Meet JT Heglund

JT is passionate about people. She is obsessed with helping people gain clarity around their innate strengths, uncover the “why” behind their daily rhythms, and cultivate emotional resilience. Her methodology integrates tools like the CliftonStrengths Assessment, Simon Sinek’s WHY Discovery, and the TalentSmart Emotional Intelligence Appraisal to help humans feel seen, empowered, and emotionally grounded.

 

Prior to becoming a life coach, JT spent over a decade in the life sciences industry and held diverse roles in genomics—from the lab bench to commercial leadership. This journey gave her a deep respect for how unique talents shape how we show up in work and in life. Today, she brings that same belief into her work with mothers and corporate professionals—helping them remember who they are at their core, beyond the roles they play, and guiding them to live with intention and vibrance.

 

JT is a Certified Gallup CliftonStrengths Coach, Certified Emotional Intelligence Facilitator, Certified WHY Coach with Simon Sinek’s Optimism Company, and a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach—honoring the connection between mind, body, and soul.

 

She finds joy in hiking the Santa Cruz mountains, sipping coffee at her favorite local spots, dancing in the living room with her two daughters, and carving out quiet moments of reflection between the beautiful chaos of motherhood.
