Wellness Starts Within

The House of JerMar inspires women to create inner wellness through home and life design.

Welcome to the House of JerMar

You’re standing at a turning point — unsure what’s next but certain you’re meant for more. Maybe your career no longer feels aligned, your relationships are shifting, or something deep within is urging you to make a bold change.  

You’ve achieved success by most standards, yet there’s a quiet voice inside wondering, Is this it? That inner nudge is your intuition — and it’s time to listen. But instead of feeling empowered, you’re stuck in self-doubt, second-guessing your instincts, and unsure how to move forward. 

This uncertainty can feel paralyzing — keeping you stuck in a loop of hesitation and what-ifs. The longer it lasts, the harder it becomes to recognize what you truly want — or how to begin. You may feel overwhelmed by choices, yet unfulfilled by any of them. On the outside, you’re holding it all together — but inside, you’re exhausted, burned out, and quietly wondering how much longer you can keep up this pace before something must give.  In the process of trying to hold it all together, you’ve drifted away from your truest self. 

I know exactly what it feels like to lose yourself in everything but you. 

For decades, I did what so many women do — I poured myself into everyone else. I was a devoted mother, the high performer, the corporate executive who gave her all. I was successful by every external measure… but inside, I was disappearing. 

At 50, my biggest life crossroads hit me. I was fired from the role I had given my heart to. And in one of my first sessions with a career coach, I was asked a simple question: What are your passions? I couldn’t answer. I didn’t even know who I was outside of my role as a single mother and Vice President of Sales. 

That moment changed everything. 

I turned inward. I asked the hard questions. I started listening to the quiet voice inside — the one I had ignored for years. I followed the only interest I could find: a love for interior design. That curiosity led to rebuilding my life on my terms — starting an interior design business, writing a book, sharing my story, and eventually, becoming a coach. 

Coaching changed the path of my life — and now, it’s my mission to help women like you do the same. 

If you’re at a crossroads, unsure of who you are or what comes next… I’ve been there. I see you. And I’m here to guide you back to yourself — because your next chapter deserves to be written by you.

Inspiring Readers

Jeanne's memoir, Two Feet In, shows life design in action.

You didn’t find your way here by accident—something inside you is calling you forward. You know there’s more waiting for you. More clarity. More purpose. More you. 

I created House of JerMar because I know what it feels like to be at a crossroads—successful on the outside but searching for something deeper on the inside. I’ve lived that moment of asking, Is this it? I’ve stood in the space between chapters—uncertain, questioning, and hungry for meaning. 

But I discovered that the answers I was chasing didn’t come from pushing harder—they came from turning inward and learning to trust myself again. That shift changed everything for me. 

Now, I help other women make that same shift. 

I want you to feel clear, grounded, confident—and fully connected to who you are and what you want next. This isn’t just about growth—it’s about coming home to yourself. 

And I’m here to walk that journey with you. 

Let’s draw out the clarity, confidence, and influence that’s been inside you all along. 

I can’t wait to meet you.
