Wellness with Cate Wilkes coaching program kicks off Oct. 18

Wellness with Cate Wilkes will offer a new group coaching program called Path to Purpose: 7 Steps to Living a Life that Matters, starting Wednesday, Oct. 18, in Lewes.

Bringing transformational life coaching and mental wellness services to Sussex County, Wilkes is also now accepting new clients for mental toughness, sleep and stress reduction.

When Wilkes was 17, she left home and never looked back, putting herself through college by working two or three jobs at a time. This experience started a lifetime of thinking about mental wellness and learning how to use mental toughness to find solutions and get through the rough patches.

Wilkes graduated with a degree in business administration and went into business finance, where she worked for a globally renowned company for more than 10 years.

When the pandemic hit, Wilkes, like many others, found herself at a crossroads. After experiencing the death of several loved ones, including her business mentor, Wilkes felt like all she wanted to do was climb under the covers and never come out.

And, for a few months, that is what she did. Until a friend of hers introduced her to a product that would help her get back on track, remember everything she already knew about mental toughness, and teach her more about mental health and wellness.

Wilkes decided it was time to leave northern Virginia where she lived most of her life and go somewhere she could breathe again. She found her new awakening in Lewes.

“I believe that wellness is the realization of your best self and the impact you can have in the world,” Wilkes said. “Through my business, I'm changing the way people think about mental wellness. Our integrated solutions focus on the connection between ancient wisdom and innovative technology, and the interwoven connection between our body and our brain (the gut-brain axis).”

Wellness with Cate Wilkes offers stress and anxiety support for people of all ages, including children and teens who are facing rising anxiety levels nationwide.

“Developing stress resilience and maintaining focus, positivity and a happy mood can be simple, and most of the time it can be accomplished without the downstream effects of pharmaceuticals as a first step,” Wilkes said.

She is certified in life coaching and life mastery, and has two certifications in energy healing. She is also certified in mental wellness coaching.

“I guide clients through lifestyle programs proven to create new habits, target root-cause issues and maximize mental wellness,” Wilkes said. “With the right approach, you can rise above the barriers of stress, burnout and overwhelm to a place of peace, clarity, positivity and joy. And that's the very place where a life can truly be transformed.”

Wilkes specializes in mood, focus, positivity, calmness and non-melatonin sleep support for adults, teens and children. She is also starting to collaborate with local pediatric practices.
