Meet the Thrivewell Coach

A Thrivewell Coach utilizes specialized and innovative approaches to support, encourage, educate, and empower you to live your best life.
Makenna, our Thrivewell Coach, works to build a trusting relationship with each of her clients and this is the foundation of the work they do together. She wants each of her clients to feel supported, respected, and that she is genuinely concerned about their well-being. She is skilled at helping each client identify their personal goals and begin to encourage a positive, growth mindset. She desires to help others in building resiliency, identification of obstacles to change and developing strategies to overcome those obstacles as well as improving motivation. Makenna does this whether in an individual coaching session or in a group workshop.
