I started Fiercely Connecting out of a desire to help people understand their pain and allow it to be what drives them towards connection, both to themselves and to others.

Are You Fiercely Connected?

Connection is at the core of who we are as human beings. Connecting to our partners, our children, our friends.Connecting to our work, our professional goals, and ultimate success.

And finally, most importantly; connecting to ourselves.


It takes profound courage to connect and a fierce commitment to attaining it. Often a lack of connection results in struggles in our relationships and wrestling through depression, anxiety, and anger.

Where you might be…

Weighed Down,
but Unsure Why.

Life looks fine on the outside, yet something feels off inside. You may be restless, tired, or simply longing for a deeper sense of connection with yourself.

Together, we’ll create space to slow down, name what’s happening, and begin to move toward clarity and steadiness.

“Jenny has an amazing ability
to engage in smart, meaningful conversation while drawing
 on the ‘behind the scenes’ emotional foundations of my feelings and perceptions.”

I'm someone who values very deep and connected conversations and relationships. Jenny has an amazing ability to engage in smart, meaningful conversation while drawing on the "behind the scenes" emotional foundations of my feelings and perceptions. 


There is a stigma attached to "getting help" or "seeing someone" but I can only say I wish I had done it earlier. I have learned so much about myself by simply talking to someone who is unbiased and can look at my situation with a press perspective has made a huge difference.

I enjoy coming to see Ms. Pfeiffer weekly because I know I'm going to feel better by the time our session is over. When I start feeling overwhelmed and like I can't get a handle on what's going on in my life she has an amazing way of thinking outside of the box and has the ability to help me see things in a different light. Jenny is very understanding and nonjudgmental and has truly helped me though the most difficult time in my life. 

I have been to many different life coaches over the past ten years or so and I feel by far Ms. Pfeiffer has been the most helpful one yet. Ms. Pfeiffer is very professional and I believe she cares about the people she works with. It's my opinion that she is extremely good at what she does and takes her profession seriously.  I'm willing to bet you'll have many testimonials to back me up.

I'm very happy to have found Jenny Pfeiffer. She is amazing!

Jenny listens and processes not only what I'm saying but also how I'm saying it then helps me understand my perceptions and asks meaningful follow up questions. Her analysis helps me understand the "why" behind my actions and allows me to better apply that understanding to my behavior.

Ms. Pfeiffer has helped me to understand the reasons why I react to situations the way I do and is helping me learn how to respond in a way that is much healthier for me and my family. My sessions with her are teaching me more about who I am, how to be more accepting of myself and how to be a better partner and mother.
