Jenny Devine is a Certified Integrative Coach trained by Debbie Ford at the Ford Institute for Integrative Coaching at JFK University, California. Jenny has a Masters Degree in Consciousness Studies from the University of Philosophical Research in Los Angeles and is also a certified Yoga teacher from Kripalu in Massachusetts. She is credentialed by the International Coach Federation as an Associate Certified Coach (ACC). Jenny has been married for twenty two years and has two sons.

Jenny has recently returned to New Zealand to establish her own coaching and training business after living in New York for over five years. She has a background in the New Zealand health system where she worked as a charge nurse, had various management roles and was co-founder and co-director of Harper Devine Ltd., a health consultancy and leadership training business.

A leader of nurses and allied staff from the age of 27, Jenny knew that her passion in life was to develop human potential. A fourteen year career in health management and consultancy gave her opportunities to fulfil this passion to varying degrees, but it wasn’t until 2004, when she began to study as a coach with Debbie Ford, that she realized she had happened upon a science and an art that, as the London School of Business describes, is the single most powerful process ever devised for releasing individual human potential.

As she embarked on years of intensive study while living in New York, Jenny knew if she was to be consistently successful at guiding others to release their capability, she must do as the great wisdom masters have guided for thousands of years and take her own inward journey. Jenny was able to see how a lack of attention to her own emotional and spiritual growth in her years in health management had taken its toll on her health and well-being. “At last I was able to see the shadow beliefs and old, tired ways of thinking, feeling and acting that had led me away from my highest vision for my life.”

Now back in New Zealand Jenny is living her vision, coaching clients to regain their spark, joie de vivre and leadership potential through actively choosing a more conscious existence. Typically Jenny’s clients are unclear on exactly “why” they enter the coaching programmes; they are simply aware that there is something within them that urges them to awaken - to live a life with greater meaning and purpose; to be leaders of their own lives and destiny as the first step in leading others...and awaken they do, with all the possibility for humankind that may ensue from their onward journey.

In 2008 PricewaterhouseCoopers conducted a survey for the International Coach Federation of over 2000 clients in 64 countries who had experienced coaching? 96% of these clients declared they would repeat
their coaching experience, given the same circumstances that led them there in the first place and the vast majority were VERY satisfied with their coaching experience.
