Thrive Wellness Hub

My name is Mysti. Born and raised in the city of Chicago, IL. My love of dance, from an early age, gave me confidence and provided a means of self-expression. After a ACL tear occurred during my freshman year in college, I dropped my minor in dance studies and became a NSCA certified personal trainer after I graduated college.
The study of movement,in a more practical sense,led me to study massage therapy. In 2006, I traveled to Thailand to study Thai massage after I completed massage school in 2004. My love of dance brought me to study pilates in 2008. In 2013, I traveled to Saudia Arabia to teach various fitness classes and one-on-one training. In 2014, I decided to study Occupational Therapy. I got two years into my studies and realized I would not be able to be creative and effective the way pilates provides. Wellness coaching became the next tool in my collection. I became a certified health and life coach in 2021.

Technology has become a part of every area in our lives. This lead me to study and become certified as a Red Hat Certified System Adminstrator and Google IT Support Specialist. This experience allowed me to experience and become more aware of the effects that technology has on our body, mind and spirit.

My desire to connect with myself and others have taken me on a continuous learning path towards professional and personal growth. Helping people to understand the importance of connection with self and others is the foundation of wellness.
