Jenny Gessler, Elevation Coaching Bio: I have a heartfelt passion for helping others thrive in all areas of their lives. I was born and raised in majestic Alaska and am a lover of the great outdoors. I’m most at peace when found deep in the woods enjoying nature and spending time with my dogs. I’m a military wife with a handy husband who should have his own cooking show. I’ve been known to dig recycling out of the trash even though everyone tells me it ends up in the ocean and I am never without a gallon jug of water by my side. My career as a physical trainer and business consultant has been devoted to helping others achieve their goals both physically and mentally, unlocking their potential for maximum growth. My motto in life is to be open to change and being committed to becoming a better version of you. email: jen@elvcoach.com website: https://www.elevateyourlife.coach IG: https://www.instagram.com/elevationcoaching_jen_gessler
