About Know Better U
Science-backed and group-supported, Know Better U is effective psycho-education for anyone needing a healthier way to live their best life.
KNOW BETTER U
Where we started
After working with nearly 1000 clients, Wendi noticed recurring challenges that could be addressed with better foundational life skills. That insight sparked the creation of Know Better U—a program designed to teach students the essential tools they didn’t learn at home or in school but need to thrive in life.
Why “Know Better U”?
The length of each course varies, with some spanning 8 weeks and others just 4, offering flexibility to fit diverse schedules. Each course combines self-guided work, allowing for personalized pacing, with dynamic group sessions that foster collaboration and shared growth. This thoughtful design reflects educational best practices, bringing back the most enriching aspect of learning: connecting, engaging, and growing together in a supportive environment.

Stephanie Bates, ACC
I’m an ICF credentialed Life Coach, and I’m here to help guide you through your KBU journey. The health and wellness road can be rough and confusing.

I’m here to help you untangle that messaging so that you can start to build a relationship with yourself that will allow you to nurture your wants, needs, and values, and ultimately lead to a more authentic, sustainably healthier, happier you—a you that you can feel proud of.
