We’re Chris & Jenn
We’re Chris & Jenn, and together we’re Whole Human. We created Whole Human because we believe that everyone deserves to lead a life of quality and wholeness. We understand that the paths we all walk are not straight, but full of twists and turns, sometimes leading us forward and sometimes taking us back. We know this, because we’ve lived it. And we know that it is possible to find our way to wholeness and a life of quality.
We’ve been together as a couple for a very long time, and through that time we’ve both walked our own paths, stepping through the hard spots and the good spots of our individual growth – together. One thing we’ve learned for sure is that when we work together, we’re better. This is why we’re here together as Whole Human: Healing and Transformation. Because our individual paths have gifted us different experiences and gifts, and when we’re aligned, we can bring all of what we know and have learned to helping you.
In our work, we believe that collaboration is essential, which is why we work together – and why we collaborate with you and your inner self. We know that within you are all the answers you need to have a life of quality, and together we can help you find them.
This is your invitation:
To come home to yourself.
To let go of the things within you that are keeping you from a joyful, quality life.
You get to decide what that looks like for you.
The work is yours, but you don’t have to walk the path alone.
How We Hold Space for You
When we work together, our first priority is creating a space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered—no matter what you’re carrying.
This is a space where there’s no pressure to be anything other than who you are. You don’t have to worry about “doing it right.” The truth is, you can’t do it wrong. Your body and subconscious already know how to guide your healing. Our role is simply to walk alongside you—to hold space, offer support, and help you stay connected to your own inner wisdom.
Many of our clients come to us carrying anxiety, overwhelm, stress, or even a sense of numbness. In our work together, We follow your pace. We don’t push or direct—We gently mirror what’s showing up for you and respond with care. Everything we do is grounded in respect for your emotional safety and agency.
Whether we’re meeting virtually or in person, the space we create together is one where you can breathe, soften, and begin to let go of what no longer serves you. You are not alone here. You are seen, held, and honored on this healing journey.
Jenn’s Story
I internalized every negative comment and was relentlessly my own harshest critic. I did not push back with my own boundaries or my own perspective. I equated my personal value with how hard I worked. When I got stressed, I pretended that working harder would make it easier to ignore.
I grew up trying to take care of others. I did that by being happy, staying silent, and being a good girl. I felt responsible for others’ emotions, especially the adults in my life. At the same time, I felt a spark of life and achievement that never seemed to be filled. I wanted to travel, to climb, to try everything, to be everywhere, to connect and experience all the things.
How did that manifest in me? I volunteered on ten different boards, I dragged my toddler to night meetings. I started a farm and numerous side gigs. I said yes to everything that was asked of me at work and created an extra to-do list that wasn’t part of my job, “but seemed essential”. I internalized every negative comment and was relentlessly my own harshest critic. I did not push back with my own boundaries or my own perspective. I equated my personal value with how hard I worked. When I got stressed, I pretended that working harder would make it easier to ignore. I disappeared inside my roles and ignored my own internal knowing.
The result? I took on too much and the tower of cards began to fall. I burned out at my place of work and kept missing deadlines and meeting obligations. I buried myself in shame and exhaustion. I slept 4-5 hours a night. I doomscrolled. I woke up in the night with pounding chest pains and a spinning brain about the next thing on the to-do list. My brain simply never shut off. I skipped meals and then mindlessly ate. I hid inside TV, food, and audiobooks when I wasn’t working, hoping to quiet my mind for just a little while to give myself some peace.
Whew. I can feel all those feelings now as I write this…and how far away they feel now, as if they happened to another person. I many ways, that was a completely different version of me.
Today, I use RIM, process-based art, physical practices like ecological farming, and meditation to truly live without self-judgement, fear, or anxiety. I am practicing a quality life that include room for oneself AND others; all of us as whole beings. I believe we all deserve that.
Chris’s Story
For more than 20 years I constantly strove for more and more success, believing that it would help me feel safe and protected from my deep anxiety and fear. On the outside, it looked like I was thriving —but inside, I was burned out, disconnected, and running on empty.
As a child, I experienced emotions intensely. Not just my emotions, but everyone’s emotions, which made the psychological abuse and emotional chaos that surrounded my family overwhelming and unsafe. The intensity and instability of my younger years led me to always be in a state of alert, full of anxiety and fear.
My fear and anxiety ruled my life, when I wasn’t working, I was avoiding people – I was hiding from my life and who I really was. Numbing through food and drugs was how I survived. My constant striving for success through my work was an illusion. On the outside, it looked like I was successful – but inside I was burned out, disconnected, and running on empty.
The turning point came when I realized I had spent years caring for responsibilities, but not for myself. I couldn’t feel much of anything—just stress, numbness, and the dull ache that something vital was missing. That realization sparked a deep inner journey that led me to a path of healing and self-evolution.
Today, I work with people who carry the weight of emotional wounds—whether they show up as stress, overwhelm, numbness, anxiety, confusion, or just a deep sense of being off-track.
Today, I use tools like RIM, breathwork, guided meditation, and energetic presence to help clients safely reconnect with the parts of themselves that have been shut down or buried. I also work with voice as a healing tool—bringing sound and tone into sessions to support nervous system regulation and emotional release.
I draw on my background in leadership, program development, and systems thinking to offer grounded, practical support—but the heart of my work is about helping people come home to themselves.
