Hey there,

I’m Jordan

To be honest, it’s hard for me to find words to describe how deeply passionate I am about the work I share - it comes from the depths of my soul. To put it most simply, learning how to implement these practices has had a profound impact on the quality of my life in ways I never thought possible. And for that reason, it feels like my mission and greatest honor to help as many people as possible do the same. 

I believe we can live a life with less suffering and greater sense of inner peace, connection and purpose. 

I believe this way of being is not only available to a select few, but to all who have a body, mind and soul. 
I believe when we create cultures and communities centered around our humanness and wellbeing, all have the possibility to thrive.   

And lastly, I believe when we come together with this vision and intention, anything is possible.

Thank you for being here, 

Jordan

If you’re ready, let’s embark on this journey together and see what we create. 

How I Got Here

Jordan Aftanas is a Wellness Coach + Consultant who supports individuals and organizations to implement strategic wellness in their everyday life.

She began her career at one of the most prestigious advertising firms in the world, Wieden+Kennedy, where she worked as a Brand Strategist for national and global brands such as AirBnB, TurboTax and Samsung.

While working in the high demand environment of advertising (and experiencing a great deal of burnout herself) her passion, and necessity, for holistic health and stress management grew as a way to navigate this world without completely burning out. She traveled around the world immersing herself in holistic health studies in places such as India and Dominican Republic as a way to expand her knowledge. With the desire to tie all her passions together, she became a Certified AYL Master Life Coach and transitioned from her career in Advertising to launch her wellness coaching and consulting business. 

She has parlayed her strategic experience and infused it with her in-depth exploration of holistic personal development to share her knowledge and experience to support organizations and individuals in transforming their relationship with health and wellness as a way to do their greatest work in the world. 

She currently works as the Director of Wellness for TEDxPortland as well as a consultant for many incredible organizations, such as Wieden+Kennedy and Knot Springs, supporting them to create initiatives that help their employees and communities to alleviate burnout and become more compassionate and skillful leaders while cultivating cultures that normalize and celebrate an elevated prioritization of health and wellness. 

With over 10 years of experience in this field, Jordan has become a leader, speaker, facilitator, and inspired to be an agent of change where her work stands for something that is far beyond herself. She is here to create a ripple effect in this world by spreading wellness far and wide.
