our
STORY
Since 2006 we've been carving a unique path in the wellness industry. Interestingly, this is also when we first started dating. Now married and running our own company, we are revolutionizing what wellness means and looks like. After all this time we've found that what works best for us and thousands of our clients is to understand ourselves more deeply and follow what feels good within our mind, body, and soul.
Hello, we are Wendy and Dan Hennessey. Our goal here is to share joy, wisdom, and practical steps from our own experiences, careers, and continued education to help you create the life you have always dreamed of!
Wendy's Path
Wendy was born in Haiti and at the age of 5 moved to Newark, NJ with her family. She is an expert not only at facing adversity but smashing through obstacles with grace, beauty, and a calm sense of undeniable strength only a woman can display.
Wendy has a passion for life that at her core is simply based on feeling good. Her earliest memories are filled with music, dancing, and celebrating life to the fullest. She continues to carry this passion with her everywhere she goes and you can feel it as soon as she walks in the room.
After completing her Bachelor's Degree in Sociology and her Master's in Health Administration, she quickly found her way into hospital managerial roles. Wendy helped to organize and optimize healthcare systems while increasing patient advocacy.
However, she was never satisfied. With all of the uphill battles in our current healthcare system, she knew deep down that she could help people in a larger way. With only about 10% of healthcare funding going to preventative care and the remaining 90% going to treating illnesses and diseases after they happen, Wendy knew she would have the biggest impact by helping people lead a healthier lifestyle and thrive to avoid diseases altogether.
Now she helps people around the globe realize an abundance of well-being not just by telling, but by living and showing. All of her platforms provide free resources, education, and practices that help thousands of people understand how to become their own personal health and wellness expert not just for themselves, but for their families and communities as well.
Dan’s Path
Dan was born and raised in Edison, NJ where his journey started with sports and training high-level athletes. Dan fell in love with basketball at the early age of 7 and that would ultimately become the first building block of his career. Basketball became Dan's vehicle for growth and understanding. Early on he learned to trust his gut and go for things he knew to be his truth.
He was recruited to play college basketball and this led him to embark on his education in exercise, nutrition, and behavioral psychology. It was his passion and belief in himself that led him to his current life’s work.
After graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Exercise Physiology, Dan embarked on a 10-year journey training professional athletes, conducting training programs for high school teams, building 2 different wellness companies, and working with thousands of everyday people looking to eat, move and live healthier lifestyles.
He received recognition from world leader Precision Nutrition for the life-changing holistic transformations his clients were getting beyond just weight loss. For Dan, it is all about empowering the people he has a chance to meet, so they can grow and live their lives to their fullest, at their own pace, and on their terms.
Dan has poured all of his energy into becoming not only an entrepreneur, coach, and nutritional expert, but also continues to be a humble student like all of the teachers before him. Now with nearly two decades of experience under his belt, awards, and tons of real-world results, he’s more passionate than ever to see people happier, healthier, and living their dreams!
Our Company's Path
In 2016 we got engaged and started our wellness company, True4you Fitness LLC. We named our start-up “True4You Fitness”, as a constant reminder that wellness and life are individual journeys based on a process of self-creation.
Our mission was simply to improve the overall well-being of each person we had the opportunity to work with. We were able to build online programs from our educational background and decades of combined experience in healthcare, meditation, nutrition, exercise, and longevity practices.
A year after our engagement we both quit our jobs to run our company fully online so we could live out one of our dreams and travel the world together. It was amazing and still is to this day! Working online gave us the freedom to explore other interests like travel, spiritual growth, photography, and video production. It also gave us a lot of time to work with clients and spend more time with each other.
With our travels, we've learned things about health and wellness that no classroom or work environment could ever teach. We lived in what is called a "Blue Zone" where people regularly live well into ages 90, 100, and beyond!
We spent 3 glorious months in the beautiful Blue Zone of Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica and it completely transformed our entire outlook on life! We got to see, touch, taste, smell, and feel what being healthy really means in its purest form. Costa Ricans say it best with their simple yet powerful countrywide mantra, "Pura Vida", which literally translates to Pure Life! We couldn't say it any better ourselves.
Where Are We Now?
Now married, we continue to travel and explore. We create informative, inspirational, life-changing programs and content that help thousands of people around the world!
Rooted securely in where we came from, we love sharing our experiences and opening our hearts so that others may do the same and thrive as we are intended. We are extremely grateful for where our journey has taken us and we hope to continue to guide people in living a less stressed life that is overall happier, healthier, and fulfilling in all ways.
