Renee D. Ward Coach, Speaker, Cancer Rebel

My MEND Method ™  provides a personalized blueprint to feel like your confident, vibrant self again by reducing stress, increasing energy, and implementing specific changes that will have the biggest and most lasting impact for you.

Ironically, high achieving women are more likely to suffer from negative self talk and limiting beliefs. That's why Mindset is the first step in my coaching process. The confidence you feel inside should reflect that powerful woman everyone else admires on the outside.

Next, a woman's Exercise and Nutrition needs change as she gets older, particularly after menopause or during periods of chronic stress. This part of my coaching process helps customize movement and foods that support your body and a healthy lifestyle.

To ensure you have success long after your private coaching ends, the last element is Daily habits. Not only will you be empowered for the long haul, you will be more resilient and better able to handle life's next challenge.

12 week commitment, $1997 investment.

Please note: The MEND Method requires an application and acceptance process, due to the high level of personal commitment and readiness for change that is required. Want to see if you are a good fit?  Apply for a free MEND ™  strategy session here.

"STICK: 5 Simple Steps to Turn Trying into Transformation" and "Stress Less Strategies" are my most popular topic for these events.

"Renee's session helped our attendees learn how to choose a habit and stick with it, using a step by step process. Her STICK method will help our attendees remember how to succeed in their goals, whatever those might be. I would absolutely recommend this talk for other groups." -Brandi Gerew, Vice President/Private Banking Officer, TowneBank

"Renee is an excellent presenter. Drawing from both her personal and professional experience, she offers easy-to-follow tips for stress management that anyone can incorporate into their daily routine." - Dana Aderhold, Manager of Work/Life, SAS.

"We wanted to host a lunch and learn with a health and fitness theme. Renee's STICK method was different but also not new - a fresh take on SMART goals. Our audience liked that Renee talked from their perspective and didn't talk too much about herself. I would recommend this session for other groups." - Emelie Flink, Member Experience Manager, City Club Raleigh

I'm a health and safety engineer, turned certified health coach, with 35 years experience helping others - from people in Fortune 100 board rooms to individual private clients just like you.

If you are a fan of personality assessments, I'm a Myers Briggs ESTJ, Enneagram 3, and DISC profile high D. If you aren't sure what any of that means - I'm super organized, responsible, driven, results oriented and love to see people succeed. I think you will find that makes for a great coach and accountability partner when you are ready to see results.

Other than organized, the word my friends most often use to describe me is inspiring. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016 and worked hard every day to take back my health. I celebrated the end of cancer treatment by participating in my first triathlon (which I trained for throughout radiation) and celebrated my 1st cancerversary by running in my first 1/2 marathon. I'm now proud to call myself a cancer rebel.

I became a Certified Heath Coach in 2018 and have been empowering midlife women to #make changesnotexcuses since. I hold additional certificates in Stress Management, Mindfulness, and Meditation. I also hold Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Engineering from North Carolina State University.

On the personal side - I am always up for a physical challenge and fueled by a mix of competition and adventure with my 3 adult sons. We've done 5 Rugged Maniacs, a highest difficulty rock climb, jumped down waterfalls in the Dominican Republic, and zip lined on the side of a volcano in Nicaragua. I do my best relaxing on the beach at sunrise or sunset, with my dog by my side.
