Jenn Johnson - Hi, I’m Jenn Johnson, a certified health coach and Enneagram and Marriage coach. I live in New Bern, North Carolina, a beautiful, small town located on the intercoastal waterway. I work with both individuals and couples and offer Zoom sessions with flexible times. My passion for exercise and nutrition led me to study as a health coach at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. There I learned a bio-individual approach to holistic health and finding the root cause of a problem, rather than just a temporary solution. I believe health is much more than just physical exercise and nutrition, but also mental and emotional well-being. I am also certified as an Enneagram and Marriage coach. I help my clients understand their Enneagram types and peel back all the aspects of it to help them advance in their personal growth and development, as well as in their relationship. I believe in equipping my clients with tools and action steps to help them move forward and break out of the past cycles they have been stuck in. I provide accountability and support to help my clients through their challenges and celebrate their successes. I look forward to meeting new clients and learning and growing from all of you!
