Well-being Boosts Our Pets Can Teach Us

When our dog, Jed Walker, was just a pup I would find him waiting to greet me when I returned from work. Every day he’d be perched on our ottoman looking expectantly toward the entrance.

He decides that he will turn his life into a story worth watching, moving from writing stories to living them.

Health & Wellness Coaching

Well-being is more than your physical health. It is about living a full, vibrant, and happy life. Well-being is fueling your body, engaging your mind, and nurturing your spirit. You can’t get there passively — it requires active awareness, acceptance, and commitment through the choices you make every day. This is where coaching can be helpful.

Health and wellness coaching is a great option for people who are searching for a safe and supportive space to enhance their sense of wellbeing. As a certified Health and Wellness Coach, Seena can help you identify your values and strengths, set meaningful wellness goals, and develop a plan for action. Health and Wellness Coaches are also trained to provide follow-up support and encouragement. Learn more about our Coaching Services >>.

Cheers-

Seena & Stuart
