About Jennifer

Founder of Zach Coaching, LLC and creator of The 3N Model™: Notice, Name, Navigate | Author of Somatic Awareness: Leading with Body Intelligence | Speaker | Coach

Hi, I’m Jennifer — and I help leaders, teams, and individuals move from stress to strength and find clarity in the moments that matter most.

Not through more spreadsheets or performance plans (though I understand those, too), but by guiding people back to their body’s intelligence — a source of insight too often overlooked in high-pressure workplaces and personal transitions alike.

Long before I had a name for it, I was living the principles of somatic awareness: tuning into physical sensations as a source of clarity, resilience, and grounded decision-making.

It wasn’t until I trained under Dr. Peter Levine — a pioneer in the field of somatic healing — that I fully understood its transformative power. Not just for individuals, but for teams, organizations, and systems.

Bringing the Body Into the Work

I spent more than two decades in corporate and nonprofit environments — from financial services to utilities to nonprofit museum work — navigating deadlines, restructures, and leadership pressures from the inside. I know what it’s like to sit in the tension between performance and well-being.

That’s why I advocate for somatic awareness as an essential life and leadership skill.

Through my 3N Model™ — Notice, Name, Navigate — I equip people with body-based tools to recognize what’s happening inside, regulate in real time, and lead with greater calm, clarity, and connection.

This approach builds psychological safety, unlocks hidden potential, and supports healthier human and business outcomes.

Why I Do This Work

Because life and leadership don’t have to come at the cost of mental or physical health.

Because stress, disconnection, and burnout aren’t just personal problems — they’re systemic, and they’re solvable.

And because I’ve seen what’s possible when people come home to themselves and lead from a place of internal steadiness and authentic presence.

If you're ready to explore what’s possible — for yourself, your team, or your family — I’d love to connect.

This work isn’t about fixing. It’s about processing, integrating, and returning to the answers you already carry.

🌀 Calm body. Clear mind. A life worth living.
