Vital. Resilient. Energized.
That’s how I want women to feel, every single day.
I want you to feel good in your own skin.
I want you to feel like you have enough energy to sail through the day, no matter what comes up.
I want you to feel delighted to see your friends and family instead of feeling overwhelmed and even resentful of their needs.
I want you to rise up and do things that bring you joy…
…instead of feeling so drained that you default to another night of Netflix.
Here’s what I want you to know:
It’s not just you.
You’re not uniquely bad at managing stress or emotions
You aren’t the only one who is burned out
Talk to ANY woman or person with a marginalized identity and you will hear the same thing:
WE ARE TIRED.
The myth of work-life balance keeps women trapped in a cycle of chronic stress where they try to meet all the expectations at work, at home, in their families and with friends.
That’s why women are burning out, physically and mentally.
Their bodies are begging for a rest, for support, for time and space to heal.
And yet they keep going because that’s what is required of them.
They override the messages from their bodies – the fatigue, pain and loss of passion – until the whispers become screams.
And then they – we! – grasp at self-care strategies that only provide superficial relief, and actually set us up for failure.
Our band-aid self-care solutions give women enough energy to recharge and jump back into their busy lives, but not enough time and space to create lasting change.
It’s time to take stress reduction for women seriously.
It’s time to do stress reduction differently.
When you combine evidence-based stress-reduction and energy-boosting strategies,
plus your own deep self-knowledge –
because when it comes to your body and your life,
you ARE the #1 expert –
you can get there:
VITALITY. RESILIENCE.
Your best life – no matter how challenging
everything around you is.
VITALITY is your 12-week stress reduction program
designed to help you create sustainable habits & systems
that increase your energy and resilience
This program gives you the skills and daily routines you need to step out of the cycle of chronic stress and into your most vital, resilient self.
Yes, you can…
- Feel happy and healthy and resilient instead of depleted by chronic stress
- Connect with your body and regulate your nervous system

- Take care of yourself in a way that doesn’t make your to-do list longer

Your bodily intelligence already has the tools built in

a personalized stress reduction system that works for you!
And this is our work together.
About Jenna
Hello, I’m Jenna Kelland. I’m a holistic mental wellness coach. I operate at the intersection of mental health, self-care, nutrition and REAL LIFE.
My work draws upon my training in holistic nutrition, my PhD in adult education and my research into mental health and wellness. My work is evidence-based and designed to work with your body and your brain instead of against it.
Personally speaking, I’ve been through a devastating burnout that kept me stuck at home for 6 months. This experience made me radically change the priorities in my life to put my own health first.
As a neurodivergent mom of three differently wired teens, I have a lot of first-hand experience helping my own family find their own ways to flourish within systems that aren’t designed for them.
What all of that means for you is I’ve distilled the research into practical steps – ones that I’ve successfully used in my own life. I help women understand how chronic stress affects their physical and mental health and I show you how to find their own vitality and resilience.
Because you deserve to live your best, most energized life – no matter what it throws at you!
The How-to–be-Kind-to-Yourself
Stress Reduction Program
What’s included in VITALITY:
6 bi-weekly modules
6 modules that feature different evidence-based strategies to reduce stress and regulate the nervous system. Each one will include video lessons with transcripts to explain the why and how of each strategy. A new module will be released every 2 weeks to give you time to review the content with an invitation to explore the strategy and reflect on how it works for you.
You’ll learn about the effects of chronic stress and how to tap into your body’s innate ability to respond to stress without burning out.
The modules will also include strategies to support behaviour change so you can implement sustainable habits for lasting results. (I don’t want you to forget everything you’ve learned as soon as the program ends and revert to feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.)
Workbook
A workbook with space for exploration and reflection to help you identify what works for you. Not every strategy will feel like it fits for you right now. I encourage you to approach each one with a sense of curiosity and openness to see how it could be adapted to your context. You’ll find some strategies are a great fit, some may need to be adjusted to suit you and some might not work for you right now. By the end of the program, you’ll have your own menu of self-care strategies you can draw on to help respond to stress and build resilience.
Tracking Tools
Compassionate tracking tools to help you record progress (because your brain likes to see measurable outcomes) without feeling guilt or overwhelm. I’ll share a couple of my favourite tracking apps too, for people who prefer online tracking options.
Stress and Wellbeing Assessment and Two 1-1 Meetings
A Stress and Wellbeing Assessment at the beginning and end of the program to show the results of the program because our brains like evidence and we don’t tend to notice a gradual change as it is happening. We’ll meet 1 on 1 at the beginning and end of the program to talk about the results of the assessment and your unique needs and goals.
Individualized Support
Individualized, private support using Voxer so you can ask questions or get support as you try new strategies. This will also include weekly opportunities to check in and share your successes and realizations!
Testimonials
Jenna doesn’t just talk the talk, she has walked the walk, and it shows! She has been there, so she knows what you need before you do. She provided me with such a wealth of helpful resources. It was amazing!
Before, I went through my days not recognizing that there is a connection between the two. It felt like my energy levels and emotions were things that just happened to me. Now I feel empowered to make choices that give me a chance to be at my best.
Her style is very low-pressure and low-stress. Rather than piling on a list of to-dos, she gives you lots of options and flexibility and helps you find ways to fit healthy habits into your life. She gives practical, easy-to-implement suggestions without being prescriptive or preachy.
Thanks to you, I have been able to keep up with all of the demands of my new school, students, and staff. I had a great first week! The positive energy is palpable and staff and students are enthusiastic. My kind of vibe!
I bought some treats for my students and haven’t eaten a single one…and don’t seem to have any interest or cravings!!
Since I met you and started this new journey I’ve lost about 3 pounds and my skin looks soooo much better!! 🙂
I’m just so happy that we met! I had no idea the results would be this amazing or work this quickly. Small changes add up to “I feel great!” Many thanks!
Before I started with Jenna, I’d tried a lot of different things. I’d discovered food sensitivities in my family which have proven challenging for other experts to work around. So I wondered whether Jenna would have new and usable ideas that would work for me and my family.
Jenna had practical ideas that took into account not only our sensitivities but our preferences and lifestyle.
Food in our lives is complex. Jenna took some of the anxiety and stress out of our meal preparation, which has freed us up to enjoy our meals that much more.
