Health Coach

Mary Etta

Mary Etta McCurdy is a Certified Independent Health and Wellness Coach serving all over the USA. A graduate of the University of Findlay, Ohio, she has worked as a manager in the retail industry and in sales and marketing at AT&T. Once she and her husband, Alvin, had expanded their family to 3 children (now grown), she was a stay-at-home mom. This allowed her to pivot and pursue her first love of interior decorating with Custom Window Coverings as a niche. 

That is how Mary Etta Designs was founded in West Chester, Ohio where the McCurdy’s were living in 2000.  

 When her husband’s job change necessitated the family’s move to Orange County, California in 2003, Mary Etta Designs followed to their new home.

And then with the 2008 recession, Mary Etta pivoted again by working for several retail entities, the last of which was 3Day Blinds.

 In 2020, when health challenges affected her ability to carry heavy samples to and from customer homes, she decided to retire from the design industry. Mary Etta pivoted once more and now helps clients live their optimal life with healthy bodies, healthy minds and healthy finances through her health coaching business.
