Our Team
Founder & Naturopath
Abundant Life Wellness Center was founded by Jennifer Trejo. Jennifer became interested in natural health and a more holistic way of life after her father died unexpectedly from a heart attack at the age of 59. Out of a determination to learn how to improve her own health and finding a passion to help others do the same, Jennifer left her career in international human resources and completed her Doctorate in Naturopathy.
Jennifer was trained by Dr. Kharrazian in Blood Chemistry Analysis from a functional/preventative perspective as well as in complex autoimmune conditions. Jennifer also continues her training through the Institute of Functional Medicine which was founded in 1991 by Dr. Jeffrey Bland, the founder of the functional medicine discipline. In response to a need she has seen rising over the last few years, she is additionally training under Dr. Ben Lynch on MTHFR and other genetic mutations that impact mythelation and detoxification function in the body. Dr. Lynch founded www.mthfr.net and is the leading researcher in this area that impacts over 45% of the U.S. population (many of whom are unaware).
Jennifer has also earned her Bachelors degree in Business from Dallas Baptist University and her Master in Business Administration from the University of Dallas. In addition, Jennifer has trained under Dr. Datis Kharrazian who is considered one of the leading experts in non-pharmaceutical applications to chronic illnesses, autoimmune disorders, and complex neurological disorders.
Jennifer’s education and training as well as the use of the most advanced technologies and professional-grade supplements, allow her clients to receive natural, quality health services. Knowing that there is often better and safer alternatives to pharmaceutical or over-the-counter drugs and surgery, Jennifer is excited to help educate her clients how to live healthier and more holistic lifestyles. She knows this allows bodies to do what God created them to do best, heal naturally in a healthy environment.
Jennifer lives in Fort Worth with her husband Thomas, daughter Lauren and son Matthew. She enjoys her family’s active schedule, spending time with friends, reading, and being involved with her church.
Rachelle Wilson
Naturopath
Rachelle has had a passion for health and wellness and a desire to serve others as for as long as she can remember. Through her own personal health journey, she discovered the calling that God had placed on her life to help bring healing to others. Rachelle attended Tarrant County College as a registered nursing student and soon after decided to choose a more holistic route in her education. She transferred her studies to Trinity School of Natural Health and then a few years later to New Eden School of Natural Health and Herbal Studies where she obtained her Doctorate Degree in Traditional Naturopathy.
Rachelle has over 20 years of experience in serving others in a ministry capacity. While pursuing her studies and education, she was employed by various ministries, sharing the love of Jesus and serving those that were in need. She believes that we are all made in the image of God who is a holy trinity. As such, each of us are made up of a spirit, a soul and a body and for true healing to take place, all three parts must be supported for optimal health. Her love for people, her passion for holistic health and wellness combined with her extensive ministry experience makes her a great addition to the ALWC family.
Rachelle enjoys the blessings of being a wife and mother of 4 children. When she has time outside of raising her identical twins, she loves to travel, hike, read, work out and meet new people.

She is thankful for the opportunity to help ALWC clients achieve optimal health and wellness so they can go out and fulfill the calling that God has placed on their lives!

Tricia Mendoza
Holistic Nutritionist & Lifestyle Coach
Tricia is a native of Fort Worth. Her journey to ALWC began with a love of science. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from the University of North Texas. She began working for a large pharmaceutical company and was there for 13 years. However, Tricia had an awakening about her career choice after her son developed eczema, food sensitivities, severe nut allergy and an inability to detox from various chemicals coming from food, vaccines and other environmental sources. This ignited a fire in her to find ways to help her son heal. That is when she was introduced to functional medicine and alternative therapies. Her son is now free from the nut allergy, has beautiful skin and was able to find relief from the toxic chemicals that were so difficult for his little body to remove on it’s own. They give all glory to God for his healing and continued health because they know we can not do any of this alone!
After this experience with her son and finding balance in her own life with nutrition and lifestyle choices, her desire to help others with similar issues grew stronger. Tricia decided to learn various body work modalities and became a bodywork therapist while also attending and graduating from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. She began helping her clients in her private practice learn more about how to heal from the inside out. She continues to study functional medicine modalities and detoxification methods. She is excited to join ALWC as the Holistic Nutritionist & Lifestyle Coach! Tricia is here to help those who are ready to work on healing and balancing their bodies with the help of diet, nutrition, lifestyle and living a Christ-centered life. She is passionate about building relationships and providing continuous support to those on their wellness journey.

Rachel Young
Office Manager
Rachel was born in Fort Worth, Texas and is Proud and Honored to be apart of the ALWC Team! She has a versatile back ground that has provided her with a plethora of skill sets and Rachel feels God has shown her a divine direction to be in the Holistic Health and Wellness field.
She started her Holistic journey back in 2014 when she realized that she was always getting sick on a monthly basis and didn’t understand why. Using Essentials oils first opened up her world into understanding a different direction into healthcare. In 2019 She came to ALWC for the first time and began learning more about her own specific body’s needs and what to do for herself. Ever since she has only had the flu twice and knows how to deal with seasonal allergies at home without having to see a doctor all the time.
She enjoys spending time with her husband Chris and her Sister Katy (who is also apart of the ALWC Team). As a hobby, Rachel enjoys going on nature walks and and taking bubble baths while reading a good book. Going to fun new foodie spots and watching movies while spending quality family time is the biggest fulfillment in Rachel’s life. She loves spending time with animals and would someday love to be a foster home for old dogs who would otherwise be looked over.
Kristi May
Office Assistant
Kristi is a compassionate individual that has always loved to help others. Her boy’s are the light of her life! So as she began her journey through motherhood, only the best would suffice. Holistic health became a big part of her life. Having studied esthetics before starting a family, she already had a passion for product/ingredient knowledge. While being a stay at home mom and helping her family start a business, she wanted to continue utilizing the skills she attained. Making her own products for herself and her family using essential oils and other natural ingredients became a hobby.
When her health began to struggle and Medical Dr.s failed to help, she began to broaden her knowledge and gain awareness on what was going into her body. Learning more about quality food/supplements, holistic healing and how to implement those things into her life, as well as her loved ones, became a rewarding pursuit.
When she’s not doing crafts or playing outside with her boy’s, she continues to explore the many platforms of natural healing/living. Getting to be apart of such a strong team that changes so many lives is beautiful blessing she is extremely grateful for.
