Jennifer is the Founder of Downingtown Nutrition, starting the company in 2008, motivated to help improve the health of the community where her and her family lives. Jennifer has always believed health is a right and it should cost you an arm and a leg to seek quality nutrition expertise. 

She has worked in multiple disciplines in nutrition including maternal child health, women's health, weight management, diabetes care, population health and community health. With over 23 years of experience, Jennifer is committed to improving the health of the community using a holistic approach. She specializes in weight management, sports nutrition, health disparities, women’s health and diabetes. Her work in community nutrition and weight management has earned her esteemed honors at the federal and state levels, leading to numerous grants that have allowed her to conduct important work in the public health sector.

While she’s earned federal honors and state grants for her work in public health, she’s just as likely to be found on the sidelines of a local practice. As a busy mom, she knows that "holistic health" has to work in the real world (and between carpools). Whether she’s teaching at West Chester University, cooking with kids at an after school program or helping a client hit a personal best, Jen is on a mission to make Downingtown the healthiest—and happiest—place to live.
