Tuere Dunton Forbes, M. Ed.

Tuere Dunton- Forbes is a Georgia native, currently residing in Charlotte, North Carolina. She earned a B.A. in Psychology from Alabama A&M University and a M.Ed. in School Counseling from Florida A&M University. Passionate about helping others, she has worked in the field of Professional School Counseling since 2005 in one of the largest school districts in North Carolina. As a district leader, she advocates for implementation of comprehensive school counseling via the ASCA model, which focuses on impacting student outcomes through data-drive decisions. She consistently advocates for employee wellness in her workplace and other settings.

Her interest in making health and wellness a priority for her lifestyle was birthed out of the death of both of parents (2013 & 2016) to preventable diseases; and an attack on her own health, for which was later diagnosed as Lyme disease. Enduring those losses while withstanding her own health challenges has given her the desire to be a better steward of her temple; so that she can be an example and educate others on how to do the same. She completed the Dr. Sears Wellness Institute’s science-based program in 2015 and obtained her Health Coaching certification, and founded a life and wellness coaching brand, Empowher-2-F.I.T., LLC (formerly N360). As an upcoming author, she has authored I Dare You to Live: Reclaim Your Life from The Grips of Strongholds (2021), along with two companion products; I Dare You to Live: The Journey (a journal) and the I Dare You to Live- Affirmation Cards (2022). She uses her knowledge and personal experiences to empower others to use strategies that can help them live as the C.E.O. of their lives, while showing them how to connect life and wellness, one commitment at a time. A lot of her work has focused on working mothers and wives who need help identifying the barriers to their wellness goals and developing a plan of execution. She enjoys teaching wellness topics, such as general wellbeing, accountability and life balance. She also organizes and hosts “Meet-ups” to connect like-minded individuals through thought provoking dialogue centered around one or more of the 8-dimensions of wellness.
