Jenn has created an amazing space for me to be able to reflect on my own thoughts and have growth in not only my personal life, but in my business as well. She has provided me with guidance on the big and small choices, daily and in the long term. She helped me do so by listening and unwinding my thoughts to discover my real ambitions and path to happiness, through balance and discovery. I recommend Jen to literally anyone and everyone as I think she has the ability to help many different kinds of people regardless of the field they may be working in or their personal struggles in life. She has been a huge asset. I can’t recommend her enough!!
Working with you for the past 7 years has truly been transformative. You came along at exactly the right time to jump-start my growth toward being who I am. I thank you so very much for your support and kicks in the ass over the years. I do foresee a return to coaching and hope there will be a spot open for me at the right time.
I look forward to our Dawn group meetings as a time to be supported and to support. Dawn is more than a group that meets every two weeks. It’s a community with diverse experiences and perspectives who support each other in our journeys. I get so much from the group coaching experience, both from my coaching and through others. Dawn is now a vital part of my self-care.
5 years ago, I began working with Jenn during a difficult life change. I knew negative thought patterns and self-defeating behaviors got me into that situation, and I was determined to make different choices moving forward.
With Jenn’s coaching, I was able to move beyond those circumstances and since then, I have been continually creating a life that is in alignment with who I am.
What I have learned is that your mindset determines where you go in life. Having someone to help you help yourself is key.
Having a Dawn group along side my 1:1 coaching with Jenn is the perfect cocktail! Not only having the regular deeper work with Jenn, getting a close knit group of supporters and cheerleaders brings a whole other layer of progress for me and relational understanding as well! Not only that its an extra check in with Jenn that is priceless!
It is hard to believe that I have been working with Jenn as part of her original Dawn, Gather, and Grow group coaching experiences for over a year and a half now. Through this work with her I have been better able to navigate the challenges associated with starting a new business and all the other life challenges that come along with that. Jenn brings a wonderful combination of coaching skill, intuition, passion, and compassion into her coaching practice that really energizes the group dynamic!! love working with her and my fellow Dawn group members!
I recently spent over 6 months in Dawn group. It was the trifecta of coaching experiences for me: I had much personal growth, including 1 breakthrough, through supporting others, being supported, and observing others being supported by Jenn. I got just what I needed to move on to the next phase of my life.
I joined one of Jenn’s coaching groups in May 2022, and it has been SUCH an important space to support big life changes (job transitions, relationships, grief, health challenges… you name it). I highly recommend it!
Heather Willams
Member of a Dawn Group
What one of the current participants had to say recently… “I was thinking about this group & realized how GRATEFUL I am for this safe little community. This space where we can be vulnerable & authentic. Be heard & seen. Share our goals, dreams & fears. We recognize each other’s powers & speak it back to each other. Empower each other to grow. I am so happy I have you guys, especially today. Thank you for helping me & supporting me!!
I joined a Dawn group after a year of intense 1-on-1 coaching with Jenn. I was happily riding the waves of being in a blissful state of flow. But still, new challenges would arise and I missed having the space to unpack them. The Dawn group experience not only gave me space to explore myself, but to also learn from my fellow group members. Anything they were working through, I got to work through as well. Dawn is a loving, nurturing, and empowering space where you can laugh, cry, and most of all, grow together with others. The group setting and bi-monthly meetings gives you such a sense of community and above all, the very important reminder that you are never alone on your journey!
Last year I had an amazing series of life coach sessions with Jenn. She has expansive knowledge in her field and a lot of tools in her toolbelt for any situation or occasion. Due to health challenges, our sessions often had to shift gears and she was always able to read me and offer options that provided space for what I needed in the moment. This was crucial so that progress happened, even though it often looked like something different than we had planned. She has an amazing energy about her – super inspiring and energetic but also soft and supportive. She sees all potential and provides encouragement in so many forms. During the time of my sessions I experienced habits that helped me tap into non-explored realms. These areas gave me strength and connection and a new sense of knowing in Self. Even after my sessions concluded Jenn continues to offer space with her many activities and never gives up on me. She has an amazing way about her to only encourage and support and understand. I am thankful to consider her friend and have her presence as a guide and strength in my journey. I encourage everyone to engage Jen as a coach and not delay getting support to live life to your fullest potential!
I met Jenn through a friend in Charlotte who had taken her yoga classes and recommended that I should not only get to know her as a teacher, but as a friend and mentor as well.
I started working with Jenn in September of 2021 and she was the perfect coach to help mentor me through some of the most transformative times when I moved to chicago and started up leveling my career. She has guided and coached me over the past two years and was not only a person to give great advice, but a mentor to help keep myself accountable and give the extra push, drive and though of how what what I wanted to create in my own life.
Thoughtful, educated, empathetic and never judge mental, she has given me strength and courage to go after my dreams and the tools in how to achieve them. It is because of this and her caring nature that I continue to choose to keep working with her time and time again.
If you are looking for someone to help you get to the next step and chapter of life where you want to be, then she’s the one for you!
Kate Andacht, Chicago IL
I had the opportunity to get to know Jenn and watch her develop as a coach when we went through our coach training program. She has this amazing ability to listen beyond words and ask powerful questions to help her clients see things that they are not able to see in their own lives. I’m thankful to have the opportunity continue to partner with Jenn to support me on my journey and help me take my personal and professional life to the next level.
Working with Jenn as a coach has been a transformational experience. She has the ability to ask the right question at the right time that helps me see things in a whole new light. Through her coaching, I have a new perspective on myself as a leader and team member and feel a renewed sense of purpose and energy in my work. It has truly been a pleasure to work with her.
I will keep this short, because I could rave about Jenn Shull for days if allowed to!
When I started working with Jenn in the fall of 2017, I was suicidal. I weighed 315 pounds. I had crippling performance anxiety at work that was torpedoing my career. My marriage was on the brink. I was in constant pain. I had sleep apnea and high blood pressure. I took dozens of daily medications. I didn’t know who I was, what I wanted, or what my worth was. I was a hot mess. Only not hot. Really, just a mess. In the (just barely) two years of working with Jenn: I have lost 135 pounds. I have finished my Bachelor’s degree (25 credit hours in less than 10 months!). I have gotten off the medication which was causing the suicidal thoughts, as well as almost all of the others, and am now on just ONE daily medication (for ADHD). I rescued my career, left a toxic work environment, increased my salary by 15%, and stepped into a huge new opportunity that scares the crap out of me (in a good way, and I love that). I’ve passed 4 certifications for my career. I’ve read over 100 books. I’ve meditated over 10,000 minutes. There’s way more…way too much to describe fully. I know more about myself and my value, and dare I say it, even am learning to love and accept me the way I am WHILE improving. Now, I know Jenn will say “This was all you,” only better with more love.
However, prior to Jenn: Not-Hot Mess. After Jenn: Just Freaking Hot.
You be the judge.
I met Jenn in one of her yoga workshops in 2019 and was absolutely amazed by her ability to get into the minds of her students and create a safe place for sharing in less than 2 hours! Jenn and I worked together for 6 months, in which time she helped me to see and overcome many challenges of my own beliefs and mindset. Her work is authentic and her energy is contagious! I highly recommend Jenn, for both yoga and coaching services, and I can promise you that, with an open mind, you WILL transform and view your life’s choices from a more powerful position! Thank you, Jenn!
Jenn helped me through some of the most transformative months of my life. She helped me navigate the lows and appreciate the highs. Her unique skills in coaching and mind-body wellness were exactly the combination I needed to figure out how to stay grounded and grow professionally. Our weekly chats were time to focus on me; my stressors, my victories, my challenges, and my dreams. Carving that time out for yourself is important, but it’s even better to do it with a coach like Jenn guiding you through. I’ll be forever grateful to Jenn for our work together!
Maureen Devine-Ahl
I worked with Jenn for the past year in a 1:1 coaching setting. It was one of the most impactful decisions of my professional career and the work I did with Jenn also helped me in my personal life. Jenn is amazing at helping people understand where there are weaknesses and how to build the muscles to get stronger in those areas. I looked forward to my call/in-person meeting with Jenn for each coaching season because I knew I was going to walk away feeling refreshed and more confident. As an entrepreneur without much experience, it was Jenn that helped me get to the point where I was truly confident in myself and my business. She is constantly working on her own skills to make us all better and that is my favorite thing about her; she walks the walk AND talks the talk. I highly recommend Jenn for anyone that is stuck or looking to take that next step in their journey and beyond!
Colin Cerniglia
Jenn was recommended to me by a fellow coach. Our first coaching consult call was pure magic. She understood what I was seeking and where I was getting stuck. She says the thing you need to hear and she guides our call when I’m at a loss. Her integrity is amazing. I can trust that she is doing the work herself, seeking the support she needs, to be the best coach for her clients. She is a magical unicorn 🦄
Trisha Blohm
Jenn made a big impact on me. Even from the initial consultation, I knew she was special, and my experience working with her was entirely positive. I came to her looking to take my “good” path to a “Great” level and I walked away with many skills and approaches to make that happen, as well as a better understanding of myself to identify my own personal blocks. I would love to have a mini-version of her in my pocket all day to be my coach – her energy is delightful and her perspective is insightful (didn’t mean to make it rhyme but that sounds damn good). Anyway, if you want to take your life-game up a notch, buckle up and let the beautiful heart of Jenn Shull into your schedule. Highly recommend!
Gianni Masciopinto
I have had the pleasure of working with Jenn not only as my coach for a year, but also as a collaborator and co-facilitator for both an international retreat (Costa Rica 2017) and a domestic retreat (Blue Ridge Mountains 2018). She is an absolute gem to work with. Throughout the intensive retreat planning process, Jenn is diligent, reliable, and straightforward. If there is a hint of fear involved, Jenn will point right to it, honor it, but never cater to it. That does not make her a bulldozer, however, the uniqueness she brings is gentle “stand” and always erring on the side of possibility. Whether doing the work alongside you or coaching you to create it, if you can dream it, Jenn can support you to create it.
Sarah Crawford
I have been working with Jenn for a couple of months now and what I love most is the opportunity of sharing and the coaching as to how to take the action steps necessary for my own changes. I am so appreciative of her gentle coaching ways that have aspired me to move forward and take the action steps in a graceful way.
Cathy Lucchesi-Gedda
It’s been amazing working with Jenn! During the two months we’ve worked together, we’ve shifted gears and dug into some of the trickiest challenges I face. Jenn is always enthusiastic and guides me to really enjoy the process we are facing together. I know I’ll never be able to repay Jenn for the changes she’s helping me create within myself, but I hope she knows how much she means to me! You will NOT regret going with Jenn for coaching, whether it’s for something large or something seemingly small. She’s amazing!
Donna Ellis Wilson
I began working with Jenn in April, and I can’t believe how quickly I realized results! Previously I had tried a number of different tactics – with no sucess. The decision to try coaching is one of the best I’ve made for myself, and there is no other person I would have chosen! My only regret is not doing it sooner. Nothing is more painful than being “stuck” – I’m thankful for moving forward and all I am learning!
Emily Olson
Working with Jenn has shown me what having an insightful and empathetic but objective sounding board and guide can do: it has given me more compassion for myself and others, a clearer understanding of who I am and what I’m doing, and the tools to make my life a better place to be. Her guidance is smart, practical, and actionable. And I’m so glad I found her 🙂
Marisa Petty Hager
I decided to begin working with Jenn because I had not made much progress with some life changing goals I had set for myself over the past year. I found myself going in circles and coming up with excuses and I knew I needed someone get me on the right track and to hold me accountable . During our sessions Jenn has helped me design project plans with a clear focus and objective, and create milestones and action steps to help me stay on track. But most importantly, the true value that she provided in our sessions was so much more than that. She has given me a new perspective of myself, giving me the information and tools to look more deeply and understand why I hit roadblocks, what keeps me from moving forward and where these obstacles and challenges stem from. While these new insights have helped me approach things differently and make many breakthroughs over the past few months, I’m most grateful for the impact this will have in all aspects of my life for many years to come. Jenn is an amazing listener, she’s enthusiastic, understanding and realistic. She has such a positive energy that comes through in her coaching and at the end of each session I leave feeling motivated, excited, renewed and with a clear sense of actionable and practical steps that take me closer to reaching my goals. I can’t thank Jenn enough for her guidance, believing in me and for giving me a new found confidence that has already made a huge difference in my life.
Jennifer Hoben
I participated in one of Jenn’s retreats and it was truly amazing! She is very intuitive which allows her to individualize the experience for each member of the group. Using both group discussions and 1:1 time was very impactful. There was also an effective balance with enough time factored in for some “me” time. Thank you Jenn for genuinely caring and for the wonderful work you do!
Sana Younis Rockwell
It is evident that Jenn has devoted her personal and professional life to heartfelt coaching for those who seek true guidance and transformation! I found her when seeking a retreat in search of inner peace, enlightenment and guidance on improved self care. I had very high expectations for what I needed to get out of the time for myself yet no clue as to what I was really signing up for. The retreat far exceeded my hopes. Not only did I depart the retreat with a renewed energy but also the peace I sought after, a new support system and resources of modalities that will prove to be beneficial for a lifetime! There is no stone left unturned in the space Jenn creates!
Ashley King Leone
I enjoyed a powerful retreat with Jenn in the mountains of North Carolina. She pulls together science and intuition in a way that creates space for so much transformation. My favorite part was how the group coaching fostered community and such a close bond among the women who attended! What a fabulous experience!
Anna McLaughlin
Jenn really knows her stuff and I had an amazing transformational retreat with her. If you are looking to get unstuck and have a change in mindset, as a leader or entrepreneur she is who you want to go to!
Nesha Pai
I have taken yoga from Jenn and a few months ago participated in one of her workshops where coaching and support was offered in addition to her delicious, yummy, feel-good, smell-good deep stretch practice and I felt very rejuvenated by both and ready to return to my business that day with creative inspiration! I was in the process of taking a risk at the time that I wasn’t sure I was ready for financially- Jenn reminded me that when you take a step, the earth rises to meet you! Sure enough, I was way more ready than I thought i was! I’ll definitely be pursuing further coaching with Jenn in the future because she is worth it! She holds space in a nonjudgmental way but is also unafraid to rest in her own power and call you out on your sh*t when it needs to be done! I highly recommend Jenn whether you’re an entrepreneur or not.
Meredith Swaim
When I said my word for 2019 was “Deeper”, The universe responded with Jen and her “Deep Dive” session. I love her unique ability to speak over a circumstance or self-defeating voculabulary with love and intention. I came into our session, prepared for the work, as I’ve been here before and quite frankly didn’t know how much more deeper I could go. I am still walking through all the doors that we unlocked that day.
Kimmy Harris
I had the wonderful opportunity to do a 75 minute private yoga session with Jenn, and it was so beneficial! She is quite amazing at what she does! I walked in feel anxious, tense, and stressed from life; I walked out feeling uber relaxed, totally aligned, and at peace. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend doing a one on one yoga session!
Charlsey Childers
True success includes balance and sustainable life and business practices. Jenn’s got this wired!
Hans Phillips
I did the 90-minute deep dive with Jenn and found it very enlightening, encouraging and all around invaluable. Jenn has a way of really listening to you and getting to the root of the issue and offering ideas and suggestions to try and help you get back on track. She helped me realize things I already knew but had lost my way and forgotten about in the ever craziness of everyday life. I now have a new clarity and interpretation of what I need to do to get myself back on track with my life.
Thank you, Jenn…I am most grateful!
Valerie Layne Looney
Working with Jen was just the experience I needed. Because I’m a busy mom with two small children I unfortunately don’t have the ability to get out for regular yoga classes, which is ironic because I’ve never needed yoga more than at this point in my life! Jen came to my house and did a private session for me and a friend after I put my kids to bed. It was right at sunset and the perfect way to unwind before bedtime. It was relaxing and she involved lots of stretching and breathing, and because it was private it was customized. I highly recommend and I’m looking forward to working with her again soon.
Alessandra Macaluso
I have been working for the past 2 years. She has guided me through several jobs along with a 150-mile relocation back to the Triangle. Dealing with change can be difficult (especially for a Type A like me) – Jenn consistently shows me how to see what is possible and has helped me gain much needed clarity. I can’t recommend working with her enough.
Cindy Akus
What a delight working with Jen…..
I immediately felt at ease with her on the first day of coaching.
Felt good to open up to someone who you could trust and actually hear what was being said….
I felt more grounded after the 1st session and luckily worked thru my issue quickly.
I would not hesitate to recommend her or would I hesitate to call on her again.
What a Gem she is….
Tracey Fullner
After quitting my corporate job and pondering over “what’s next?” I realized I needed assistance. Jenn was a perfect partner to assist me in modifying some sub-optimal behaviors I was noticing. She also helped me push past my limiting beliefs to realize I have the ability to live a bigger life and to take the leap of faith to establish my own business. Jenn is a great partner on this road of life with all its ups and downs and twists in the road.
Sandra Buttermore
I just wanted to say thank you again for this past weekend. I gained a lot more clarity as I drove away from the retreat center. You both are beautiful souls and goddesses in my eyes. You created such a powerful space in our meeting room. I needed to also share that as much as I hated it, thank you for pushing me to my edge on Saturday. You cracked a wall that I worked fucking hard to build and my heart was sore for hours after that. I really really needed that so, thank you, my soul thanks you.
Jenn, I look forward to attending one of your yoga classes and hooking up for a yoga/coaching session in the near future!
Jill Heineman
This retreat came to me in the perfect dose at the perfect time. It is true that I had to be willing to give myself the gift of the retreat, but Jenn and Sarah took over from there. They chose a wonderful venue with beautiful views, quiet paths, the nicest staff you’ll meet anywhere, and a kitchen that created deeelishous vegan/vegetarian meals. Even though I’ve done a fair amount of self-work, it was clear that there was plenty of room for more. I gained new tools and skills to take with me out into the world. It was great to bond with the others at the retreat, and hardly anything beats being in a room filled with people who really want to be their best selves in the world. For me, I think, my best take-away was the heightened ability to slow down and come from my heart center…more often and for longer periods of time.
Donna Robey
I would highly recommend to everyone a retreat with Sarah and Jenn. The group work shops where extremely enlightening and helpful. Both women are very knowledgeable in their field! I will be attending as many as possible!
Angela Duval
I was fortunate to have attended Jenn and Sarah’s Release, Relax, Restore retreat at the Art of Living Retreat Center, nestled in the breathtaking mountains of Boone, NC. I needed a break and a reset from my day-to-day life. However, committing to this experience was somewhat out of character for me. The idea of traveling to a place I had never been and being vulnerable with a group of strangers was at first uncomfortable. However, the drive up the mountain, the serene atmosphere of the campus, the body-nourishing meals and the peace and trust that I felt with Jenn, Sarah and the rest of our group quickly settled me right in to a place of comfort and ease. I participated in group and individual life coaching sessions, both benefiting from sharing my own story as well as hearing the story of others. The group coaching sessions were powerful and reminded me of how much we as humans are so much the same and so interconnected. Sarah really made an impression on me about the importance of self-care not being selfish but being necessary, and this continues to be something that I try to practice every day. I learned about the science of Ayurveda and the importance of keeping our mind, body and soul in balance. I also attended a variety of yoga sessions led by Jenn where I was able to dive deeper and deeper into a place of relaxation. After the retreat was over I was able to get back to my family and my real life with a newfound sense of gratitude, love and appreciation for the things that I often take for granted. I look forward to attending another retreat led by Jenn and Sarah in the future when life calls for another reset!
Carrie G.
Jenn’s Fall retreat at Art of Living was soul nourishing, healing and energizing. Jenn struck the perfect balance of introspection and rejuvenation. The coaching exercises we did helped open my heart and connect me to my values and goals. This was especially powerful as we were heading into the holiday season and the end of the year. Because of the work Jenn had us do, I was able to stay grounded through the chaos of the Holiday Season – allowing me to stay focused on self-care and my goals. Jenn also incorporated the physical body with gentle yoga and essential oils which created space to reflect on the coaching work we did. And she topped it all off with built in free time to explore the beauty of the mountain, socialize, or just take in the work as deeply as possible. I cannot tell you enough how much my soul needed this retreat and I didn’t even know it. If you are craving peace, power, and clarity – this is the retreat for you!
Edyta
I attended Jen’s retreat in Boone in the Fall of 2019. It was exactly what I needed to relax and focus on myself. It allowed me to do a lot of introspection while making some amazing connections with other women were also interested in growing and learning about themselves. A memory I will cherish forever.
Kim Hoggan
The retreat was magical, cosmic, enlightening! My first experience of this kind. After finding ‘my power’ and returning home, I was able to ‘open my heart’ and share my long suppressed feelings/thoughts with my husband whose mouth hung open while listening to me… My marriage/communication has been so enriched from Jenn’s guidance and time spent in the beautiful heavenly mountains! Forever grateful but sure could have used it 20 years sooner… However, I believe the universe delivers when the time is right… which was in November 2019. I know I will return to that beautiful place and hopefully connecting with our beautiful sisterhood.
