About Me

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. If you’re looking for help to get your life, relationship, or health in order, you’ve come to the right place at Stark Wellness.

What does Stark Wellness mean?

Well, it’s my name…AND it’s the choice you make to once and for all take steps towards your healthiest, most joyful and fulfilling life.

Life can be tough and hard on the mind and heart. Trying to be healthy, both physically and mentally, can seem impossible when just getting through the day can be extremely challenging.

But you CAN create a life you love; you CAN be strong in mind, body, heart and spirit.

I’d be happy to help you get there.

Do you want to discover natural strategies to live a healthy life? Do you want to learn sustainable practices for a healthy relationship?

I’m excited to share with you my passion and knowledge about healthy living and healthy relationships.

Implementing a holistic approach helps my clients reach a more optimal level of health—mentally, physically, emotionally and relationally. My clients learn to tie all aspects of their lives together so that they experience more profound shifts and empowerment for lasting success in whichever area their goals lay.

So let me introduce myself and how Stark Wellness came to be:

I’m Jennifer Stark, a certified professional life coach and holistic health coach. My background includes professional one-on-one and couples counseling, personal training and group fitness instruction.

I help individuals and couples take a holistic look at their struggles—the blocks that keep them from experiencing happiness, vibrant health, and fulfilling love—and I empower them to take strong actions to meet their goals.

You can find out more about me personally in this welcome blog post.

I hold a Master of Science degree in Counseling Psychology. My Professional Life Coaching and Holistic Health Coaching Certifications are from the International Association of Wellness Professionals. (Affiliate link: If you decide to join the association and become a certified life coach or health coach, like me, I’ll receive a small commission after your enrollment.) I’m also a certified personal trainer and group fitness instructor. I’ve taught Pilates, yoga, cardio kickboxing, step aerobics, and my favorite interval training. I’ve also led health and nutrition classes on various topics. My background in counseling supplements my coaching and consulting work.

After almost two decades working as a professional counselor in public schools and family counseling centers, and as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor in several gyms, I created Stark Wellness, a private coaching business focusing on holistic health. This is my way of integrating all of my training and helping a whole person.

Note: I let my LPC, Texas professional counselor license, expire since my family moved from there and decided to move aboard a sailboat and live a mobile life, but my knowledge, experience and counseling skills have only expanded since then. There is no expiration date on my own advanced continuing education, certification accumulation, and desire to serve others!

Now that you know all the professional details….here’s a photo of me in another light.

When I’m not coaching, I’m surfing, sailing, swimming, or homeschooling. I like being at the helm, and I love helping my clients stand at the helm in their own lives!

How we can work together:

We can do powerful work, conveniently online via audio or video sessions on WhatsApp, Zoom, Skype, Messenger, Google Meet….whatever platform you feel most comfortable using.

We can work together one-on-one, with your spouse or partner, or with a small group of friends or coworkers if you have similar struggles or health goals. Group coaching sessions can be fun, convenient and affordable for everyone.

I also provide presentations and classes for groups, businesses and organizations on various topics of mental, physical, and emotional health, relationships and exercise.

Live, love and be well!

Jennifer Stark
