Today we’re breaking from the standard mold. We’ll be sharing Jennifer Desrosiers resent journey of opening her very first restaurant and she’ll share her biggest challenges, victories and why she believes she has had such great success straight out of the gates.
As a holistic health and wellness coach, yoga instructor, and self-proclaimed real food junkie, Jennifer believes great health is a synergistic balance of a healthy diet, tons of self-love, passionate relationships, and powerful movement. When she’s not inspiring people to live their life to the fullest, you can find her whipping up treats at Laney & Lu Cafe, upside down on her yoga mat or adventuring in the mountains.
