"I have never felt so empowered as I did when I did a day trip from the army base I am stationed at to visit JMB Transformations. Jennifer transformed me from a butch guy to a beautiful woman- I hated to go back to the base!" July/2014....Jamie, Ft. Braggs, NC
We are going on year 8 of JMB Transformations and I want to thank all of my girls who have come for a day trip, a weekend get-a-way or a week long girl friend retreat. 2014 was amazing and I am happy that so many of you took advantage of the "complete girlfriend's package" [ see service page] which has grown into our number 1 service.
If you have found this page and me then you are searching for a safe space where you can come to explore your truth. Many times we are blocked by the image in the mirror and we need to see our self as "our self" for the first time in order to continue to grow. That is why I am here for you- to assist you. Maybe to hold your hand for that first time going out in public and out to lunch. Or a makeup lesson to bring out the beauty that you do not see. I am here.
Imagine learning the "do's" and "don'ts" about makeup, fashion and hair/wigs? Imagine having your own stylist help you by doing your makeup & hair prior to going out to women's clothing stores to try on outfits. Experience the 2 hour photo shoot with our new photographer Andrew Wayne, that includes 5 outfit changes, professional makeup and wig work by me and 24 images of your choice to cherish for a life-time! Just think of the knowledge you will take home with you after a 4 hour hands on makeup lesson! Just think of the empowerment you will feel as you leave with the tools to recreate the look that was taught to you! Whether it is a simple makeup application, a 4 hour hands on lesson or a 3-7 day “gender retreat” we are here to serve you in a safe and supportive space! I have helped 1,000‘s of CD/TG women obtain their personal goals by offering her personal wealth of experience. Stop dreaming and start living it NOW! Make Summer 2014 the year you finally give yourself the gift that you deserve!
