Why I Do This Work

A Bit About Me ...

Hi, I’m Jennifer Kottke — mom of three and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner based in Bergen County, NJ.

My work is rooted in understanding the connection between the brain, body, and nervous system — and how underlying physiological stress can shape the way children feel, behave, sleep, focus, and function.

I became deeply passionate about this work through my own children’s health journeys and years of trying to understand why so many kids struggle in ways that don’t fully make sense through a traditional lens alone.

Some children become anxious, overwhelmed, reactive, or perfectionistic.

Others shut down, struggle with motivation, focus, energy, or simply don’t seem like themselves anymore.

Different behaviors. Different energy. Same underlying story — a system that needs support.

Today, I help families move beyond symptom management by looking at the full picture: the nervous system, gut, immune system, environment, and developmental patterns that all work together to shape a child’s health and regulation.

My goal is simple: to help parents finally understand what’s happening underneath the surface — so their child can begin to feel, function, and thrive again.

Question 1 Rabbit Hole
Sick of heading down those rabbit holes and coming up short?

At Beckon Prosperity, that is where we thrive.  We have been down them all and can lead you out with answers and a plan.

Question 2 0 to 100
Is your child’s behavior best described as going 1 to 100?

We’ve LIVED this ourselves and work with our clients to get to the root cause of that dysregulated rollercoaster you are on.

Question 3 Flipped the Switch
Has your child flipped the switch over to OCD and anxiety, seemingly out of nowhere?

There is a reason for everything, and we will guide you towards explanations and treatment.

Question 4 Trust Your Gut as a Parent
Do strange illnesses have you stumped?

Autoimmunity, tick-borne diseases, skin flares, gut inflammation. What’s REALLY going on? Trust your gut as a parent that it is NOT normal or fine, and finally uncover what is triggering these outbreaks and reoccurring reactions.
