Having completed her B.Comm degree it was the Industrial Psychology major that steered her in the direction of Behavioural Studies and Emotional Health & Well-being.

 

Jenni had a successful career in export and finance, when in 2006 she attended a Self Esteem talk. It ignited in her, a desire to guide her two daughters in such a way that they would live a powerful life, with a voice.

 

Jenni went on to achieve a diploma in a 2-year Self Esteem Course, affiliated to the International Council of Self Esteem.  Once the course was completed she was also allowed to attend a 12 Step Program for addicts in order to research the link between low Self-Esteem and its role in addiction.
