Jennifer Colatarci grew up in a very athletic house hold. Her grandfather owned a sporting goods store and her parents owned a fitness company, so she learned at a young age how important a healthy life style was. As a child she played soccer and ran track allowing her stay active. As high school hit and she stopped playing sports the weight began to creep up on her. With her low self-esteem and bouts of depression she began to see how bad her emotional eating disorder really was. All though she grew up in a house that portrayed a healthy lifestyle, she also had the other side of it the mental abuse of her father. The negative words that were always spoken to her about herself, her siblings and her mother. This is what started the cycle of her using food to comfort herself of the love she always wanted from a father.
At 22 Jennifer had her first son and within 5 years she had 5 pregnancies. She had 4 healthy sons and lost a daughter during pregnancy. Thru each pregnancy she stayed active, but still had that extra 30-40 lbs to lose every time. The emotional and physical toll it took on her to stay active, positive and motivated to lose weight was a roller coaster ride. As women know the hormonal ups and downs of post partum and the weight after a child is enough to endure let alone a loss of a child and battling depression over the years.
As her youngest turned 2 she had enough of feeling sorry for herself. She wanted to help others reach their goals just like her. In 2000 is got her Personal/Group training certificate and began teaching classes at a variety of community centers, schools and parks. Allowing her to reach out to as many people as she could that needed her help.
As she hit another low point in her life, a divorce in 2004 she really began searching for more answers and tools to help her self overcome addiction to food for good!! Over the next 3 years she began to really focus on the emotional issues of weight loss and finding the right combination to help her clients to reach and maintain their goals. She received her Master Life Coaching Certificate in 2008 and Reiki Master Certificate in 2006, which allowed her to help her clients heal on even a different level. As we all know every day is a struggle and its never easy, but by learning certain tools to keep you on path of a healthy life style is the key to success.
