Meet Janell
Certified Health & Wellness Coach
Since my early days as an office worker, the quote
​
“What are you going to do with your one wild and precious life?”
stared at me from my desk. For over 20 years, I struggled with this question, exploring self-help books, changing jobs, and even leaving the “rat race” to become a massage therapist and barista… yet I still lacked direction. I envied those who seemed to have it figured out and wondered what was wrong with me for not having a passion? One of my journal entries says it all:
​
“I’ve been feeling this pressure building. Like I need to escape, but from what?! Why can’t I just be satisfied or fulfilled? I feel a looming sense of anxiety about my future, but I’m frozen about doing anything because I don’t know what is missing.”
​
Through coaching and a lot of trial and error, I found a path forward. There wasn’t a “revelation” moment, but I discovered what makes me feel balanced and satisfied with how I’m spending my life. You don’t need a life’s calling to find peace!
Living authentically isn’t as simple as taking a test to discover your passion and upending your life. You still have…
-
bills to pay
-
a career you’ve invested a lot of time into
-
people who depend on you
​
Our work will allow you to finally put your finger on what is missing and then craft a plan to incorporate it into your life based on your unique situation.
I've worked in corporate America for over 20 years, starting as a receptionist and climbing up the ladder to what is traditionally considered success. Despite these achievements, I felt burdened by not having a true calling.
To get to the bottom of it, I pursued an extensive education in behavior change and wellness, becoming a Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach. I am one class away from earning a master's degree from Harvard Extension School in I/O Psychology, a field dedicated to enhancing well-being at work.
With my firsthand experience and top-tier training, I offer a process rooted in empathy, understanding, and evidence-based resources to help you find clarity and fulfillment in your career.
These days I sleep soundly, confident in my plan to share my best talents with the world. I have a strong sense of self, knowing when to say yes and when to say no. I can log off from work and fully enjoy adventures with my loved ones, free from nagging doubts. I wake up excited for what’s next and I want the same thing for you!
