Meet our staff

 I am a proud mama of three beautiful adult children:  Gabrielle, Garrett, & Gracie Wright.  All three of my children love the Lord and are moving into their lifelong careers by choosing to place Him first in each of their lives.  That, above all, is my number one accomplishment in this life.

      After much education and hard work, I was recently faced with the loss of my dear friend and colleague of seven years, Dr. Gary Hoffman, to suicide.    After being faced with such traumatic news, I decided I was tired!  No!  I was sick and tired of being sick and tired, as a whole, that our society has such the limited resources for someone who needs help regarding their overall well-being. This began my journey of trying to create a wellness center where all the appropriate resources could be under one roof--resources and services that could be available for individuals who are seeking a life of wellness.

 When challenged by my mentor to seek a scripture that would be the “root” to my business plan, I prayed about the loss of my dear friend and asked God to show me an “easier way” for folks to receive the help they need to live a life pleasing to Him.    It is then that Mark 12:30-31 became my “life’s calling” scripture--to help mankind, as a whole, to balance their life--heart, soul, mind and strength.

For years, I have wondered where my calling to serve God fit in.  I tried pastoring, but I did not fit in.  I worked for years in homeopathic medicine, but my heart never, truly, felt fulfilled.  When my mentor challenged me to search “deep within,” after the loss of my colleague, I did just that. I dove into the Word, prayed, fasted and even secluded myself for a weekend to "hear" whatever the Lord might challenge me to do with all of my education and resources.

Out of this journey, the Lord challenged me with this mission we now call WayPointe Life - Center for Wellness & Renewal.

If you are hurting or seeking to find fulfillment in any way in your life--heart, mind, soul or strength--I pray you will find whatever you are searching for within the confines of what we have created together, as a team, in WayPointe Life - Center for Wellness & Renewal.

 I am a proud mother to 2 beautiful little girls, Kleveland and Kiptyn, and Fiance to their father Kree’von. We are a Christian family who praises our God not only on Sunday mornings, but every day. It is an honor, blessing, and continuous drive to teach our children about our Savior.     

I grew up in Alexandria Indiana, raised in a Christian home with the most incredible role models as my parents, and 2 siblings whom I couldn’t love any more. I have always loved to be physically active, playing 6 varsity sports in high school, then going on to play basketball at Anderson University. Academics were always a priority in  our household. I’ve always dreamt of being a Plastic Surgeon, and went to AU to achieve the first steps toward that goal, however I ran into some mental and physical disabilities that ended my time at Anderson short. I moved to Indianapolis to get away from my past life, and ended up meeting my Fiancé, an AU alum. We became pregnant with our first child, born in 2022, and quickly followed our second, born in 2023. We currently reside in Alexandria, where I was a stay at home mom for 2 years before taking on my current role at WayPointe Life, in which I am incredibly happy to be a part of.     

In my future, I hope to return to school to live out my dream of becoming a Plastic Surgeon if that is the Lord’s will for my life. But for now, I am so excited to be involved in WayPointe Life, and forever thankful for Stephanie Fair taking a chance on me.

His recovery is ongoing, and he continues to experience healing and growth on a regular basis.  He celebrates over nine years of sobriety.   He is a member and leader within a multicultural, multigenerational faith community based in Anderson, Indiana. This has allowed Bryan to live out the Gospel more fully in a non-dominant way.

Bryan is a proud and grateful husband and father and has been married 17 years. Together, he and his wife are raising a 14-year-old son and a 12-year-old daughter, and together they have buried one son.    

"Loving God and loving people has been my life. I was raised in a ministry-centered home, and caring for those who need care is second nature to me. However, I have learned healthy boundaries. This has allowed me to serve from a place of joy, rather than fear.    My life verse is Isaiah 61:1-2, 'To bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim release to the captives and liberation to those who are bound, to proclaim the year of Yahweh’s favor, and our God's Day of vengeance, to comfort all those in mourning.' " (Lexham English Bible)

 I am a born and raised Hoosier from Hartford City, but bleed black and gold, graduating from Purdue University with a degree in Nursing in 2000. I grew up on a small family farm always knowing I would attend Purdue, hoping to be a veterinarian, however when I was exposed to hospitals at a young age with my father having heart disease, by the time I was a senior in high school, I decided to go into nursing.  I have spent my entire career at IU Health Ball Memorial and Blackford Hospitals in various roles, but have a passion for Wound Ostomy Continence (WOC) Nursing and education. I obtained my WOC certification from Emory University in 2008 and never thought I would leave the world of WOC nursing.  

However, life threw a curveball in 2015 when I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 37 with no family history. After returning to work after treatments and several surgeries, I knew exactly what came first in my life which is my faith and my family. I took a leap of faith and left WOC nursing to take the Nursing Professional Development position at Blackford, which was a whole lot closer to my home. I was able to facilitate my boys’ activities by being close to school and more available at home while my husband farmed. The move also allowed me to pursue a dream earlier than anticipated by obtaining my Master of Nursing Science in Education from Western Governor’s University in 2022. 

When I am not at work being a nurse, I enjoy spending time with my husband of 23 years, our 4 boys – Noah, Mason, twins Gavin and Gabe, and loyal farm dog Sadie. We enjoy livestock, showing pigs and cattle, attending Cross Country and Track events, and basketball…lots and lots of basketball. You can usually find me with a good “self-help” book, spiritual podcast, being involved in my church, our schools and community or talking with my extended family. I look forward to someday getting to do more flower arranging, sewing and travel!

Some of Brenda's enjoyable hobbies include, but certainly aren't limited to, chatting with people, learning new skills, reading mystery novels, and taking beach vacations.
