Hi!
My name is Carrie Jennings and I currently reside in Bettendorf, Iowa. I decided to become a Mama Coach to support women (like me!) entering perimenopause. After I completed my Functional Health and Wellness Coaching program in 2022, I found myself trying to find resources to support me through my journey as I entered perimenopause. There is a huge gap in health care education around women’s care entering this stage of life, and the more I learned, the more I wanted to help others like me. Enter The Mama Coach!
My professional experience spans almost two decades. I began my career at the University of Iowa Hospital & Clinics within the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Additionally, I’ve worked within a pediatric clinic setting, and as a school nurse. Most recently, I’ve become a Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach. I am currently preparing for the North American Menopause Society (NAMS) Practitioner Exam.
Each stage in life brings unique challenges, and we all deserve the support needed to face these challenges. I am looking forward to being your resource and walking alongside you in your journey.
To guide women through every stage of their journey by providing evidence-informed education infused with non-judgmental support, compassion, and empathy.
TO BECOME A RECOGNIZED GLOBAL TEAM OF HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS UTILIZING INNOVATIVE PRACTICES, AND COMMITTED TO IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR WOMEN AND FAMILIES AS THEY GROW AND EVOLVE OVER TIME.
Our job as healthcare professionals is to listen to your priorities and goals as our client. We will walk beside you and share in your challenges and your triumphs, and we promise to support you with empathy, compassion, and respect.
As you move through your journey, certain stages can feel overwhelming at times. We value creating a shared community, online and in our cities, where you are always welcome.
We support all families — as we believe every family is completely unique and deserves access to quality support. We support all women. We will continue to learn and listen, ensuring our brand is thoughtful as well as inclusive.
You can expect us to provide you with evidence-informed information in a professional manner. As healthcare professionals, we will treat you as unique, provide individual assessments, and determine the best plan of care to meet your educational needs.
Good question! We are called The Mama Coach because years ago, when Carrie’s first boy was very small, she often wondered out loud to herself, “Where is my Mama Coach?” and “I need a Mama Coach!”. Carrie searched and searched for the kind of support she was looking for, and realized there was a need for qualified support for new families. Now that Carrie is going through her own journey into perimenopause, she has realized yet again the lack of qualified support for women and has set out to change that by launching a Women’s Health division within The Mama Coach brand.
We recognize our name may give the impression we only serve moms; however, we will continue to work and learn to ensure our messaging is clear – all people are welcome here. Women carry a heavy load and they do it with grace. All people deserve support, and The Mama Coach is the answer you’ve been searching for.
Yes. As Registered Nurses, we have years of training on where to access credible guidelines and information. All of our programming is based on extensive research from credible sources.
As Registered Nurses, it is our professional obligation to manage client records and confidential information properly. We use an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) that is compliant throughout North America. Even though we share the same brand, we are all independent Registered Nurses with our own private practices. As such, we each have our own EMR that is private and secure. We do not share EMR or client information between one another without consent.
Often they are — the answer largely depends on where you live and what your private insurance covers. For example, in Canada, our services are covered under ‘Registered Nurse Services’ or ‘Health Spending Accounts’. In the United States our services can be covered as well, through HSA or FSAs.
