Jennifer Louden is a pioneer in the personal growth field, the first to write about the importance and practice of self-nurturing in her classic, The Woman’s Comfort Book. She’s gone on to pen The Couple’s Comfort Book, The Pregnant Woman’s Comfort Book, The Woman’s Retreat Book, Comfort Secrets for Busy Women, and The Life Organizer: A Women’s Guide to a Mindful Year with over 800,000 copies in print.

As women’s roles and voices have evolved, so has Jennifer’s mission, transforming from a best-selling self-help author to a cultural leader and life guide, drawing on her own creative and spiritual experiences to inspire women and men to develop their own life recipes for aliveness, healing and work-life flow. With Jennifer’s prompting, people are encouraged to find their personal truths, the unfolding path of their lives, paths that resonate most authentically with their innate wisdom, creating the truest comfort of all.

Jennifer’s books have been translated into nine languages and have been bestsellers in both Germany and the U.S. Jennifer has taught her lively workshops and delivered her humorous and motivational keynotes across the U.S., Canada, and Europe at hospitals, women’s health centers, corporations, and universities. She has created and led innovative women’s retreats since 1992, from the Omega and Kripalu retreat centers to the wilds of Canada to spas around the country. She is also a personal coach, graduating from Newfield Network’s program.

Jennifer has been featured in major publications and regularly shares her voice with an enthusiastic national audience. Her media appearances have included the Oprah Show, Later Today, as well as MS-NBC, CNN, and Fit TV. She’s been interviewed for most major magazines including Self, More, Glamour, Shape, Redbook, Good Housekeeping, New Woman, Ladies Home Journal, Yoga Journal, Health, InStyle, and Parents. She was a columnist for Martha Stewart’s Body+Soul magazine and hosted a radio show on Sirius satellite network.

Jennifer’s name has become synonymous with comfort. Recognizing the genuineness of Jennifer’s vision and the depth at which people have bonded with her message, major forward-thinking companies - from Spring Air to Procter & Gamble to Real Media- have seen the value of utilizing Jennifer as spokesperson, editor, or purveyor of truth, and always as an embodiment of authenticity.

Jennifer lives on an island in Puget Sound, Washington with her amazing teenage daughter, Lillian, and her two doodle dogs, Luna and Stuart.
