Awareness brings clarity.

Hi, I’m Hellen Finley, the heart behind Mindset Shift Wellness Coaching, a Health & Wellness coach trained by Mayo Clinic.

I grew up in a large family with 7 siblings. As the oldest, life was never easy. There were constant challenges, responsibilities, and limited resources—but I always kept my focus on the positive and the possibilities life offered. I worked low-paying jobs to build skills, earned a scholarship to attend college because my parents and I couldn’t afford it, and step by step, I started building my life from an early age.

When I turned 27, I had a great opportunity to come to the USA. Even though my English wasn’t fluent, I decided to take the leap and reinvent myself. Before making this big move, I asked myself, "What truly makes me happy?" The answer was clear: living a balanced life. But at that time, I wasn’t living it. I was working long hours, battling stress-related stomach problems, not eating well, and not taking care of myself. I was in survival mode.
I changed because I had to. The mental and physical pain of staying in the same place became too much to bear.

That’s when I decided to invest in myself. I committed to learning new things, journaling, exercising more, finding a new hobby (climbing)  and with that, I began creating new habits and becoming a better version of myself.

After living in the USA for a while, life threw another curveball. At the end of 2024, after months of feeling exhausted and struggling to do simple things, like going upstairs without feeling out of breath, I went to a routine doctor’s appointment. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, a chronic condition. This diagnosis forced me to look inward once again and reevaluate what truly mattered to me. I realized that achieving balance in life was non-negotiable.

Sometimes, life has a way of showing us the path we need to take. For me, that diagnosis led me to where I am today. I chose to focus on taking care of myself and use my love language—serving others—to help people grow.

2024 was the year I decided to take my dreams out of the drawer and take action. I left my job as a Child Care Specialist, enrolled in the Mayo Clinic Health and Wellness Coaching program, and committed to sharing my knowledge and life experiences to support your growth. I want to help you build healthy habits and guide you in living life to the fullest.

Throughout my journey, I’ve always been in search of something that excites me. When I think about being a coach, I feel that excitement deep in my heart.
I’m here to be your wellness coach, mentor, and biggest cheerleader.
