About Jeni’s Why

At The Standing Mountain™, we’re all about supporting and uplifting our members by helping them build lasting well-being routines and develop strong leadership and personal growth skills.

Our mission is to empower you to make a positive impact on your family, team, business, and community. We provide a space where you can discover your strengths and values, so you can become your best self in every area of life.

The Standing Mountain™ was born from a major life shift I faced. Determined to succeed, I combined my background in health science, coaching, and leadership to create a coaching system tailored for entrepreneurs and emerging leaders. This system helps your stay sustainable, avoid burnout, and thrive while staying true to your personal vision—your North Star.

My own journey as a new business owner wasn’t easy. Balancing life as a single parent of three, caring for my 92-year-old grandmother, and returning to corporate life brought challenges that taught me resilience and focus. I understand firsthand how tough it is to pursue financial independence while being fully present for your loved ones.

Through this experience, I realized that positive self-talk and inner work aren’t enough on their own. Surrounding myself with a supportive community and skilled coaches made all the difference. That’s why I’m passionate about paying it forward—building a business and nonprofit that helps others navigate their journeys successfully.

With over 25 years of experience in health education, leadership development, and wellness coaching, I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse groups—from military members and medical professionals to academics and entrepreneurial leaders worldwide.

I hold a Professional Coach Certification from the International Coaching Federation and am a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach with a Master’s Degree in Health Science. I also teach and mentor students at San Diego Mesa College through their Health and Wellness Coaching Certification Program, helping them connect with their first coaching clients.

Most importantly, I am the founder of The Standing Mountain —a coaching company created with you in mind.

Wishing you a wonderful day!
