JL Fields Consulting, LLC

A strategic thinker on a wide variety of topics — philanthropy, education, nonprofit management, and health and wellness — I partner with you and your organization, company or brand to make strategic changes that matter.

​A national board-certified health and wellness coach (NBC-HWC), I hold a Master of Science degree in college student personnel administration. With nearly 30 years of experience in higher education and the nonprofit sector, I have served as executive director for three nonprofit organizations: a rape crisis center in Chicago, a literary arts organization in New York, and an international foundation to end violence against women and girls. I served as adjunct faculty for the not-for-profit management program of the Business Institute at Long Island University-CW Post for five years where I taught the nonprofit board and governance course, introduction to nonprofit management, and the fundraising boot camp.​

In addition to being a national board-certified health and wellness coach, I am a certified master vegan lifestyle coach & educator, a health coach and health coach manager, personal chef, culinary instructor, career coach, and a corporate consultant offering wellness training, brand representation, and strategic planning services. I am the author of Vegan Baking for Beginners, Fast & Easy Vegan, Vegan Meal Prep, The Vegan Air Fryer, and Vegan Pressure Cooking. I am the co-author of The Main Street Vegan Academy Cookbook and  Vegan for Her.  I write the monthly vegan dining column for the Colorado Springs Indy and am a food, health, and wellness freelance writer.
​
A devoted culinary student, I studied at the Natural Gourmet Institute and Organic Avenue and completed the Intensive Study Program at The Christina Pirello School of Natural Cooking and Integrative Health Studies. I am certified by - and on the faculty of - the Main Street Vegan Academy and completed the Food for Life instructor (Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine- PCRM) certification training.

I provide online content strategy consulting, recipe development, freelance writing, cooking demonstrations and classes, menu consulting, and special event planning and implementation for food, health, and wellness brands. I also provide career consulting for health and wellness professionals.
