Today on the blog I’m featuring my friend Jennifer from FasciaFitnessOnline. Jennifer is a Master Level Trainer and Certified Fascianator. She offers online classes as well as in-person classes here in the Denver area. Few weeks ago I had the opportunity to stop by during one of Jennifer’s in-person classes to document one of her sessions. I enjoyed watching Jennifer teach her class and doing what she does best.
So grab you favorite cup of coffee or tea and get to know my friend Jennifer!

I love stories. What’s your story?
Because of my strong desire to help others – I pursued a degree in nutrition and became a registered dietitian. I worked as a hospital-based dietitian before stepping into sales. I sold hospital feeding systems, then pharmaceuticals for HIV.
I met my husband later in life and became a mom of twins at 39. As an older parent, my passion for health and fitness became more important which ultimately led me to becoming a health focused entrepreneur. My personal health challenges with an undiagnosed autoimmune disease-causing chronic inflammation, left me feeling constantly tired. I was introduced to an opportunity to embrace & share activated nutrition 13 years ago. It has been a very rewarding and fulfilling way to use my teaching skills to connect with and help others.
Then, 5 years ago, I was introduced to fascia and how it is the missing link to complete fitness. With my belief that we can help our bodies heal themselves naturally when given the missing tools, I decided to embrace fascial fitness with The Fascianator Method for myself. My positive personal experience led to my certification and the launch of my business, Fascia Fitness Online, LLC.

Tell me about your business?
My business: Fascia Fitness Online, LLC
I am a Master Level Trainer, Certified Fascianator Method Practitioner and AFAA Certified Group Fitness Instructor. I offer Online Fascianator Method Classes by Zoom, In Person and On-Demand 24/7 membership.
I offer Fasciantor Method Practitioner Certification which can add significant value for those who are: body worker/fitness instructors/personal trainers/studio owners/ & coaches in meeting that needs of clients in achieving the best version of themselves.
After teaching this method in person for a year, I started my online zoom classes in March 2020 during the pandemic, then launched Fascia Fitness Online 24/7 in December 2020, giving members access and guidance to fascial fitness 24/7. No Excuses!
I have a Bachelor’s degree and background in Nutrition and have been passionate about health and fitness for more than 36 years.
When I was introduced to fascial fitness with The Fascianator Method of self-myofascial release (SMR), developed by Anthony and Eileen Chrisco, I fell in love with it. I knew immediately it was my missing link to helping my body feel better and do more! I believe we have a blessing for those who are open to learning how they can help their body heal itself naturally – far more effectively.
Personally, I haven’t suffered from long term chronic “tissue issues”. I have experienced being “sidelined” from the things I love to do – because of acute pain due to over-exercising and improper stretching in my hip flexors, calves, lower back, and piriformis sciatica. I had been seeing a chiropractor for glutes/piriformis /sciatic issues for a few months without any real progress.
I attended a Fascianator Method class and had immediate reduction in my pain. Healthy fascia has been called “The Missing Link” in fitness. This is a perfect way to activate and optimize your fitness so you can achieve optimal performance, endurance, and strength with the management of disease, fatigue, and stress without pain.
Upon leaving corporate America in 2001, to stay home after the birth of my twin sons, I found myself with the need to connect with others. My background in nutrition, health & sales allowed me the arena to create an opportunity to teach the things that can be the difference maker with others.

Why did you become an entrepreneur?
Upon leaving corporate America in 2001, to stay home after the birth of my twin sons, I found myself with the need to connect with others. With a background in nutrition, health & sales I embraced the opportunity to create an opportunity to teach the things I have found can be the difference maker with others.
Who is your ideal client?
My ideal clients are individuals who embrace fitness and have found themselves sidelined by pain or injuries. They are looking for solutions without drugs or surgery, to have better performance, endurance, and strength, with the management of disease, stress, fatigue, and pain so they can do the things they love to do.
As an entrepreneur we face a lot of challenges, what has been your biggest challenge?
While I do conduct some in person classes, most of the classes I teach are online by Zoom. My business is driven by word of mouth – by those who have experienced the method I teach. Once a person has tried The Fascianator Method, using the Fascianator roller, many fall in love with it and will continue to embrace the fascial fitness lifestyle
What has been you biggest accomplishment in your business?
I experience great Joy in teaching & empowering individuals to achieve a greater fitness level to do the things they want to do. When they feel and move better, they enjoy life better. The testimonials and stories I share on my website have given me much joy and affirmation that I am able to inspire and empower a powerful difference in the lives of others.
What’s one thing you’ve learned about yourself as an entrepreneur?
I love what I do and I have the tenacity to move through the challenges, to navigate through the unknowns and to expect the unexpected.

Share one fun fact about yourself?
I met my husband on an airplane during a business trip. It was truly God’s guidance that we were brought together.
What’s your favorite mantra or quote?
I feel strongly that we need to focus on the Joy of the Journey – not just the destination.
Just recently I heard this statement by Dr. Little and it really resonated with me.
Find happiness in the pursuit – Dr. Brain Little
What are your favorite things to do on the weekends?
My husband and I are grounded in our Christian Faith and make attending church a priority on Sundays. Even after 23 years in Colorado, we are still discovering new places to explore. Of course, I love fitness, exercise, and activity every day of the week. On weekends we enjoy walking, hiking, biking and occasionally some golf! We also love to take road trips and explore things we didn’t expect to see or find!

Anything else you want to share with my audience?
Age is just a number and a mindset. If you are open to learn and experience new things, you can become a healthier version of you at any age. At 60 I truly feel – look and act younger than I did 30 years ago.
