About Polly Mertens
Polly Mertens is an expression of both great power and great love.
As the Founder of ThriveNOW HypnoCoaching, a revolutionary process of life coaching combined with hypnosis and NLP techniques, Thrive Women’s Business Mentoring, and creator of Breakthrough to Binge Free, an online program for eating disorders, she is moved to be of service to people looking for personal breakthroughs.
She is a practitioner of many mental and emotional mastery techniques and has been helping women around the world to up level their physical, mental, spiritual and emotional wellbeing for many years.
Her MISSION is to lead communities of conscious women to reconnect with their true self, confidently own their inner power and live a life they love.

Her sense of humor, creative imagination and sense of adventure inspire her to keep exploring this world and she is an invitation to all to enjoy our primary purpose for living; JOY.
Living Consciously
Polly had bulimia for 20 years and by using the tools she learned through personal development programs and workshops she cured herself of her gripping eating disorder in 2005. As a teacher and guide for people searching for how to turn their lives around, she gives thanks to all of the many great teachers and coaches who helped her along her self-discovery journey.
When she’s not writing, producing a new video or interview, hosting a podcast, giving a talk to a business group or women’s circle, you’ll find her out on the trails training. She’s competed in outdoor obstacles races including Spartan and Tough Mudder, half-marathons, triathlons and 12 hour Adventure Races in California, Colorado, Washington and Hawaii.
She enjoys the outdoors and fun for her is exploring national parks, unknown back roads and small towns across the US. The license plate of her colorful RV says “LVN VRTX” for “living in the vortex”. If you’re a student of Abraham Hicks you’ll know that means.
She now has a healthy relationship with food, her body and can say she’s comfortable in her own skin. She practices daily routines to embody self-love and extreme self-care.

An Invitation to You
Hi, Polly here.
My invitation to you reading this is that you take action immediately towards the new life you see for yourself from wherever you are right now.
You’re worth it!
I believe you can overcome the habit of being who you’ve been to this part, learn new strategies, create a new vision or focus on the vision you already have inside and start living your life with incredible purpose. You’re here because you know you’re not supposed to live this way – that’s why it feels so bad. I want you to be free just as much as you do.
Let’s work together to make that happen, ok?!
You’ll leave with my best advice and a roadmap for your success.
To your beautiful life,
