Amanda Rideout

I’m the founder of Rideout Wellness LLC, and my life has been nothing short of an adventure. As a certified personal trainer, yoga instructor, wellness coach, and equine-assisted therapy practitioner, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to every client I work with.

My journey has shaped me in countless ways, mother to a herd of kids, cancer survivor, and divorce survivor. For years, I thrived in high-pressure careers in human resources and sales, but the stress and burnout reminded me that true wellness was where my passion had always been and how I can share that with others.

Stepping away from that world, I embraced a new chapter focused on health and wellness.

Beyond my business, I enjoy spending time with my donkeys, riding dirt bikes, and chasing adventure throughout the Pacific Northwest. These passions fuel my belief that wellness should be exciting, dynamic, and deeply personal.

I understand many walks of life, the driven professional, the overwhelmed parent, the person rebuilding after hardship—because I’ve lived them. My goal is to guide others toward wellness in a way that feels adventurous, empowering, and sustainable.

At Rideout Wellness, I combine my education with real-world resilience to help you discover strength, balance, and healing on your own unique journey.

Lauren Vanee

I am passionate about walking alongside individuals as they align with their values, reach their goals, and thrive. With over five years of experience in coaching and therapy, I empower clients to build confidence in their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Specializing in eating disorder recovery, I also work with individuals facing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and self-confidence challenges. I incorporate various evidence-based therapies, including ACT, CBT, DBT, Strength-Based Therapy, and Family-Based Therapy. For those who desire, I provide faith-based therapy, recognizing the importance of the mind-body-spirit connection. I hold a Bachelor's in Social Work and Psychology and a Master’s in Clinical Social Work from Dordt University.
