ABOUT
ME

Passionate About Inspiring Others

Glad you made it to my site! My name is Douglas Haan, and I am an Entrepreneur, Wellness Expert, and coach who empowers people to reach their full potential in life & business. I am super competitive and do whatever it takes for my clients to win at work and at home. I am a proud dad of two awesome kids, have two dogs, happily married, and absolutely love where I live. I love what I do for a living! Over 170,000 people have been impacted by my coaching since 2003. Now that you made it this far, can you keep a secret? It has not always been that way and life still has is challenges. What looks like luck and circumstance on the outside to get where I am today, has really been years of dedication, perseverance, and grit. I have survived alcoholism, depression, loss of purpose, anxiety, burnout, multiple failed businesses, loneliness, and no sense of purpose. However, through all of that, I am blessed to have had the right mentors to inspire me to turn my pain into my purpose and use my struggles to help others. My ability to really feel what my clients are going through has enabled me to help them achieve better results. I do what I do today because after each major problem in my life that I solved, I promised myself I would help others do the same. I would love to hear your story and how I can help.

 

My approach is 50% Art and 50% Science, while being fun, compassionate, and results based. I started coaching in 2003 as a personal trainer while in college. As time went on in my career, I learned to help people with a variety of challenges, including mental health, business, addiction, and life purpose. My mission has been to empower more people as I grow in my career. Over the last two decades, I have held senior leadership roles with top wellness companies, owned a health club at 35, launched my own mobile app, and had the #1 rated wellness business in North Carolina through Thumbtack. Through time I added mental health & wellness, career coaching, business strategy, meditation, and general life coaching. I continue to coach my fitness and nutrition training. Through the years, I have come to the conclusion, that a comprehensive wellness approach achieves the best results. In order for people to succeed in life and business they need to have a goal. They need to know their starting point, develop a strategy, and have a coach to hold them accountable to their goal.
