WELLNESS COACHING

Hey there! My name's Ashlynn Thomas, and I'm a senior studying Exercise and Wellness.

And the best part? It didn’t require doing anything extreme! It was all about creating sustainable habits that fit into my everyday life.
Now, I’m here to help you do the same in any area of wellness. My goal is to help you truly LOVE the life you live. I firmly believe that wellness starts wherever you are, so whenever you’re ready to take that leap, know that I’ll be in your corner!

I'm Lauren Tolley and I'm a senior studying Exercise and Wellness. I love mowing lawns, I think peach pie is the best dessert on the planet, I love sleeping with a million blankets in a chilly room, and enjoy playing spike ball, skiing, reading and cooking. I have a wealth of knowledge specifically on intuitive eating, meal planning, and how to make exercise work for you! I have had times at BYU where I have been very well, and others where I have not, and I know the difference that it makes in your studies, social life, spirituality and emotional state. I want to help you find the time and the way that works specifically for you to be well. That doesn’t necessarily suggest complete freedom from illness, injury or other obstacles, but I hope to help you learn, gain a desire to act and move forward to create positive habits no matter your schedule or circumstances!

Hey! I’m Olivia Barker! I’m a Sophomore studying Public Health Promotion. A little about me: I am a high fit teacher here at BYU, I love any type of sport (especially pickleball), I LOVE to dance, I love spending time with my friends and family, and I LOVE connecting with people.

I have a passion for health and wellness and viewing it through a gospel lens. I went through a crazy journey on my mission with an eating disorder/body image issue and want to help others to view food and bodies the way God does. I would love to help you in any area of wellness and help you achieve your goals through making daily healthy habits and involving God through it all!
