Meet Jen

Registered Nurse. Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach. GLP-1 Guide 

I’m Jennifer Velonis, RN, BSN, NBC-HWC.

With over three decades of nursing experience and a Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach credential, I support clients through one of the most meaningful health journeys of their lives.

I understand firsthand the challenges of struggling with weight, changing long-standing habits, managing side effects, and adjusting to life in a changing body. After spending most of my adult life gaining and losing the same 50 pounds, I began my own GLP-1 journey. I finally lost the weight and have kept it off for years.

That personal experience, combined with my nursing background and coaching training, shapes the way I support clients today — with compassion, education, realistic strategies, and practical guidance.

I offer private health and wellness coaching with a special focus on GLP-1 support, helping clients feel more informed, confident, and prepared as they work toward better metabolic health, weight management, and long-term wellness.

I’m also the author of Lose Weight for the Last Time, a practical guide to navigating GLP-1 treatment, side effects, plateaus, maintenance, and life during and after medication.

I’m based in Charleston, South Carolina, where I enjoy time at the beach and soaking up life’s beautiful moments with family and friends.
