TESTIMONIALS
"I was recently blessed to attend a women’s retreat led by Jennifer Gentile. I cannot fully put into words how much I was affected and changed by that experience. She has such a deep faith that is palpable and contagious. Her willingness to so honestly share her own journey to rediscover, build, and nurture her relationship with God was so inspiring and appreciated. She fostered an environment of trust with one another so that we too felt safe to share. I left that day feeling a special bond with my fellow sisters in Christ and so full of God’s love. "

“Before reaching out to Jen, I was in a spiritually dry state and I wanted to grow deeper in my faith but I didn’t know where to start. I needed a little support on how to foster a deeper prayer life and encounter God in my life. I’m a cradle Catholic and was going through the motions and although I was regularly going to mass on Sundays and participating in different Catholic devotions, I didn’t quite grasp the many doctrines of the Catholic Church and I was yearning for more. I needed assistance in understanding some of the underpinnings of the Catholic faith and felt called to dive more into adult Catechesis. Although I was firmly rooted in the Church, I wanted to move forward in my spiritual life, get more graces, be fed more and cultivate a rich interior life. As a certified Catholic life coach with a masters in Theology, Jen was very equipped to help me with my many questions surrounding prayer life and hearing the voice of God. I left each coaching session feeling encouraged and had a renewed sense of direction on ways to encounter God in my everyday life.
I have some emotional wounds from my childhood that needed healing and through specific work in the area of inner healing prayers, Jen prayed with me and helped me start to hear the voice of God and feel His presence in my life. She gently brought to my attention where I was lacking God and my difficulties seeing God as Father because of my ill experience with my own father. Through praying the inner healing prayers and doing some inner healing work with me, Jen helped me break through some very difficult emotions and start to see myself as how God sees me and accept myself as the daughter of the Father.”

“Jennifer was able to quickly peer into my heart and soul to extract what needed to be talked about and discovered. Jennifer invites the Holy Spirit in and the two work together in a beautiful and quite amazing way. The time I spent in spiritual direction with Jennifer helped me to truly receive the healing love of God and helped me to begin to live as his Beloved Daughter; a Daughter of the King. She opened up avenues of spiritual thoughts I had never known existed.”

"I had the pleasure of being coached by Jennifer and my experience was nothing less than amazing! She is so easy to talk to and her words are so uplifting. I looked forward to each session and didn't want them to end! Jen's warmth and kindness, coupled with her knowledge and deep faith, come through in every session. Thank you, Jen, for your calming and hope-filled direction. You are the best! God Bless You." - Judy G., Long Island, NY
I am grateful for the time and effort Jennifer has spent mentoring me as part of the requirement in the Tepeyac Leadership Initiative program I participated in 2023. Her professional, spiritual and personal guidance has been invaluable. It has provided me with additional insights and support I need to further pursue the project I plan to undertake after the leadership course.
Thank you, Jennifer again for your guidance and friendship.

“I had the opportunity and privilege to be coached by Jennifer for six months in 2016 to address challenges that I was facing as a working mother of a son with low-functioning autism, along with other everyday issues where guidance was needed. Our sessions were uplifting, supportive, filled with kindness and sincere care and consideration. Each week I looked forward to our chats which left me feeling confident and ready for my world! Thank you Jen, you are an amazing and inspiring woman and I’ll always be grateful.” - Samantha S., NYC
"During a recent Caoching session I shared with Jennifer that I was having trouble sleeping and didn't understand why. Jennifer shared several somatic exercises and we spoke through a new night routinne and I was able to get back to sleeping well again in no time. Jennifer was so caring and made me feel very comfortable. I would not hesitate consulting with her in the future." ~Allison C., Westchester, NY
“I am a spiritual director and also lead both silent and preached retreats. I have
worked with Jennifer Gentile for the past three years. Together we prepared and
delivered reflections on various parts of Scripture in both Advent and Lent for the
parishioners of Sacred Heart-Our Lady of Pompeii Parish in Dobbs Ferry, NY.
WhenJennifer and I began praying and working together, I noticed that her own
relationship with God greatly influenced what she shared in her talks and activities
with the parishioners. Jennifer is gifted with skills that empower the people she
guides. I am grateful for the experience of working in partnership with Jennifer.”
