Meet Hope
Hope lives in Waukee, Iowa with her husband and is the mother of three grown children. A lifelong educator at heart, she spent years teaching in West Des Moines and had a gift for reaching students others found challenging. That passion led her to earn a Master’s degree in counseling from Drake University and spent many fulfilling years supporting students in the Des Moines Community schools.
After retiring early to travel with her husband, Hope now works part-time at Mainstream Boutique, where she connects with customers and assists with social media efforts. But she found herself missing the deeper connection of helping others.
When menopause brought sleep issues and inflammation, she began searching for answers. Frustrated by the lack of support, she pushed to find the right doctors and dove into research, where she discovered grounding. Skeptical but curious, she began Earthing in her backyard and was amazed by the improvement in her sleep and well-being. As she shared grounding with family and friends, their stories echoed her own. The impact of Earthing not only improved her physical health but also deepened her spiritual connection and sense of purpose.
“I was feeling deeply called to teach again, I wanted to bring all I had learned, everything that shaped and improved my lifestyle, to all my friends and family. I needed to do it in a meaningful and purposeful way, so seeking my Level 1, 2, and 3 certifications through Earthing.com under Clint Ober, felt like just the way to do that. This is a lived experience for me, so the creation of Sole to Soul, to help others reconnect to the healing power beneath their feet, is a calling not a job!”
Meet Jen
Also living in Waukee, Jen and her husband Adam have spent the past several years on a journey of improving their health and vitality and living more sustainably. From cleaner eating, reducing toxins in their home to planting huge gardens to make their own salsa and canned goods. Adam and Jen enjoy cultivating Earth connective practices together and for their friends and family. They share four wonderful kiddos and spend as much time outdoors as possible.
With over 25 years in corporate training, communications, and learning design, specifically in software and IT implementation, Jen brings a deep understanding of how people learn, connect, and transform. As a seasoned facilitator and communicator, she specializes in creating welcoming, grounded spaces where real learning and personal growth can unfold. Whether guiding a class or holding space one-on-one, her focus is always on clarity, compassion, and connection.
In addition to her corporate background, Jen has spent the last decade as a certified meditation guide, Reiki Master, and practitioner of Andean energy medicine—work that deepened her relationship with Mother Earth and our ONE consciousness connection.
At Sole to Soul, Jen offers an experiential learning style that brings people into direct contact with grounding practices, including the science-backed benefits of Earthing.
“I love that our sessions allow participants to explore these tools hands-on; literally grounded, connected to the Earth and to each other, as they learn how simple shifts can restore balance, calm, and vitality in their lives. We are so excited about the changes in our own lives that we wanted to bring products and practices to our community in a meaningful and fun way, but also with the actual tools to leave class and be able to live out the learning not just talk about it. This is the true embodiment of shifting our lives, one higher vibration activity at a time!”
