ABOUT
Ed Pienkosz has always been
passionate about helping others
live well through a balanced,
evolving approach to physical,
mental, social, financial, and
spiritual well-being. He
understands that life balance is
dynamic -sometimes calm,
sometimes turbulent - benefiting
from both understanding and a
plan to navigate inevitable
change.
With both formal education and
real-life experience, Ed believes
that meeting individuals where
they are and understanding their
journey leads to sustainable life
contentment. He does not base
his personalized approach on a
position of perfection, as his
own life has been anything but
perfect. Instead, he embraces
his own challenges - from being
a competitive athlete to
surviving a heart attack in a
single day, experiencing job
losses and financial challenges,
and facing relationship hurdles.
Each challenge has deepened his
perspective. As he often says,
“Managing challenges is
existing, but balancing them to
achieve contentment is living.”
Ed’s professional experience
spans hands-on patient care,
leading teams, and creating
programming for innovative
health startups like Noom and
Oura, as well as directing
national projects with
organizations such as the CDC
and the United Methodist Church
These experiences, combined
with his personal journey, have
shaped his unique insights into
mindset and life balance.
Live Simply Well was born from a
combination of Ed’s personal and
professional experiences, which
are now applied to help
individuals navigate life’s
shifting dimensions. Whether
you seek life balance or need to
build capacity to cope with
change, Ed looks forward to
meeting you where you are and
guiding you toward lasting
contentment.
CREATOR OF
LIVE SIMPLY
WELL
Ed Pienkosz, has always had
a desire to help others live
well. To him this is a balanced,
healthful approach which
naturally evolves across your
life while maintaining a
positive combination of
physical, mental, social,
financial. and spiritual
aspects. Drawing from his
own life experiences, and
formal education, he is keenly
aware that achieving quality
of life requires give and take,
and like the surface of water
can change from calm and
level to rough and wavy at
various times throughout life.
Through a combination of
formal education and valuable
life experience, Ed clearly
understands that you must
meet each individual "where
they are" in life while learning
how they got to that point
and where they wish to be.
Undergraduate and Master's
degrees aside if you can't
relate to the individual,
applying the knowledge
doesn't go far. Ed's personal
challenges, and experiences....
such as going from a
competitive athlete to a
heart attack survivor (all in
the same day), have offered
him the opportunity to
successfully utilize his
professional knowledge to
achieve life balance for himself
and his clients. As he
regularly says, "Managing the
challenges in our lives is
existing but Balancing them
to achieve a contentment is
living." Hands on work with
patients in hospitals, to
creating programs for
innovative health start-ups
such as Noom and Oura, to
leading national projects for
more traditional organizations
like the CDC and United
Methodist Church, to his own
life hiccups has offered Ed
unique insights on people,
their mindsets, and how to
help YOU understand that life
balance is not static but
indeed very dynamic. However,
he also understands there
are always more insights to
be gained which then can be
used when helping individuals
achieve the life balance
(i.e. Life Contentment)
they desire
These decades of diverse
personal and professional
experiences have led to the
creation of Live Simply Well.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
MARTIN,
FOUNDATION CEO
In my profession we deal with
evolving changes and related
challenges everyday. That
said, when it came to my
personal life I was not
applying the lessons learned
to address shifting dynamics.
This led to an underlying
stress I was missing.
Through gaining understanding
of my entire ecosystem,
Ed was able to quickly identify
the contrast and create a
simple plan for me to achieve
the overall balance I had
been struggling to find.
HASSAM,
MARKETING
PROFESSIONAL
Ed helped me understand the
subtle differences between
dynamic and static life
balance, and shift my mindset
to be comfortable with life
changes. He truly cared
about me as a person, not
just a client.
KRISTEN,
EDUCATOR
I was so glad to find Ed and
use his knowledge to help me
transition from feeling
overwhelmed to being at
peace with handling the
evolving life changes. His
demeanor puts you at ease,
while he helps identify your
true needs.
DOMINIQUE,
NURSE
PRACTITIONER
Ed has an innate ability to
quickly connect with
individuals and understand
their challenges and goals.
I’m always comfortable
recommending his services
to people seeking to balance
out their lives or build the
capacity to do so.
