  • "I was amazed by how transformative this program was."

    I took ownership of my health in a new way, finding what exercise, lifestyle habits, and eating habits worked for my life, made me feel great, and were actually sustainable. It was powerful to articulate what my health goals were, become aware of what habits, practices and beliefs were working well for me and what I wanted to shift.

  • "Her expertise helped us recognize that meaningful wellbeing initiatives extend far beyond surface-level solutions, requiring systematic changes in policies, expectations, and institutional practices. "

    Our recent three-day wellbeing audit with Kirsten Pontius provided invaluable insights into our community's health at ICS Addis Ababa. Kirsten's framework, emphasizing the intersection of personal, community, and institutional care, resonated deeply with our staff. Through Kirsten's guidance, we've gained clarity on addressing complex challenges like work-life balance, leadership modeling, and equitable compensation. Her collaborative approach and deep understanding of international school dynamics have set us on a more sustainable path forward. - Calley Connelly, ICS Addis
