Jennifer Laurent wears many hats as a single mother, life coach, author, and yoga instructor. Everyday, she looks to live her life in a conscientious way, and she strives to help others live a conscious life too. In her first book, Excerpts from the Heart of a Mom, Jennifer presents her readers with fundamental insights on her approach to “conscious parenting.” In it, she identifies concepts that can be applied to a broad range of parenting styles that help children stay positively connected to their core.

“LiveThroughTheHeart.com” is Jennifer’s companion website where she blogs about her personal life experiences and provides inspirational messages of conscious living. Through her writings and poignant photography, she shares her life coaching skills with her readers as she encourages them to embrace their own life’s journey.
