Jayne Lessard Stays Physically Active



There are many components to living a healthy lifestyle. She is an accomplished outdoors woman, a strong tennis player, a runner, cyclist and enjoys water sports.  Repeatedly, we hear about the importance of staying physically active for bodily health, but as a counselor, Jayne Lessard does not undervalue the importance of mental health too. Jayne Lessard has spent over thirty years providing professional counseling services. The majority of Jayne Lessard’s career has been devoted to marriage and family counseling.

As important as her counseling work is, Jayne Lessard is an active individual and has been for the majority of her life. Sports were a large part of Jayne Lessard’s life when she was a college student. When Jayne Lessard was a college student at Wheaton College, she played both college basketball and tennis. She moved from being a player to a coach in the late 1970s when Jayne Lessard became the women’s basketball coach at the Christ-centered Montreat Anderson College.

In addition to coaching, Jayne Lessard also spent years in outdoor leadership and ministry. As an important component of her personal life, Jayne Lessard was proud to support religious outings and loved leading outdoor adventure trips into Canada, British Columbia, and throughout North Carolina. The outdoor adventure trips were a great way to experience fellowship with others who shared her ideology and beliefs. 

Between outdoor leadership, ministry, and coaching, Jayne Lessard has remained a very active individual. She is not shy about going out and sharing her beliefs with others and enjoys the fellowship associated with group environments. Jayne Lessard encourages people to find ways to be active in their lives. Even if you do not play a sport, there are many ways to be active and social. Jayne Lessard supports community projects and community works and hopes more people will learn to enjoy the benefits that helping others brings. Jayne Lessard shows continued support by executive coaching and speaking to teens and college students about their educational futures.
