About me

Picture

Hello! My name is Evan Lawrence and I want to help you reach your health and wellness goals.

I earned my bachelor’s in psychology at UCONN (2010) and my masters at CUNY John Jay (2016). After graduating, I worked in criminal justice mental health for several years before starting my own business to pursue this dream of a one stop shop for mind and body services. ​

I was simultaneously learning about and working in physical health. In 2013, I became certified as a personal trainer, and have been working to help people move better, and move more since then. Along the way, I also picked up some other certifications including becoming a yoga instructor (RYT200) through Breathe for Change, a nutrition coach through Precision Nutrition and more.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, personal trainer, and health coach, I have built a practice focused on the interconnectedness of body and mind.

The jist

​I am a one-stop-shop for all your health and wellness needs! There is nothing I love more than guiding people in reaching their health and fitness goals. I've studied the mind and body to gain the complementary knowledge that allows me to support my clients intelligently and efficiently so they will reach their goals.
"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go."
