Who We Are
We’re a health coaching company based in Minneapolis, Minnesota who’s mission is to help everyone be happy and healthy. We want to see the twin cities become a mental and physical health miracle zone with the best health outcomes in the entire country, if not the world.
Started by people born and raised in the metro area, Strendō believes that change starts where you are. Striving to empower individuals and encouraging community development is at the heart of our service. We drive change through our health coaching program, which anyone can get started with for free by watching our Overview series.
Our highest ambition as an organization is to establish a physical location in rural Minnesota surrounded by nature. There we want to build a retreat center / spa that will ideally also function as a clinic with hired onsite providers. We want to help people become the healthiest versions of themselves, which requires a holistic approach.
In addition to health coaching, we also make handcrafted vegan soaps. While we work on opening Strendō Dōjō, we hope our soaps can help people relax so that they can be the strongest versions of themselves. 😄
Founders
Drew & Elle Otto
Working in two distinct areas of healthcare, both Drew and Elle dreamed of innovating care to provide people with real opportunities to be the healthiest versions of themselves. In the twin cities metro to this day, Drew works in the mental health field with vulnerable adults and Elle works at a hospital in the medical imaging department. Combining these two perspectives instills a deep and chilling understanding of where our healthcare system is falling short.
It’s a tragedy that any single person should fall prey to avoidable health conditions. At Strendō we believe that true health and happiness comes from a holistic approach. Our coaching program is a person-centered solution for individuals, professionals, and organizations who desire growth in their wellbeing, whether mental or physical.
