Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Jeanette, and I’m the founder and creator of Thriving(ish) Wellness Collective. I’m a Registered Nurse, NP student, and Certified Health and Wellbeing Coach.

I’ve spent more than the last decade working in healthcare, in pretty much every specialty there is. I’ve worked in the emergency room, labor and delivery, pediatrics, case management, withdrawal management and mental health, and care management and health coaching. Now I’m putting together everything I’ve learned and sharing it here.

Thrivingish is born from my dream of what I always hoped a career in nursing would give me, connection and purpose. My greatest hope is that I can help the people I love, and those around me by using my knowledge, learned experiences, and skills to empower others to take back control in their life.

I had grown up obsessed with my health, but it seemed no matter how hard I tried to dig myself out of the hole of desperation I felt, there was always something pulling me back down. It took more years than I’d like to admit, before I learned how my own belief system, perception and self-defeating behaviors were what was holding me back. I didn’t understand back then how I used food as emotional insulation to protect myself from getting hurt, or how the shame and guilt of failing to adhere perfectly to a diet or exercise regimen made me feel weak, and like a complete failure. That mindset only continues the cycle of negative thoughts, preventing you from being able to grow and change.

It is my greatest desire that if you are here seeking my help, we can work together to achieving that personal goal or dream you’ve been holding onto.
