Founder & Well-being Specialist

Hi! My name is Jennifer Hess, owner of DayLite Empowerment Solutions, LLC, well-being strategist and movement specialist, founder and creator of the “Wellness Initiative Workshops” ™ and “Building Better Balance Bootcamp Series.” ™

I am a nationally certified and award winning fitness and movement specialist, with more than 25 years of experience in health, wellness and fitness. It has been my calling to work with older adults, which I have done most of my adult life. I currently focus on senior health and wellness, encompassing physical, emotional and brain health as well as dementia mitigation and fall prevention through mindful movement. I teach many uniquely designed classes for aging populations, including strength and endurance, water fitness, functional fitness, core strength and flexibility, yoga, Pilates™, meditation and tai-chi and qigong-type classes in addition to individual health, wellness and fitness coaching. I also develop wellness, nutrition and/or fitness programs using an integrative approach, in addition to many other related services.

In addition to teaching and training I am an Educator and Speaker, conducting seminars and workshops on a variety of topics from nutrition, dementia and diabetes prevention, neuropathy exercises, to balance and stability and fall prevention, breath work, exercise for special populations, you name it! I have conducted classes, seminars and workshops for large corporations, schools, nonprofit centers, medical centers, family health centers, national fitness chains, Senior Living communities and private clients as well.

“I have improved stamina, overall muscle strength improvement, getting up and down from sitting is easier, and I have improved posture as well as confidence in walking!”

“In spite of having peripheral neuropathy in my lower legs and feet, I have gotten stronger and more confident.”

“I am convinced that the fall I had recently would have been horrible if not for your exercises. I escaped without injury, thanks to you.”
