Hi, I’m Jamey

Here's why wellness matters to me (and why it should matter to you too)

Do you ever feel like life could be… more? That stress, anxiety, and routine are holding you back from living fully? You’re not alone—I’ve been there too.

In college, I fell into unhealthy habits—overeating, excessive drinking, lack of exercise, and chronic sleep deprivation. By graduate school, I swung to the opposite extreme—over-exercising and restricting food in an anxious pursuit of success. Then, my father’s Stage IV cancer diagnosis shook me to my core, forcing me to confront the fragility of life and the importance of preventative wellness. Years later, when I was diagnosed with cancer myself, I finally understood: Health and purpose can’t wait. It was time to make a change. 

For years, I struggled to embrace wellness because the “end goal” of losing weight, eating healthy, or cutting back on alcohol wasn’t motivating in and of itself. But after my diagnosis and recovery, I realized what mattered most: being there for my loved ones, living adventurously, and having the freedom to pursue my dreams. Without wellness, none of that was possible. That’s when it clicked. Wellness wasn’t the goal, but the tool that allowed me to create the life I wanted and fully embrace every opportunity.

I’ve learned that true success isn’t just about working harder. It’s about cultivating the clarity, energy, and balance that allow you to thrive. My multifaceted background informs everything I do at Manifest Wellness. With a B.S. in Psychology and Neuroscience, a PhD in Neuroscience, and experience as an Associate Professor at Regis University, I bring a deep understanding of how the brain and body work together to support performance, resilience, and well-being. My time in pharmaceutical consulting adds a real-world, practical lens to my science-based approach. These experiences shape the core of my services, from individual coaching to corporate wellness consulting, offering clients a grounded, integrative path to sustainable success.
