About Our Founder
I am Anthony Ray II, founder and chief executive officer of New Eras Wellness, and I am motivated to help you move!
I am certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) in health and wellness with a focus on movement, and by the state of Ohio as a community health worker. As a front-line public health worker, I am able to meet my clients wherever they are in the community. By assessing your condition and understanding your goals, I can help advocate, educate, and counsel you as we navigate the resources available to help you succeed.
My own health and wellness journey began during my studies at the University of Cincinnati, where I became interested in health promotion and education. My scope of study took my passion for community health and business to a higher level, and I knew that I had truly found my calling.
After graduating from UC, I joined Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center as Community Health Worker, providing social services as the COVID-19 pandemic was just beginning. My area of focus was Adolescent Teen Medicine, helping patients secure and navigate resources within and outside the community of Cincinnati Children’s. I performed social work, helped assist with nurse care management, helped certify and educate other community health care workers, and delivered mobile health services to ensure our patients had access to the primary care they needed.
While at Cincinnati Children’s, I became aware of the stress and fatigue affecting medical professionals. I witnessed these professionals dealing with high levels of stress, enduring burnout and compassion fatigue. Unfortunately, I was not immune to the demands of health care and the affects of the pandemic. I took time to focus on my mental health, unlocking and beginning to manage underlying issues with the help of professional therapy. During my three-month sabbatical, I prioritized learning, movement, and mental health, which help me optimize and clarify my purpose once again. I became renewed and energized. In January 2024, I became a certified health and wellness coach, inspired to help leaders like you build and grow your wellness journey.
As a UC undergraduate, I envisioned myself working with highly driven professionals to help them improve their lives through focused health and wellness programs. Since then, I have taken the steps to make that dream a reality through New Eras Wellness.
I am the coach, you’re the MVP! Let’s redesign your future through wellness!
