About Healthy Discoveries

Healthy Discoveries is a health education consulting firm specializing in wellness workshops for organizations, groups and businesses. One-on-one coaching sessions are available to individuals.

We spend the majority of our time at our job. It makes sense to bring healthy resources directly to a company’s most valuable asset—the employee. A healthy employee is more productive, has more energy and tends to be more positive and upbeat.

The increased costs of insurance premiums, sick leave and workman’s compensation have put a squeeze on the company’s bottom line. Corporate wellness is more than cholesterol numbers and biometrics. By integrating on-site wellness workshops, events and motivating keynotes employee absenteeism declines, health-benefit costs are lowered and job satisfaction and retention rates increase.

Jolene inspires employees to take practical, consistent steps to create sustainable health at work and home.

She grew up on her family’s centennial farm (which means it’s been in her family for more than 100 years) in northeastern Colorado. She grew up around 1,000-plus cattle, lots of open space and whole, fresh food. In a way, she was born into the original “green organic living” before it was trendy.

Jolene founded Healthy Discoveries in 2001. She received her certification in nutrition from the American Academy of Nutrition. She has a degree in Speech Communication, emphasizing corporate training from Colorado State University, and was certified in drug, alcohol and eating disorders while attending CSU.

With a passion for health, Jolene inspires her audiences to create balance and add nourishment to all areas of their lives. She promotes individual responsibility and believes in the power of information to provide options for choosing healthy lifestyles. She offers a holistic body/mind/spirit approach to weight loss, compulsive overeating, food, dieting issues, preventative healthcare, and individuals seeking more balance and energy.

She has helped companies and employees make Healthy Discoveries through teaching more than 250 corporate workshops over the past seven years. Healthy Discoveries is strictly education based, it does not sell supplements or products, nor does it receive financial kick-backs for any type of health related sales or promotion.

In 2004 she began a long-term contract with Owens & Minor, a Fortune 500 company specializing in medical supplies. Her on-site workshops have been a hit with employees who are pleased with the health benefits, and management, who see a positive difference in productivity and health care costs.

Jolene is a Colorado native and resides in Denver. She is currently writing her first book.
