ABOUT JENNY
Coach. Strategist.
Champion of the Human Spirit.
For nearly two decades, Jenny Yopp has been in the business of transformation — first on the basketball court, now in boardrooms, wellness centers, and communities across Charlotte.
HER STORY
Nearly two decades of transformation
Jenny Yopp isn't your average health and wellness professional. She is a former collegiate basketball coach of 18 years who made a bold pivot — trading the sidelines for a deep dive into integrative health, functional nutrition, and the science of lasting human change.
Armed with a Master's degree in Exercise Science and certifications from Duke Integrative Medicine, she built a practice rooted in one unshakeable belief: the whole person must be seen to truly be helped.
For twelve years she served as Executive Director of a large health, fitness, and community center, learning firsthand what it takes to move not just individuals, but entire organizations toward sustainable wellness.
Game-Changer in Wellness
FxNP · DIMPHC · CPT · NCMP · Integrative Health Coach · Certified Nutrition Coach
Jenny's work has never been about titles or credentials — it's about impact. Today, as Director of Strategic Initiatives at The Ivey, she channels everything she's learned into programs that serve Charlotte's most vulnerable populations.
As a certified Rock Steady Boxing coach and the architect of Parkinson's Power, she is on the front lines of one of the most meaningful wellness movements in the city, proving that movement, community, and belief in the human spirit can change the trajectory of a diagnosis.
Whether she's on a keynote stage, in a one-on-one coaching session, or leading a boxing class for someone with Parkinson's, Jenny shows up the same way every time. Fully. Passionately.
For you.
