About

a Dynamic Transformation Journey

Life is a dynamic adventure

It demands a delicate balance of all its moving parts – work, home, family, spiritual and physical wellbeing. There is power in knowledge. Knowledge coupled with empowered action  and internal and communal accountability is joy. It is okay to reach out for help in maintaining that balance.

I can help with that!

About

Jennifer Hicks, md, CLC, CHC

Have you ever stopped in the middle of an office staff meeting or classroom discussion to think, “Dang, I might be the smartest person here”? I HAVE! In 7 decades, I’ve seen a lot.

Through 45 years as an obstetrician-gynecologist, I have ventured to schools, churches, and social and civic organizations to educate on health and wellness issues, as well as medical and nursing professionals. My desire to continue this calling and to make an impact inspired me to found Smart-A Lady Doc, LLC, which is dedicated to empowering people where they are through health and life coaching and public speaking. Strong spiritual and service values having grown up in the South were nurtured by the “Cha’rman” of the Deacon Board and the Superintendent of the Sunday School.

A Doctorate of Medicine from Meharry Medical College, Residency Training at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, and vast experience form the basis for expanding my vision. My sense of self, resilient spirit, and faith make me uniquely equipped to take on this adventure at this time.

Coaching. Speaking.

I am excited to share my wit and wisdom with you in these 2  projects. I chose coaching because of its one-on-one approach helping people to see the light and the power they have inside is there to propel them to any fulfillment they can dream of: health, weight management, joy. I chose speaking because I love to talk. Just ask my family. Through speaking I can share what I’ve learned professionally and personally. Sometimes I got it right.

Sometimes I got it wrong. When I got knocked down, I got up again. The Smart-A Lady Doc Logo is a throwback to undergraduate school at Jackson State University. The brand was bestowed on me by a sorority sister of Alpha Kappa Alpha Kappa Alpha, Inc.. In our culture a “FOX” is a woman who is both smart and beautiful. No brags. The affirmation works for me. The Dynamic Transformation Journey holds for you the values that I hold for myself.

 I wish for you: health, love, peace and SMARTS.
