MEET JEFF ORTIZ
M.A. MFT
B.S. Human Development

Motivator, Encourager, Leader of The Love Big Love Wide Movement

Jeff is a man of deep and authentic love, infectious energy and a compassionate heart. Jeff has overcome low self-esteem, guilt, shame, hurt and pain which resulted in negative emotional reactions throughout his childhood and early adulthood. Experiencing life from these various spectrums allows Jeff to connect with those he speaks to. He shares his life from a place of vulnerability and acceptance to encourage those he encounters on a daily basis. With love being the greatest motivator, he looks forward to living each day encouraging those he knows personally as well as those he meets for the very first time. He also uses his experience as a Marriage and Family Therapist to provide practical application.

Testimonials

Relationship / Life Coaching
With Jeff

As a recovering people-pleaser, I enjoy working with those who have difficulty saying "no" and are dependent on others to make them "happy". I will help to empower you to set healthy boundaries, while establishing healthy relationships.

I believe you may live under a "Narrative" that connects strongly with guilt and shame. I want to help you change your "Narrative" and focus on Grace and Compassion as the driving force. You were created to LOVE and leave an impact on those around you!

Keynote Speaking

Engagements

I am currently available to speak at your Church, School, Business or Community Event. I use my ability to engage with the audience through authenticity, humor and challenging questions. I encourage the audience to take an in depth look at what they have experienced in life. Through this, they are encouraged to focus on "why they do the things they do." The speeches are powerful and thought provoking, leaving the audience challenged to ask practical questions to shift their perspectives.

"Jeff has been a guest speaker for my AP/IB Psychology students many times. Every year he inspires them with his zealous and compassionate nature. He continually reminds us that love can create change. In the midst of brokenness, love is the ultimate healer."

"Jeffrey is an entertaining and engaging speaker who has a know for understanding young people as he carries a passion for helping others discover their true potential. His ability to connect with middle school students is incredible, and his personal account of overcoming adversity as a young adult demonstrates the importance of self-belief and a positive attitude. Jeffrey is genuine and his inspiring message leaves everyone in the room feeling worthy and ready to take on any challenge."

"I have had the sincere pleasure of having Jeff Ortiz guest speak in all my classes at both Concordia and Vanguard Universities. He is passionate, lively and person-centered based. My previous and current students love him and often ask when he is speaking again to continue the relationship they have made with him. I have known Jeff for several years now, both personally and professionally and he is the real deal! I highly recommend him to not only hear his story, but to learn how to Love Big, Love Wide!"

Love Big Love Wide is a movement encouraging people to live out their gifting and strengths. Love Big- For your God given Purpose, Love Wide-To Accept and Connect in Love. This movement focuses on bringing about change in individuals who are stuck, unhappy and discontent with "who" they are and the negative impact it is having on their lives.

The goal of LBLW is to REFRAME how a person sees their life, REPROCESS how they think and REPURPOSE how they live. In doing this, people will live authentically in freedom to be who God created them to be.
