Richard Earney

Hey there, Richard here…..

I’m a Kiwi (New Zealander) thriving in the USA; Chicago is my home base. I'm a coach at heart; with a passion for helping those who are feeling stuck and searching for a path to personal growth and well-being.

With over three decades of experience in the fitness, wellness, and personal development industry, I've traversed many areas of this field. From my early days in coaching and education to consultancy to being a trusted presenter for renowned global fitness brands, I've also been a fitness business owner and held director and executive roles with award-winning premium club companies across Australasia, Europe, and North America.

A movement coach, life coach, NLP practitioner, nutrition & wellness coach, mindfulness & meditation guide, somatic breathwork practitioner, and reiki master. The diversity of these roles and experiences, across various countries and cultures have allowed me to develop a comprehensive understanding of holistic wellness and how it applies to the modern day world we live in.

All of this has led me to founding MindstrongWellbeing, a coaching company that embodies a holistic perspective on well-being. I believe in the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, and my approach centers on enhancing your energy and overall well-being. My ultimate purpose is to empower you to become the best version of yourself.

My Journey

As a teenager, I became acutely aware that how we moved, what we ate, our sleep, our thoughts and habits affected how we felt, our state of ‘wellbeing’ (which wasn’t a familiar concept at the time growing up in New Zealand).

This opened up doorways that have led to decades of exploration. I'm extremely grateful to have been able to work with some of the best minds and mentors (friendtors) from all round the world in the fields of body, mind and spirit.

I knew then, as I know now, my purpose is to inspire & empower others to be better versions of themselves.

Meet the Team!

Katy Hanlon

If we had just a few minutes to exchange in conversation, here is what I would likely share:

I am a spiritual life coach, a breathwork facilitator, a mindset mentor, yoga teacher, a forever yoga student, a life lover, an avid writer and an overall, super curious human - valuing community, curiosity, creativity and connection.

I wholeheartedly believe every voice, every heart, every story, every mess matters. We belong.

I love guiding, I love creating, I love connecting.

I also love oracle cards, crystals + woo woo things, every dog in the whole wide world, paperback books, highlighters, hand-written cards, vanilla ice cream, and all sorts of other things.

That is what I would say if we just had a few minutes - or something to that extent.

Then I would say , enough about me…tell me about YOU.

Travis Standiford

Hey there! My name's Travis. I've been working actively in the fitness industry since 2010. But, have loved sports and movement for as long as I can remember. I started as a Personal Trainer and worked up to becoming a National Trainer & Presenter with Les Mills International, teaching many of their group fitness programs (Bodyattack, Bodypump, etc)

As an avid gamer and nerd, My hope is to lead with my passion and authenticity in such a way that others are allowed to do the same, while also finding what "wellbeing" means to them. This may come in the form of movement, nutrition, and mental health or even through fun, play, and the unconventional. My belief is that the journey through wellbeing should be enjoyable, engaging, and sustainable.

I look forward to working with you and seeing how you grow here with us. :)

Amy Chasse

Amy dialing in - happy to be here! I live in Chicago with my two sons and my cat Yoko and love movement and the outdoors - all year round. I also love cookie dough!

For years, music + movement + meditation = magic has been my mantra, particularly in my work as a fitness and yoga instructor, which i have been immersed in for the past 15 years. I’m excited to share this powerful combination with the MindstrongWellbeing community, as well as a variety of powerful healing modalities that have truly helped me, from reiki to inner child and past life regression work and more. Can’t wait to connect!

Alex Lawwill

Howdy, Alex here! I’m from a small country town outside of Portland Oregon and I’ve lived in 7 different states since I graduated high school. I started riding horses before I could walk and carried that fearlessness with me ever since. My healing journey started in Chicago about 6 years ago where I entered a rabbit hole of curiosity and self discovery.

Since then, I have created multiple businesses that offer a holistic wellness experience. Something for all the senses. From handmade soy wax candles to breathwork, sound bath, movement, music and nature, you name it. My inspiration is awakened through the elements, you can catch me climbing mountains and running trail marathons through the desert soil. Stretching my edges and discovering limitless potential. Connecting with Mother Earth is my greatest medicine and wisdom.

I am a heart-led leader that is sparked by the unseen depths in this life. Always moving and grooving through new experiences and expanding my capacity to serve others. Jumping from one portal to the next and turning the dial as far as it goes. Here to lead, to learn and to grow in a big way. I’m beyond thrilled to be part of this community and raise the vibration with you. Giddy up friends!

Wrigley June: Chief Happiness Officer

You can call me Wrigley or WJ, my mission is simple - to help human beings be more present while opening their hearts and minds. Dad calls me his little light worker.
I’m meant to be a goldendoodle, but Dad says i look nothing like one and that my dog-mum must have jumped the fence. I don’t really know what that means. I like treats, Mum gives me lots when Dads not looking, i love bed time, big fan of reiki and energy work which Dad does on me all the time, not a fan of the leash or walking, but love getting out and about to meet people.
