Who is behind Make it Urdae?

Hi! My name is Jillian. I am a holistic health coach born and raised in New York with a passion for all things health & wellness.

As a lifelong athlete, it never occurred to me how truly foundational nutrition is for optimizing your athletic performance and overall life quality until my first marathon.

It took me decades… DECADES, to realize the crucial importance of the food we eat.

The fuel I was using in my vehicle was not premium and my engine failed.

True story.

I fell, nearly fainted, barely catching myself on an treatment table in physical therapy.

Their first question to me was, “Hows your nutrition”

My answer, “What do you mean my nutrition?”

My road to discovering this approach to healing and lifestyle was a long and bumpy one - met with resistance.

I experienced poor nutrition among other uncomfortable imbalances. 

Why am I sharing this with you?

Because I have BEEN there. I have been in your shoes, not so sure where to start in terms of food, supportive workouts and most definitely not sure where to start in terms of sustaining a balanced lifestyle.

What is Urdae Wellness?

Derived from the ancient Greek word ‘eudaemonia’, meaning well-being, and the latin aphorism ‘carpe diem’ meaning “seize the day”, Urdae Wellness was born. 

The above is a long story short, and one of the many reasons why I opened Urdae Wellness Inc. in October of 2023.

It is a health coaching company founded upon the goals of helping you navigate the world of wellness, find balance, work towards your individual goals, not to be better than others around you, but to better than who you were yesterday.

Each individual has it within them to achieve their goals, it is my desire to help them see this. We only have one body. To be the best we can be, we need to take care of the only home we will ever know. Everyday is a new opportunity to make choices that embody the person you want to become. Everyday presents the chance to “Make it Urdae”.
