About me
Hi! I’m Yvonne Wink - coach, healer, author, speaker, host of The Unfolding Podcast, creator of The Unfolding Method, and founder of Elevate Wellness Coaching.
I guide women who are ready to rise, remember themselves, and transform their lives, especially those navigating grief, identity shifts, healing, and deep inner growth.
I’ve walked through heartbreak, trauma, depression, self-doubt, and betrayal, not by bypassing the pain, but by meeting it, sitting with it, and choosing to rise anyway. My healing didn’t start in a classroom; it started in the mirror, on ocean cliffs, and in the small decisions that kept me returning to myself.
The work I offer blends science + soul, psychology, somatics, nervous system regulation, and mindfulness, because healing isn’t a destination… It’s a return.
You’re not broken, you’re becoming.
You’re not behind, you’re unfolding.
This is your sign, healing is not only possible… It’s inevitable.
Services
Public Speaking
From corporate boardrooms to county events, yoga retreats to goal-setting workshops, I bring the same energy to every stage: raw truth, practical tools, and a spark that moves people to action. Whether speaking to a hundred executives or guiding a circle of women under a full moon, I create an experience that sticks. I weave storytelling, psychology, and humor into every talk, meeting audiences where they are, then showing them what’s possible. My style is relatable, empowering, and rooted in the belief that when people feel seen, they find the courage to change their lives.
Coaching Services
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all coaching. Whether we meet one-on-one, in a group setting, or through a workshop, our work is custom-built for your life, your challenges, and your next chapter. I help people break old patterns, heal after loss, and reconnect with who they really are, blending psychology, nervous system regulation, breathwork, mindset tools, and lived experience you can trust. Expect genuine conversations, practical strategies, and lasting breakthroughs. My style is relatable, empowering, and rooted in the belief that everything you’ve been seeking is either already within you or has been waiting to be seen. We uncover it together. If you’re ready to step into that truth, let’s begin.

Testimonials
"I can't say enough about the outstanding coaching I received from Yvonne. She went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations in every way."
~A. Nathan
Working with Yvonne changed my life. After my divorce, I felt completely lost. I was unsure of who I was outside of my pain. She helped me reconnect with my worth, rebuild my identity, and start dreaming again. Her sessions go deep, but they’re also practical, grounded, and empowering. I’ve never felt more emotionally free or aligned. She talks a lot about equipping her clients with “tool belts,” and I still use every tool she’s ever shown me. It works! I met her at a goal-setting workshop that she put on at my company, and I remembered her authentic presence. When my whole world fell apart, I found her contact information and hired her. I joined her 12-week self-love transformation classes. She reminded me that I could be the love, healing, and safety I had been searching for. She changed my life, and I’m forever grateful.
~Liv Tyler
I came to Yvonne 5 years ago, completely shattered, heartbroken, anxious, and carrying trauma I never thought I’d be able to speak out loud. She held space for me in a way no one ever had. Through our work, I not only healed from the assault and heartbreak, I found myself. I learned to regulate my nervous system, trust my voice, and stop accepting less than I deserve. Yvonne didn’t just coach me, she walked beside me until I could stand in my power again. I still remain in contact with her years later, and every once in a while, she helps me off the floor again with her knowledge, healing, and wit. I can’t thank her enough for gracefully guiding me through my childhood trauma and then home to myself.
~N. Hartman
I didn’t expect to open up, especially as a man. But Yvonne created a space where I could finally be real about my pain, my patterns, my addiction, and everything I’d been avoiding. I wasn’t forced to see her, but I met her in a mental health treatment center and just listened to what she had to say for the first week. After that, I was all in. Her approach helped me connect the dots between my past and present, and break the cycle I’d been stuck in for years. I’ve done a lot of therapy, but this was something different. This was a transformation. If you’re ready to stop blaming other people for how your life turned out, look in the mirror and face yourself, heal your pain and grow from it, then you’re going to love her. She’s sweet but doesn’t sugarcoat anything. We worked together for four months. She told me it was her honor to work with me, but I felt it was my honor as well, and I could never repay her for the work she put in with me. I was a tough case.
