biggest thing was being given the tools and the knowledge of how to apply them to all areas of my life to achieve the success I want for me and my family. I have been able to eliminate unhealthy foods from my diet and I feel a lot better e.g. coffee, chocolate, cool drink. This now comes easily for me.
My Business is going much better and I now have an ‘abundance mindset’ and no longer have limitations in my thinking about wealth. As a result of this I have experienced more opportunities and work seems to be flowing into my business more. I have enjoyed the coaching and I would definitely recommend it.

After meeting with you, I really felt like you were the person that could really help inspire and teach me to reach the unlimited potential that I know I have inside, and have been waiting to reach for such a long time.
After our meeting things improved immediately - you inspired me in that short window.
I think that you are an inspirational person and I can see many people would flourish under your guidance - what you provide and how you present it makes it so tangible that you can almost reach out and touch your own success, whilst knowing that the work required to get there will be worth every step of the journey.

Before I spoke to Jen, I was overweight and felt ugly, ashamed and thought of myself inwardly as a big fat, ugly worthless person. To other people I showed this happy, fun, well adjusted person, who has a loving family, nice home and great job however I knew something was holding me back as I felt like I was always sabotaging myself from being truly a fulfilled person and that’s when I thought maybe I should try the Jenesis TOTAL Mind and Body program and OMG I wish I had access to something like this years ago.
I have tried every diet under the sun and always managed to lose weight but of course gained it all back and some over time. What I did not know was that being overweight had nothing to do with food. With Jen, who by the way is an absolute gem, helped me release the issues that were causing me to be overweight and she gave me the tools to work with and the rest is just so easy. Too good to be true comes to mind but it truly works and is much easier than you could ever believe - you just need Jen to help you get there.
I cannot overstate the value of this program and it was achieved in only two days!!!!
I am amazed at how good I feel about every part of my life. I have been holding myself back in so many aspects of my life and was not even aware of it; Jen cleared all the negative issues I had (which I was not even aware of) and now I feel really truly free and empowered and completely in control of my life - do you know how awesome that is?
This absolutely works and to everyone, I say in the words of the Nike ads……..Just Do It , IT WILL BE THE BEST THING YOU EVER DO.

I approached Jen to help with me losing some unwanted weight after years of trying every diet and fitness program known to man with little to no success. No matter what I tried and how hard I exercised, my weight still managed to creep up year by year. I was a mess when I first saw Jen, breaking into tears just telling her about my life in general. I hoped that Jen's approach would work but there was still a very big part of me that didn't really believe it was possible - after all, I had failed so many other times.
At the start we didn't even talk about weight loss specifically, but focused more on clearing all the negative emotions that were causing me to eat. What has happened since then has absolutely amazed me. Without me even trying, I no longer crave "bad" foods. Making the decision between a sausage roll and a salad sandwich is a no-brainer. Exercise is something I can't wait to do. One week when I had hurt my back and couldn't exercise, I jumped on the scales expecting to see that the weight had piled back on, but much to my shock I had continued to lose weight! My body now knows what it needs to do.
The effects have extended far beyond losing my unwanted fat too. In just a few short weeks since clearing those negative emotions I have mended some deeply damaged relationships within my family, I am closer to my husband and I am crossing goals off my "to do" list like a woman possessed! Basically, I feel like I'm winning at life. I'm now constantly happy with a smile on my face for no particular reason...all while rocking the skirt I couldn't fit into last year!
My only regret is not allowing myself to do this sooner. I’m excited for what the future now holds for me.

Going to see a life coach about something as insignificant as a few extra kilos at first seemed highly self-indulgent. However, after working through the sessions with Jen, I am so glad I decided to jump in feet first and tackle an issue that has been hanging around for years.
Talking through the mind-field that is emotional eating was the key I needed to make sense of the deprive - eat - guilt roundabout that many of us, including myself, jump on and never get off.
Jen provided me with many strategies that have helped me to eat mindfully and with enjoyment, not angst. Kilos gave come off and I feel confident that there is more to come but best of all, I am feeling as though I am finally letting go of the preoccupation with food and weight that has been a companion for a long time. Freedom!

The coaching program with Jennifer Atkins has been a real revelation for me. In my constant battle to lose weight - this time for good - I literally stumbled across Jennifer Atkins who assured me her approach was different. Jen's insight into the human psyche has been an amazing experience. I now benefit from a changed attitude and a changed way of thinking. Hunger for me had very little to with food and Jen provided me with some powerful strategies to help me understand/see what I was really hungry for. Thanks Jen

I know that there's more to life than eating, and it's not my mission to eat all the food I can. A few months ago I could not honestly speak that sentence. The coaching program has released me from feeling as though I'm a slave to food and living from meal to meal clutching to my treat day (which would often end up as a treat week), it's broken my belief that I have a relationship with food (whether good or bad) and I now see it as it is - a source of fuel for my body & something to be savoured and enjoyed not something I use to attempt to immediately satisfy my mind and emotions. It doesn't consume my every thought and I no longer have constant cravings, if any cravings at all. I had a small scoop of ice cream with a friend the other night, I ate it slowly, was aware of all of my senses and was left feeling completely satisfied and not wanting more more more. It was the best ice cream I'd ever eaten yet I haven't wanted any since. I also have an open block of chocolate in my fridge that's been there untouched for over a week, that's a big deal for me.
I always thought my problem was not being able to resist food which is why all other weight loss attempts resulted in rebound weight-gain as soon as the diet was over, the coaching made me aware that eating was my reaction to underlying issues. It's really not about the food. Just being asked a simple question or prompted to list triggers made me aware of many subconscious thoughts that were causing these unhealthy actions and reactions. Much to my surprise often this awareness alone was enough to stop the limiting beliefs and destructive thoughts.
The coaching is nothing like I thought it would be, there's no preaching, no consequences, no rules, no blame. Just explanations and solutions. The focus is rarely on what I think the problem is. I started the program to lose weight so I was expecting a strict diet and exercise plan, but we just worked through things from my past that I couldn't let go of, and talk about how I'm feeling - why I don't love myself (I didn't know I didn't love myself, I'd never thought about it before), why I thought I didn't deserve to lose weight and why I'm afraid to be thin (it's true!!). Address the issue and the weight sneaks off. A long term solution rather than a quick fix. There's no strange "stare at the swinging pendant", it's simply thinking about things in a different way. It's all about me and up to me, willpower doesn't even come into it. It's the first time I've ever felt empowered.
I can't believe how long I imprisoned myself because I didn't want to part with the money to pay for the coaching. It's been worth every cent and I'm only two thirds of the way through. If you think you don't have the willpower to lose weight or keep it off then please please please help yourself and work with Jen because you obviously have some things in your life (ie in your mind not in the pantry!) that are holding you back from being the best you!

After spending seven years living in a rut, I was lacking direction and belief in myself and was struggling to work out what I wanted from my life and my career. Jen helped me to focus. She offered different alternatives and perspectives to my behaviour in the past and helped me to devise strategies to help with decision making and problem solving in the future.
Although I still have moments of weakness where I fail to believe in my own ability to achieve, the strategies I learnt are able to help me take that first step into the unknown and to at least try. So far my attempts have all been met with success which gives me the courage to continue to put my hopes and dreams into action.
Jen is easy to talk to, supportive and patient. She genuinely cares about her clients. I felt safe and connected and at no time did I feel any judgement. I also know that when I require her help to re-encourage and inspire, she is only a phone call away.
It was through working with Jen that I gained the confidence to turn my life around and I look forward to bigger and better things in the future.
I wish Jen great success with “Jenesis Mind & Body” and suggest that anyone who needs support to make changes in their lives give her a call.

Waking up and facing the day ahead used to be so unappealing to me.I am a mother of four young boys and was finding everyday busy and a mundane routine that didn’t inspire or motivate me to better myself or make any changes that were positive.I forgot how to have fun and small things would become a big deal.My family was suffering.
Jen really helped me turn it all around.Her positive outlook on life is so infectious.The sessions that we have had have been such a motivating experience.Jen has helped me to put realistic goals into place and constantly motivates me to reach those goals.She has showed me how to move forward and to make positive changes that have made each day a more enjoyable experience.She has taught me to never under estimate myself and to always aim high.
Each session has been so inspiring.I am so comfortable sharing with Jen because I know that anything said is not judged and remains in strict confidence.
It has been such an empowering experience moving forward in my life. Everything seems to come so much easier and when the road gets rough I know that Jen is there to support and encourage me.
I can’t thank you enough Jen. You’re a true professional and a wonderful friend.Anybody who reads this and is searching for a way to get the best out of your life I highly recommend you contact Jen.
Margie
My decision to invest in you and not a Tiffanies ring was a bloody excellent one. I have this deep sense of peace that I have never really had before. I feel happy almost all of the time. I truly love my life and I feel like I smile much more and frown much less. Life does not happen to me anymore, I make life happen and I feel so privileged that a woman of your calibre came into my life and taught me how to be the best Bec. You are very inspiring and you have given me more than I could have hoped or dreamed of when I started out this particular journey.
Rebecca
Most people see life coaching as a negative thing for people who have something wrong with them. This is a serious misconception. I feel I have grown more as a person in the last 12 weeks than I have in 2 years. I have achieved more goals in 12 weeks with Jen than in 2 years. I feel so happy, confident and assertive. Jen has given me the tools I need to take my life to the next level and I am forever grateful. Thank you so much.
Iolande
Thank-you for all that you have done for me.I am truly grateful for the opportunity to work with you and all that you have taught me.There really are not enough word to express how thankful I am for the work that we did together. So many people - including my "partner" - see life coaching as being weird or a waste of time, and it absolutely is not! I think I still would have been in the same rut, being miserable with my job, appearance and living situation, if it hadn't been for you. Thank-you so much for everything.
When I met you, I was struggling with many aspects of my life – my health, my career, my interpersonal relationships, you name it! You helped me to listen to myself and figure out what I really want out of life.I was able to make many positive changes in my life and to find the courage to leave the situations that were causing me so much negativity. Most importantly, you helped me to know that it’s OK to speak your mind and go after the things you want in life, even if it means going down a different path from what others expect out of you.I now have the confidence to achieve my goals and live my best life.
Thank-you again for everything.It has been a pleasure working with you.You have been a wonderful friend to me, and I really appreciated knowing that I could count on you at anytime when I was struggling.It’s great to know that there’s someone out there that supports me and is cheering me on no matter what.
Aymie
After only one session I left with a new sense of awareness about myself. I felt positive with a new desire to move forward with my life and achieve my own goals. Thank you.
Julie
My own world, my one and only life is completely and totally 100% on track. I cannot believe the place I was only one year ago. Not that I like to think back to those times often, I’m too busy looking forward, but sometimes I find myself thinking back, to reflect and reposition and reconfirm within myself of who and what I am and my own potential and the amazing people in my world. Thank you for spending time with me and putting my options in front of me and making me realise my potential. You rock!!
Kylie
Thanks to your amazing life coaching I am now working as a part time TV presenter and have just started my own skincare business in WA. I am so much happier and almost completely stress free - still using the tools you gave me to get through every day.
Iolande
I feel a lot more empowered and feel that I now give myself proper due diligence and proper respect. The whole process has helped me find the direction I needed in my career. My mind-set is different.
Andy
The best thing I ever did was to contact Jen and make that first appointment. It has changed my life forever and I will never look back again! Jen has helped me change my thoughts about life and has helped me be the person I want to be. I have lost one dress size. I stopped having to take medication for high blood pressure. I am more confident and love myself more than ever. I am happy and content with life. I have also achieved the feeling of being fit and healthy. I used to struggle to walk for 15 -20 minutes and I now do 1 hour classes of boxing and pump and can also run on the treadmill!! I am so extremely happy that I did meet Jen. She is one in million and she is so caring and supportive. Thank you Jen for being part of my life and making it better. You are awesome and I owe you so much.
Danielle
I am much more clear about what it is that causes me to eat inappropriately: practical and emotional reasons. I have much more self belief and I don’t beat myself up nearly so much when I make mistakes. I am starting to learn from mistakes and see them as feedback. Therefore I have made a lot of progress in terms of weight loss and I’m starting to see this is about changing habits for a lifetime. I can now say diets are stupid!
For anyone who is planning to lose weight I’d highly recommend Jenesis mind and body to help clear limiting beliefs. We all know the theory about weight loss and wish it was so simple but Jen has made it so much easier for me. She has a great balance of style in that she is warm and supportive but at the same time challenging and pushes me out of my comfort zone. She works at my pace but doesn’t let me slack.
Sara
Before seeing Jen, I felt like a loser, totally down and out, exhausted and overwhelmed by life and past negative experiences.
I’d always been able to pick myself up and push myself to keep going, but after so many years of the same struggle and to only find things getting worse and worse, I felt my life was just one big downward spiral. It seem that no matter what self-help methods I used, how many attempts I made or how hard I tried, my negative sense of self was just too powerful.
I had always thought I would never give up on my dreams and of living to my fullest potential, but I was at a point where I felt buried under so much failure, that my hopes for positive change had almost been completely defeated. It seemed everything I had fought so hard to change within myself would simply fight back stronger and harder.
For me seeing Jen really felt like a last final attempt for me to actively help myself.
Working with Jen was brilliant! It’s the best thing I have ever done for myself, as I can honestly say FINALLY something has truly worked for me!
Although I felt completely ashamed of the mess my life was in, I never felt judged by Jen, I loved that she was so positive and she always treated me with respect. I’d never had someone before believe in me like Jen did, always encouraging me to reach for the stars and to grab them with both hands!
The first few sessions with Jen were dedicated to releasing me from past emotional blocks through NLP. Jen was very professional, always monitoring my progress and making sure I was getting the results I desired.
To my absolute surprise I could feel things shifting within me straight away! Along with the extra tools Jen gave me, I was amazed to find it wasn’t long before I didn’t feel the need to focus on painful experiences anymore and I instead began focusing on the positive.
For the first time in my life my future looked brighter by simply using the many tools and logical helpful advice Jen gave to me. Although some of these tools I had already tried in the past but to no avail, I found working with Jen was the missing link to success, as she taught me how to really make the tools work for me and how to integrate them into my life until they became habitual.
I now know I hold the controls to my emotions and that it’s up to me to choose how I want to feel. When something bad happens and I begin to feel despondent, it doesn’t hold me down like before, because I now know how to get over it, to re-focus and to get back on track!
I absolutely 100% recommend Jen! After all she helped pull me out of a very dark place, something no therapist, self help book or medication has been able to do.
I honestly can’t thank Jen enough, she’s helped me get started on a brand new positive life!
Hazel
Working with Jen has helped me to recognise my own strengths, to value myself and to help me discover who I am and what I want for my life. She asked the right questions so that I could find my own answers. She encouraged me so that I felt sure of my abilities and proved my own sense of self worth. She helped me to recognise my fears and gave me the tools and guidance to overcome them. Once I was able to identify my fears, it was easier to overcome them and keep them from stopping me on my journey to a more meaningful and full life. She kept me focused on what I wanted to change in my life and the steps necessary to achieve that change. I am on my way to a happier and healthier future thanks to the work that I did with Jen.
Sheree
Just wanted to say thanks again for all the work you did with me. I'm feeling fantastic and acting & thinking like a normal person - hooray! The weight loss has been slower than I expected, but it's been steady and no regression and I'm not even that bothered by it anymore anyway. I didn't think I'd lost any weight (and it's hard to tell without scales!) but over Easter all my family kept saying how great I was looking, so on the weekend I tried on some jeans that I haven't been able to pull up over my thighs for months and they actually fit without muffin top! I'm so much more organised. I manage to fit in 30 minutes of exercise most days and have been automatically reaching for simple, healthy snacks. Really the only tool I'm having to use is to pause and listen to my body and think about how I'll feel after I do/eat what I know I should, the rest is just automatic. I can even stop eating when I'm full without being conscious of it.
