Jen Schneeman, MBA, ERYT-500, C-IAYT, CDCA, CMHC (she/her)
Jen is a soul-driven scientist, holistic mental health coach and a co-founder of Real Human Performance. With 23 years in health and human performance, Jen thrives as a chronic fatigue and trauma-informed nervous system specialist facilitating stress management, energy optimization, and posttraumatic growth.
First as a science + tech advisor with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Defense Sciences Office and later as a Deputy at the Air Force Research Lab, Human Performance Wing, Jen managed a portfolio of collaborative programs to understand the unique impact of nutrition, disease, brain injury and stressors on humans and how that impacts susceptibility and resistance to other diseases.
Jen knows first-hand how chronic stress, concussion, SUD, chronic pain, and trauma impact the nervous system and how no amount of bootstrapping can sustainably reignite after burnout. After experiencing toxic stress-related burnout in a post-9/11 environment, Jen committed to the applied science of therapeutic mindbody connection programs to sustainably burn bright after burnout.
She authored Self Care and Resilience™ (SCAR), a personalized nervous system-based burnout resilience program to reclaim energy and expand capacity. Jen guides real humans to live life fully without the stress of nonstop thoughts, intense emotional triggers, and exhausting energy leaks.
Jen collaborates for care and brings mindful yoga therapy to three VA Medical Centers, PTSD and TBI residential programs, addiction treatment centers, treatment courts, and support groups. Jen facilitates this mindbody resilience program for medical professionals, caregivers, and survivors of sexual assault, addiction, PTSD, and TBI.
She launched therapeutic mindbody connection programs within two NFL teams, three military branches, dozens of organizations, and hundreds of medical, mental health, and caregiving professionals. After COVID, she expanded the program to real humans just like us.
Jen believes in the power of peer support and coaches Ohio’s youth in Hey I’m Here Ohio, a diverse youth-led movement on a mission to grow resilience in Ohio’s young people.
Jen uses humor, lived experience, and proven methods to deliver stress management, burnout resilience, and post-traumatic growth solutions that enable people to live with more awareness, control, self-trust, and peace. Jen guides people to understand their unique nervous system in order to boost distress tolerance, manage chronic pain, and thrive amidst the inevitable daily stressors. Jen helps people remember their spirit, live a soul-driven life, and burn bright after burnout.
