ThriveWise Coaching: Story, History, Approach
ThriveWise Coaching began with a simple belief: the most powerful growth comes not from having all the answers, but from helping people see more clearly and take purposeful action toward what matters most. Our clients—professionals, leaders, athletes, homemakers, artists, entrepreneurs, retirees, and change-makers—bring decades of experience and success, but seek a fresh, grounded perspective for their next chapter.
We discovered that while people don’t need another consultant, they do crave a dedicated resource who listens, challenges, and acts as a true thinking partner. Our clients value a trusted ally who tests their ideas, strengthens their plans, and collaborates in real pursuit of meaningful results—not just advice from the sidelines.
Over the years, we’ve enabled hundreds of passionate and capable people from every walk of life to craft their vision, set bold goals, and move forward with confidence. ThriveWise was founded by Johnna Smith, who recognized the need to bring the wisdom teachings and accelerated growth of tantra yoga to a wider audience, breaking down barriers to entry. Not everyone wants a yoga teacher training, but everyone definitely desires more confidence, courage, purpose, happiness, health, and joy in their lives.
We hold unconditional positive regard for every client, maintaining an unwavering belief in their capacity to achieve their goals and the meaningful change required to get there. This foundational attitude shapes our approach: every client is met with respect, encouragement, and true support, reinforcing that their vision and aspirations are indeed possible and within reach. At ThriveWise, our coaching is not just guidance—it’s a dynamic partnership built on trust and the shared conviction that real success happens when people have a clear sense of their goals, know what steps to take, and feel truly supported every step of the way.
