Jennifer Westcott
Jennifer brings a diverse career background and her personal life experiences to Vita Sana. A Northern California resident for most her life, Jen graduated from a Sonoma County high school, completed her Bachelor of Arts from UC Davis and earned two Master of Arts degrees from Sonoma State University. Jen was a school counselor for close to ten years before returning to school to complete her training and licensure as a Marriage and Family Therapist. During her training Jen worked at Chrysalis Community Counseling Services and as a Therapeutic Case Manager in the Eldercare. Throughout her education and life training, Jen has maintained a deep interest in the following issues: disordered eating, women’s health, self-esteem, self-empowerment, and social consciousness. Jen currently resides in Santa Rosa with her husband and two teenage step-children. Her personal passions are healthy living through the enjoyment of blessed family and community as well as an active lifestyle.
Guy Bondi
Guy is a third generation Santa Rosa resident who has spent his lifetime involved in athletics and movement. In his youth, he played soccer, surfed, skied, and even danced with his family’s ballet company. He continues to maintain many of these activities, expanding his expertise to include yoga, Pilates, and acupressure as a way to remain injury free and balanced. Guy finally decided to become a fitness and wellness coach after working in emergency medicine as an EMT for many years. Guy has seen up close the lack of emphasis on preventative care and the connection to how badly individuals suffer in their later years after a lifetime of poor choices and inability to change destructive habits. With his experience, ability to coach, and dynamic energy, Guy brings a passion to helping others find the path to feeling great and enjoying an active lifestyle.
