About Verna Barrow Bugg
How I Found My Energy, Vitality, and Purpose — and How I Can Help You Do the Same
I know what it’s like to feel like your body has betrayed you.
One moment, I was a seasoned Registered Nurse, Counselor, and Spiritual Leader—strong, capable, and used to caring for others. The next, I was lying in a hospital bed, convinced I was having a heart attack.
The crushing chest pain, the shortness of breath, the sheer terror—only to learn it wasn’t my heart… it was my nervous system screaming, "Enough.”
Burnout. Hormonal chaos. Unresolved trauma.
My body had been sending me signals for years, but I’d brushed them aside—because that’s what so many of us do. We power through. We prioritize everyone else. We tell ourselves, “I’ll rest later.”
But later never came—until my body forced me to stop.
That wake-up call led me to early retirement—but it also led me to healing.
I dove into integrative wellness, unraveling the layers of stress, hormonal imbalances, and emotional wounds that had been draining my energy and dimming my joy.
Slowly, I reclaimed my vitality. I learned how to nourish my body, calm my nervous system, and reconnect with my deepest desires.
And now? I’m on a mission to help you do the same.
If you’re a midlife woman who’s exhausted, overwhelmed, or feeling invisible in your own life—I see you.
If you’re tired of being told, “It’s just hormones” or “This is just part of aging”—I hear you.
You don’t have to accept fatigue, brain fog, or a life that feels smaller than it should.
You don't need more self-help books, diets, or productivity hacks.
You need a whole-person approach to reclaiming their vitality and joy — one that addresses the real-life stress, trauma, and identity shifts that come with midlife.
That’s where The Whole Woman Wellness Framework™ comes in.
It’s the culmination of my life’s work — a holistic method designed to help you reconnect with your core self and build a vibrant, fulfilling life you truly love.
Together, we’ll uncover the root causes of your burnout, balance your hormones naturally, and reignite your energy—so you can step into this next chapter vibrant, fulfilled, and powerfully yourself.
You’ve spent years caring for others. Now, it’s your turn.
I See the Whole You.

“What Women Are Saying After Working with Dr. Verna”
“I Found Myself Again”
"Working with Dr. Verna changed everything for me. For years, I poured into everyone else — my family, my job, my community — and lost sight of who I was. Through her framework, I finally learned how to reconnect with myself without guilt. I feel lighter, clearer, and more confident than I have in decades. She didn’t just coach me — she helped me come home to myself."
Michelle R., 54, Healthcare Administrator
“Not Just a Quick Fix — A Real Transformation”
"I had tried therapy, nutritionists, and even hormone specialists. But nothing truly worked until I discovered Dr. Verna’s approach. She sees the whole woman — not just the symptoms. The 7 Pillars helped me slow down, heal old wounds, and rebuild my life from the inside out. I’m sleeping better, I have more energy, and for the first time in years, I’m hopeful."
Danielle K., 47, Entrepreneur & Mom of 3
“My Midlife Was the Beginning, Not the End”
"I used to dread getting older. I felt invisible, overwhelmed, and stuck in patterns I couldn’t break. Dr. Verna helped me see that midlife wasn’t the end — it was the turning point I needed. I’ve redefined success, prioritized my health, and stepped into leadership at work and in my personal life. If you’re ready to rise, she’s the coach you want beside you."
Carmen T. 59, Executive Director
They Say...
"Dr. Bugg grants tools for unlocking one’s true potential and innate capacity for greatness. Anyone enrolled in this coursework will be challenged to think outside of their boxes, face inner truths, and experience inner-healing to propel them to self-revelation, identity, and purpose."
L. Jones, EdD
Camden University
"Verna Is like an iron fist in a velvet glove, firm yet gentle, always focused on the end goal of transformation and personal evolution. Her coaching has helped me and my wife grow in our marriage, become better money managers, and as a result, we are now happily married and living in our first home.."
George M.
Retail Sales Manager
"Verna has helped me identify the ways in which I was sabotaging myself as it related to money. By applying the principles and skills she teaches, I went from being hopeless and homeless to being a first home owner at the age of 60.
Home ownership has a been my dream all my adult life, but it seemed impossible until I started working with Verna."
