Join the 7-Day Self-Care Challenge

with Meredith Van Ness, LCSW, Therapist and Coach

A roadmap to a happier, calmer more confident you.

With these simple ideas, that you can do in 5 minutes (or less), it’s time to take the first step and finally begin to prioritize yourself.

Hey there, I am Meredith!

My passion for empowering women led me to create the 7-Day Self-Care Challenge, a flexible email course designed to help you finally put yourself first.

With over 20 years of experience as a licensed therapist (LCSW) and life coach, I get self-doubt, limiting beliefs, and neglecting self-care that gets in the way all the time. Once I finally decided to prioritize myself, I unlocked incredible energy, unshakeable confidence, and the ability to attract what I desired.

Now, I'm dedicated to sharing the proven strategies that have helped 1000’s of women overcome these hurdles and cultivate confidence, clarity, and yes even inner calm.

 

I'm here to help you restart, refocus, and finally prioritize yourself—guilt-free.
