About The FeelWise Foundation
At the beginning of 2022, Ryan and Kristi learned of another teen suicide in their community. The couple took a collective breath and decided to take action. As entrepreneurs and parents of four children, they felt compelled to use their resources, network, and expertise to improve the emotional well-being of teens and their families. Kristi and Ryan have a unique opportunity to create a lasting impact by combining the innovative technology of their self-awareness app Vibeonix with a comprehensive platform of expert mental health resources.
The Holts partnered with Amber Trueblood, a licensed mental health practitioner, entrepreneur, and mother of four. Over the following weeks, the vision and strategy of the non-profit began to crystallize. Kristi and Amber reached out to their networks and quickly found that the emotional health of teens affected even more families than they imagined. The need is vast and deep. Teens need real resources beyond what the medical and educational systems currently provide. From there, the FeelWise Foundation was born.
