Woe, blown away and freaked out by how Jennifer has herself listed here on Yelp as a holisitic coach. I was looking for her on Yelp's site to review as a writing coach. I see now she has attempted to sell herself as a "coach" in other industries as well. Please be aware, this girl is bad news no matter what hat she's thrown on. I first came across Jennifer's site on Google while looking for said writing coach. We had a discussion about my needs and her skills. She seemed to fit the bill to a tee. In hind site I now know she had listened to what I needed then told me exactly that about herself. She is not talented as a coach, writer, nor is she all that she claims to be. I should have checked "valid" references. I'm writing a time travel/historical/fantasy fiction series. Seven years of time, research, and travel expenses,etc. have gone into this. During our initial phone interview she said she was indeed well experienced in these genres. I should have grilled her harder during that conversation but I was naive, and I admit, desperate to find a coach to get me to the finish line. I brought her on board. After our first hour session, it was clear to me she was unfit to be coaching. She confessed she hadn't even read the biggest seller of all time in this genre, which is Diana Gabaldon's, Outlander. Now that's just pathetic. And when it came down to giving me direction she was clueless! I politely let her know that it wasn't going to work out and I would like to be refunded. She refused. She said I had signed a contract with her so too bad, she wasn't going to give me a penny of my money back. That this would force me into commitment. Wow, thank you for looking out for my best interest but when you're keeping money that doesn't belong to you I find that somehow disingenuous. What's more, I don't have a problem with commitments or to my work/book. However, I do have an enormous problem with cons! FYI, people, the number here is $1,500.00! I attempted to reason with her sense of fairness, that she should be paid for only so much time as she was not able to be helpful after all. I offered to break the 1,500.00 down into a prorated payment for those two hours, plus a bonus three hours of time just because I wanted to end things on an amicable note...She refused this generous offer, greedily demanding she keep all my money. What a joke. This was money that had accidentally been overpaid to her by an oversight on my part due to her - most likely calculated- billing strategies where she had double billed me my first payment thereby obtaining 1,500.00 bucks before services were rendered. In the end, after my promising her I would see her in small claims court ( and many bizarre emails with her longwinded childish tirades) I was able to recoup $750.00 back, only half. People, don't be a sucker like I have been. Fortunately, and most happily, by the lack of reviews, it seems no one has been as dumb as I was to give this person money. Jennifer, if you are reading this, money won't buy you a conscience. I suppose that's unimportant to people who operate like you do but Karma will get you in the end. Luckily, thanks to sites like this, people like yourself are less able to take advantage of others these days. I do hope I am the only one who ever has the need to review you. Although I'm sure you'll find a "friend" to write up something positive though it will be surely be a fake review. read more
