Mentor, friend, entrepreneur, author, wife and Oma to the children in my life.
Patty Purpur de Vries helps you work with your mind, not against it.
If you’re ready to feel more calm, clear, resilient, and intentional in the way you lead and live, I can help you understand how your mind works and practice new ways of responding.
For more than 30 years, I’ve helped people perform and live well as a Stanford athlete, entrepreneur, organizational well-being leader, facilitator, and teacher. I founded a workplace wellness company serving Google, Cisco, Yahoo!, Safeway, and others, then spent nearly a decade leading well-being programs at Stanford University.
Today, through Living Well USA, I make neuroscience practical. Together, we learn to notice conditioned patterns, interrupt automatic reactions, reframe the stories shaping our experience, and consciously create more calm, connection, meaning, and joy.
