Certified Coach & Practitioner

AIKO ENDOW WYNNHi, I’m Aiko (eye-ko) and I am an ICF and Wayfinder Certified Life Coach and Certified Metabolic Balance Coach Practitioner. I am also a Transformational Soul Coach for individuals and couples with Sedona Soul Adventures.
I grew up in beautiful Northern Utah in a small family, with a large extended family and friends. I spent most of my 30 year professional career in a corporate retail environment and relocated to the East Coast (where I met my husband), then Seattle. My success eventually began to have a negative impact on my personal health, well-being, and joy. I won an award at a company leadership meeting for my accomplishments, and yet personally, I was unhappy. I woke up exhausted every day no matter how much I slept. I put on 40 pounds. I struggled with balancing what I had to do vs what I wanted or needed. My survival instincts kicked in and fight or flight mode became a habit I never had time to break. One day, my husband asked me in that larger sense what I wanted, and I literally had no idea. My head was so foggy that I felt like I couldn’t connect to the part of me that knew – the part that decided without influence from others, without ‘shoulds’, without expectation. I had lost both of my parents and my remaining grandparents over a few years without pausing to grieve. In a flash of clarity, I knew life was too short and my story needed to be about more than a career and money. At that moment, I knew I needed to make some big changes and that I was the only one who could take action. It was a turning point. While my corporate career had been a great ride, I chose to move on to higher frequencies of growth and I've never looked back. Over last few years, I left my job and refocused on my own self-care. I worked with a dietitian and personal trainer. I took walks outside almost every day. I began a meditation practice. We moved from Seattle back to Utah to connect with family. I continued the process of rediscovering who I am and what gives me joy. I chose to use my covid ‘sabbatical’ to permanently regain control over my weight and pursue coaching certification. This path led to the discovery of Metabolic Balance®, and it changed my life. I lost the 40 pounds (and more!) and fell in love with this amazing program so much that I chose to become certified as a coach practitioner so I could share it with others. I also became certified through Martha Beck’s Wayfinder coach training program and the International Coaching Federation to enhance my natural coaching instincts and intuitive skills. I put them to use in coaching for Sedona Soul Adventures as a certified transformational soul coach and in my life coaching practice for private clients. While I am still a work in progress, I’ve found my passion of empowering others to rediscover themselves and live more fulfilling lives through coaching. I don't just talk about these ideas, I use them every day to continue to stretch into a more authentic version of myself. I know what it's like to have ups and downs, but now have better tools to learn from them and recover more quickly. When I fall short of my own expectations, I practice self-compassion, and get curious about why. The answers are always inside and I leverage coaching to access them when I need it too. Coaching is a powerful accelerant for progress and I wish I had known about it sooner. I would be honored to partner with you on your unique journey, wherever your heart and soul is waiting to lead you next! Current Coaching Offers -
