Client Testimonials

"Jennifer, I have so much fun with you, brainstorming my future successes and discussing so much that I just hate for our time to end. I am so glad we met and feel so blessed to have your unique gifts working to guide me for what's next." ~ Lacey

"Jennifer, you combined the magic of Merlin with your mastery of fly fishing in co-creating the most unique career counseling session that I have ever had. You helped me to move from stuck to unstuck... Our work together rekindled hope, trust, and confidence in my own unique ability to walk the 'third way,' one step at a time. And it's even clearer now that I don't have to do this alone. I am more relaxed and grounded right where I am and I am also opening to a new space of allowance. I can allow for what ever unfolds as I breathe, take a step, evaluate and choose again as the future pulls me in the direction I want to go. I'd say that is pretty good for 90 minutes! What a refreshing change from the usual career counseling feedback most of us have been subjected to." ~ Kate

"Jennifer is highly responsive, intuitive, and personable. In two 45 minute sessions with Jennifer, I saw substantial results, which continue to increase my effectiveness at work and in my personal life. I feel more grounded, present, and in my reality than I did before meeting with Jennifer. I plan to work with her again in the future. I highly recommend Jennifer for life coaching." ~ Jenilee

"When I started out in school, I thought I might be a welfare-to-work counselor, just like my mom. But then I discovered that under the right conditions, I could be a scholar and educator who helped social workers extend their learning into the world. Now I'm a professor and an author. I couldn't do this without Jennifer's encouragement!" ~ Ganya

"I'm so thrilled to return to my art. You've helped me get it out there and I'm so grateful. You've provided me a way to visualize my life with beauty, purpose and meaning. I really feel like I have a sense of belonging. I feel open and excited to learn what is next and, in the mean time, enjoy what is here." ~ AnnMarie

"Because of your knowledge of world religions, you helped me think through what it means to find the 'middle way' in work and life. We found a better approach for living than the one I was operating from." ~ Troy

"I would describe our work as just what I needed--an intensive brainstorming session with someone who is objective, who can see outside the box we create for ourselves. And I would highly recommend it." ~ Deb

"It is rather like speaking with a life coach. The difference is that Jenn didn't look to assist me with resume writing, skills-assessments, etc. Nor did she directly help me to find the job that would be right for me. Instead she helped me find the life that is right for me and showed me how I can make money doing what I love and living that life." ~ Mark

"I strongly recommend Jennifer's LIFE DESIGN 'homework.' By working with her, I found a way to make sense of 'taking a break from it all'--even though I'm a single mom!--and get focused on creating a portfolio that truly reflects what I'm here to do. As a result, when I was ready to get back out there, I came through as strong and clear." ~ Courtney

"Jennifer you're so inspiring, motivating, and encouraging. I would recommend working with you to anyone who is sick of just accepting the rest of the world's mentality that a job is just a job and you aren't supposed to enjoy yourself or what you do. You gave me resources and ideas on how to start to follow my heart's desires--something I used to consider silly or impractical." ~ Jan

"I was failing the traditional educational system and I thought it was due to the fact that I was dumb or something. After talking with Dr. Manlowe and going through her 'system for change,' I found out that I just have a different style than most kids my age. She helped me see that I am smart." ~ Schnarees, (age 16)

"In the beginning of working with Jennifer, I thought I was really sounding like a dork. I mean, here I was an airline pilot with tons of skills in engineering and the sciences. But, truth be told, I wanted to teach hard working people how to have more fun. I never knew that could be a career. But now I teach adults how to sail, snow board, and windsurf on snow and water in Utah." ~ Ted

"I was running on empty at a dot.com business in Seattle. I was afraid of letting my family down, but I needed time off to 'regroup' and 'rethink' what was next for me. The homework of meditating and writing for just 10" a day, per her instruction, helped me get just what I needed to use my time well. I know the next thing I do will be a better fit (i.e., work-life balance) for me." ~ Sam (Samantha)

"After the kids left, my spouse divorced me. I thought to myself, 'now what?' That's when I heard about Dr. Manlowe's LIFE DESIGN U. workshops. I signed up, got a clue to how powerfully creative I really am, and am now promoting her vocational clarity work wherever I go!" ~ Darce

Praise for Manlowe's Books

"We are especially fortunate to have Dr. Jennifer Manlowe with us on our journey in becoming more whole, compassionate people for both ourselves and others. In candidly sharing her own experiences, such as she expresses in Loving Life As It Is, her words inspire us to create positive changes in our lives and our worlds. Manlowe’s brilliance and sheer breadth of knowledge could easily overwhelm or condescend. Rather, she approaches what may be the unfamiliar concept or theory with great humility. With loving personal warmth and humor and an unusual eye toward living life practically, she leaves the reader feeling as though they have been honored with a personal treasure. And they have. Her literature is on my bookshelf next to those feminist authors I read and re-read for their grounding wisdom. Manlowe’s is a uniquely moving and focused voice that women, and men, critically need, particularly in these uncertain times." ~ Sue Di Paola, M.S.C., J.D., Member of the California State Bar, Retired

"Jennifer, thanks so much for sending me your book, Sound View Daily Journal. lt's now part of my regular daily writing routine. I so appreciate your encouragement -- in so many ways. Thanks, too, for facilitating our monthly Saturday retreat of women in ministry. I'm sure that taking care of ourselves is as important as tending to others. Thanks also for bringing your other books -- I sent them off in the mail today and hope my friends find them as inspiring and helpful as I did. Bless you and your many gifts." ~ Mae
