MANDA LYNN MCVEY

US ARMY, SPOUSE

As the wife of an active duty veteran, I have encountered firsthand the sense of disconnect from the civilian community, and even the military community, one can experience when arriving at a new duty station. Rather than letting this defeat me, I decided to use it to find strength and purpose. I dedicate much of my time bringing wellness & resiliency coaching to military spouses in the way of nutrition coaching as well as yoga, meditation, and iRest Yoga Nidra.

While raising our amazing daughter, I completed studies for my what is now my third career as a holistic wellness practitioner as well as the Army’s Spouse Master Resilience Trainer course. I use my “spare time” to coordinate volunteer events that focus on bridging the gaps between military and civilian communities by working with organizations such as Armor Down and Blue Star Families.
