Hi there! 👋

I'm passionate about health and wellness – a journey that started early in life for me, managing type 1 diabetes and navigating other health challenges along the way.

Discovering the incredible impact that health coaches can have on bridging the gap between patients and providers, I was inspired to make a positive change in my own life and pay it forward.

I hold a BA in Health and Wellness from UAGC, where I dove deep into the fascinating world of how the body works, explored the true meaning of wellness, and gained valuable skills in stress management, research evaluation, health psychology, counseling, and nutrition. My training continued at IIN, where I completed their Integrative Nutrition Health Coaching program and am pursuing my NBHWC board certification. My diverse background includes experience in real estate, legal services, and customer service. When I'm not working, you'll find me enjoying quality time with my furry companion Riley, hiking, practicing Pilates, or whipping up something delicious in the kitchen.

Hello! My name is Jinjoo

The Meaning

The idea “String of Pearls” represents two things:

  • Psychotherapist Phil Stutz’ philosophical framework of growth, and progress.

  • the plant, senecio rowleyanus, representing good luck, prosperity, and abundance.

  • Another reason the name has meaning to me is that my name, Jinjoo (진주), which means pearl in Korean.

My Approach

It all begins with a desire to change something important to you:

  • your relationship with food,

  • wanting to get back to the gym,

  • dealing with stress at home and work, or relationships

  • just wanting to feel better physically because of your physical health.

Client-driven change:

  • decide your priorities, values, and wellness vision

  • discover barriers to change

  • create your action plan

  • accomplish your goals and feel empowered

Philosophy - Every action matters to progress forward

Phil Stutz (featured on the Netflix movie Stutz), created a tool called the “String of Pearls.” Each pearl on a string represents one action. Every action small or big, contributes equally. Every action is not about perfection but progress. Continuing to progress and adding a pearl to your string to move forward regardless of the failures or outcomes.

What is Integrative Nutrition?

Integrative nutrition is about the whole individual,
meaning all aspects of their life.
Your bio-individuality makes your challenges uniquely you.

Primary nutrition is about how we nourish ourselves from all the areas of health:

  • Social
    We are social beings and relationships or community can have profound effects on our health.

  • Intellectual
    This includes creativity, knowledge/skills, or learning.

  • Occupational
    Professional or educational purposes and satisfaction affect our health, as well as stress or burnout.

  • Physical
    Chronic illness, disease, age, diet, and physical activity are all physical or physiological things that may affect how much we can or can’t control.

  • Spiritual
    Connecting to something that gives you a sense of purpose in life.

  • Environmental
    Our demographics, location, or home environment can impact our well-being.

  • Financial
    We all live in the real world and money mindsets or financial struggles can hinder our ability to feel confident and empowered.

  • Emotional
    As social beings, we also deal with a lot every day. Are you checking in with yourself emotionally?

  • Psychological
    Our individual experiences shape how we think of the world and ourselves.
