A few years ago, burnout and chronic fatigue led her on a health journey that enabled her to shed 75 pounds and recover her lost energy. With renewed strength, she became inspired to help other educators experience the same level of rejuvenation, so she founded Well Ed and began serving as a wellness coach for educators. www.theWellEd.com.
