Thrive Plastic Free
Our Story
After years in scientific and wellness industries, Thrive Plastic Free was established in 2026 to be the change we want to see - empowering individuals, groups, and business to achieve ambitious plastic free goals. Born from a love for nature, passion for health and wellness, and frustration with an out-of-sight out-of-mind market, Thrive Plastic Free is about jumping into possibility.
BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY: Thrive Plastic Free's mission is to build permanent non-reliance on plastic. We envision a sustainable economy with full circle waste management, which in turn will dramatically improve global health. Big ambitions with a practical approach, we value thoughtfulness, community, and joy.
TEACHING PHILOSOPHY: We believe that plastic free is for everybody. Each person and location have unique challenges. No two pathways are the same, so we forge together with a sense of curiosity, a sense of humor, and willingness to do hard things because learning is exploring and that's how great discoveries are made.

Meet the Coach
In 2018 I was the first person I knew who committed to being plastic free. It was an adventure with the barest of maps, where the first one to three months were the hardest by far.
I had to relearn how to find food and water, be two steps ahead at stores so my purchases didn't disappear into plastic bags, and ensure - during COVID - that online orders would be delivered in compostable materials. I also felt my endocrine system regulate and inflammation decrease prior to these health effects of microplastics going mainstream.
Health is a way of life. The Plastic Free Lifestyle incorporates awareness, responsibility, empowerment, joy, and a sense of community. If you are ready for transformation, I am here to guide you to new habits and possibilities.
Now is a great time to go plastic free. There is momentum.
I went plastic free for wildlife. In return I resolved health issues I didn't know I had. -- JT
