New York City

My name is Jennifer Leigh Burnett (Ward). I've been a New Yorker since 1998. For more than a decade I've worked as a senior executive assistant alongside CEOs and Managing Directors for various firms in the Big City.

After my father suffered an unexpected heart attack and I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's autoimmune thyroid disease, I decided to explore my lifelong passion for health & wellness and aggressively expanded my education to encompass over 150 dietary theories, integrative modalities and holistic medicine.

Healing with food became my full time focus and it was through lasting lifestyle changes, that I regained my health and felt better than ever. I took new action in my career path to share this information with the world and today, I am a board certified Health Coach and founder of Medicinal Nutrition: a holistic wellness coaching company focused on using food as medicine and balancing the body from the inside out.

My work and passion as a Health Coach includes private clients, professional writing, public speaking events, nutrition classes, and developing private and group wellness programs. I continue to expand my experience both as a Health Coach and in Corporate America.

I've been told I'm like a multi-vitamin, supporting those around me in a multitude of positive and healthy ways...I like that.

I have a passion for health and well-being and I love making things work efficiently, starting with the body we live in. I suppose I am a "Jane of all Trades", just an ordinary gal extraordinaire.
