“We’ve learned that it’s often the hardest moments that shape us the most.”
Our Story
We met in our early years working in emergency services. Jim was a dispatcher on his way to becoming a firefighter, and we were both EMTs. At the time, I was already a young mom. Our lives were busy and demanding, but we both shared the same drive: to help others, to make a difference, and to build something meaningful.
Somewhere between long shifts, late-night calls, and shared conversations about the future, we found each other. What started as a friendship turned into something deeper, and here we are, 24 years later, partners in life, family, and now, in this work.
Life has thrown us plenty of curve balls along the way. We’ve experienced joy, challenges, loss, and growth, sometimes all at once. But we’ve learned that it’s often the hardest moments that shape us the most. They teach us resilience, compassion, and strength.
Those lessons became the foundation of JNS Consults. The work we do now is born out of lived experience, of showing up for people in their hardest moments, of navigating grief and change, and of learning that healing is possible.
Together, we bring our backgrounds in first response, leadership, and trauma-informed practices into this space. But more than that, we bring our hearts, our lived journey, and our belief that growth and healing are always within reach.
