Jennifer Evans is a Brain-Based Coach, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Art Therapist, and Traumatologist with over 17 years of experience in mental health, personal development, and behavior change.

Born and raised in Florida, Jennifer earned her undergraduate degree from Florida State University and her Master of Science in Art Therapy from Eastern Virginia Medical School, where she trained in clinical counseling and neuroscience-informed therapeutic practices.

As a military spouse, she relocated frequently, rebuilding her career at multiple duty stations. This experience gave her extensive exposure to diverse populations — including high-achievers, military families, leaders, and individuals navigating life transitions — as well as firsthand insight into the emotional challenges of starting over, managing uncertainty, and redefining identity.

Today, Jennifer leads Empowering Wellness as a brain-based coaching practice focused on emotional regulation, trauma-informed growth, and sustainable personal transformation.

Her work centers on helping individuals:

• Break reactive patterns
• Rewire negative thought loops
• Strengthen nervous system regulation
• Build resilience and emotional intelligence
• Align daily behavior with long-term purpose

Jennifer developed a neuroscience-backed framework designed to create lasting behavioral change by leveraging neuroplasticity and active response pathways. This structured model is used throughout her coaching programs to move clients from survival-driven reactivity to intentional, purpose-driven performance.

Hi, I’m Emma von Holten, and I hold a Master of Science in Psychology from the University of North Florida. I’m passionate about bridging research and real life, especially when it comes to tools that support mental wellness and lifelong learning.



My background includes in-depth experience in behavioral neuroscience and psychophysiology research labs, where I worked with physiological measures to explore the body’s response to stress and trauma. I’ve also led and trained teams in conducting research, and I’ve spent countless hours reading and applying scientific literature.

Through my work with Empowering Wellness Counseling, I’m focused on making neuroscience-based frameworks accessible. Whether it’s through coaching, presentations, or educational resources, I aim to share practical skills that help you feel more supported on your mental health journey, no matter what state of change you're in.
