Bari Klein
Founder & CEO, UpwellMe
At first, my only goal was simple: stop feeling sick. But healing came slowly, in small, deliberate behavior shifts. My social life changed. My professional life changed. I stopped showing up in usual friend and client settings around food & drinks. It challenged me in a myriad of ways.
I changed my diet, ditched alcohol, found the right vitamins/supplements, & diversified my workouts.
I feel better than I have in years. Strong. Clear. Healthy
After over 30 years in corporate America, in an industry & career I truly loved and was incredibly successful in, I made the bold decision to explore something different.
For most of my life, I’ve been passionate about health, wellness, fitness, & nutrition. Whether it was Peloton, Soul-Cycle, Electric Muscle Stimulation (EMS) Training, Weight Watchers, Metabolic Drops & Starvation, 1:1 Personal Training, or Tae Bo (yes, I go way back!), this has always been “my thing.”
So, after obtaining my Precision Nutrition Certification for Health, Nutrition, Fitness & Lifestyle Coaching, in 2025 I launched my own company- UpwellMe- to empower and coach others to transform their well-being, in a way that is realistic & compassionate, with personalized, sustainable strategies.
2024 was one of the hardest of my life, hitting me with some major personal & professional challenges, including a diagnosis of ulcerative gastritis that, which in hindsight, was the physical manifestation of stress I had been carrying for far too long.
And now?
Thanks to wisdom & support from so many voices, leaders, entrepreneurs, friends, and family, and a team of amazing personal coaches, I’ve undergone a period of growth, refining what I want as my lifestyle & in my career. I’ve experienced a transformation that’s physical, mental, emotional, & deeply personal.
And now? I’m ready to help others do the same
