About Anita

 Hi, I’m Anita Barbero — founder of Renew Your Health LLC — and I believe that true well-being comes from caring for every part of ourselves: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.

Bringing mindfulness to the boardroom: Anita Barbero’s journey through ESPN, Chewy & Beyond

What if your most valuable asset isn't listed anywhere on your balance sheet? As businesses struggle with burnout, retention, and ever-increasing demands, well-being strategist Anita Barbero offers a compelling vision for transforming workplace cultures through mindful, strategic wellness integration.

Drawing from her extensive experience with iconic brands including ESPN, Disney, and Chewy, Barbero dismantles the misconception that well-being is merely a nice-to-have perk. "It needs to be embedded into the very fabric of the organization," she explains, presenting a business case that's impossible to ignore: companies investing in mental health initiatives see up to four times return through reduced absenteeism, increased productivity, and lower healthcare costs.

 
 

For more than 25 years, I’ve guided people through coaching, classes, workshops, and retreats designed to nurture real lasting wellbeing. My work is rooted in the belief that we are whole beings — and that true health includes our mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing.

At the heart of everything I offer is mindfulness. It’s a powerful tool that helps us reconnect with ourselves, meet life’s challenges with clarity, and build strength from the inside out. Whether I’m supporting individuals or working with entire teams, I meet each person with compassion, presence, and understanding.

Renew Your Health was born from my passion to help others rediscover their vitality and inner strength — because your life is a gift, and you deserve to feel fully alive wherever you are on your life journey

  • “Since Anita has come into my life, my mindfulness practice, including a strong focus on self-care, has grown through her gentle and steadfast support. Her fresh perspectives on coping with challenges have inspired me to embrace trials as teachers as I move through seasons of change. I am grateful for Anita’s wisdom and generous heart, and find myself tapping into the tools I have acquired with more ease.”

  • “Coming across Anita’s Zoom meditation and yoga classes was a godsend during the pandemic. Weekly meditation was helpful for accountability, a sense of community, and an opportunity in my busy day to be present and stay still. Taking her yoga class gave me a chance to move my body when working at home and sitting a lot. Anita’s guidance and attention to adjustments needed for those with disabilities were extremely helpful. I’ve enjoyed every class and always looked forward to the next one.”

  • “I’ve had amazing experiences with Anita as a yoga instructor and a mindfulness guide. Her spirit and energy are invigorating while her knowledge of the practice encourages me to learn more. She helps bring my yoga skills to another level; I now see the physical and mental benefits of my practice. On our mindfulness retreat I learned how to quiet my thoughts and get in tune with my thoughts and emotions. Anita has become both a mentor and a friend who truly teaches me how to “be here” and enjoy the moment.”

  • “Our employees are our greatest asset! Investing in their wellbeing, in addition to being the right thing to do, allows them to perform at their best in the workplace. We ask a lot of our team and I believe we should promote time for self-care. Anita’s workshop allowed us time to focus on our physical and mental health. She gave us “tools” to remind us to put ourselves at the top of our “care” list. Thank you Anita for the beautiful delivery of an important message!”

  • “During some challenging times in my life, I turned to Anita’s guided meditations on her YouTube channel. I listen to them often, sometimes twice a day.​ Having a guided meditation in person with Anita is healing. I look forward to those opportunities. When Anita became a Reiki practitioner, I was overjoyed. I have always loved Reiki. I had a treatment from her… and will continue to go. It helped to cleanse my negative energy. I cannot wait to have another session. Anita truly has a gift as a healer. She is a true godsend.”
