Move With Intention. Build What You're Called to Build.
How we move through the world dictates what we're able to build within it. Whether I'm advising an executive through a leadership transition or guiding an individual back to their own senses — my mission stays the same: to be a catalyst for intentional growth.
"My journey is rooted in the intersection of wellness, community, and income-generating impact."
Cheya Thousand — Founder, CT Wellness Co.From the Boardroom to a Stronger Foundation
With over a decade of corporate experience at global giants like Amazon and Deloitte, I understand the complexities of high-pressure environments. As the founder of CT Wellness Co. and a certified Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Leadership Coach, I've dedicated my career to turning EQ into practical tools that strengthen teams, elevate culture, and create sustainable success.
That same strategic rigor and empathy shape everything I do — from the boardroom to moments of stillness. Whether I'm coaching a leader, facilitating a wellness experience, or guiding someone back to their own senses, I bring the same mindfulness and intentionality, so every move aligns with their highest goals.
