About

Jennifer Hicks, md, CLC, CHC

As a physician, I have treated some of the most medically and socially underserved women in our society. Though semi-retired as of 2018, I still practice women’s health at a community health center. I believe the smartest investment we can make in our society is to heal the physical and spiritual wounds that prevent many people from rising above their challenges. Given my experience, beliefs and continued desire to nurture I have founded Smart-A Lady Doc, LLC. Through it I hold for you the values that I hold for myself.
I wish for you: health, love, peace and smarts.

Despite her own health challenges Jennifer still showed up for me today. It was encouraging to watch her. Whatever her coaching strategy, people will definitely benefit from it. She was able to illicit experience and help me realize that my priorities had changed . It was a safe space to share and be vulnerable. She is easy to talk to and we have built a great rapport.

Jennifer evolves simple questions into thorough coaching sessions! I liked that a lot. Thank you for being an active listener and sharing a relatable story of how things worked out for you to buy a house! I hope we get to work together again.

This program has helped me on my journey to get where I want to be during this stage of my life. I am amazed at what I learned in just 90 days. I am left with the knowledge, skills and material to get me to a goal I felt was unreachable. I was able to see the holistic approach which actually allowed me to see my desired outcome wild in transition. I'm so glad I did this. I'm left with learned behaviors that I will continue to use in life as well as the ability to see myself in a better light. Thank you, Dr. Hicks, keep up the good work.

I am a proud graduate!! My experience with Dr. Hicks as my health coach has been immensely impactful. Just being able to talk about my goals with a trusted expert helped me surrender to the process. Dr. Hicks listened and even shared bits of her own experiences. Her conversations were always supportive and questions were thought-provoking! At the end of this 14 days my personal goals have been met and I feel like there is a reset button anytime I need one! Thank you, Dr. Hicks! You're the best!
