The Well Life Foundation was founded by Briana and Peter Borten in late 2016, of a desire to provide the same coaching tools and services they developed for their Dragontree family to an even wider audience, including those for whom personal coaching services were financially out of reach.

The Well Life Foundation provides scholarships to The Dragontree Life Coaching Training Program, and funds Community Project Grants, to awaken dreams, empower women, and inspire peace throughout the community and collective.
