Meet Coach Cami, MA, PCC, NBC-HWC
Cami Smalley, MA, known as Coach Cami, is a professional well-being coach, speaker, and author of the Amazon best-seller Mindful Pause: A Self-Care Guide to Resilience and Well-Being. She coaches leaders and professionals through her independent practice, Guided Resilience, and serves as a coach with BetterUp.
Based in Bayfield, Wisconsin along the shores of Lake Superior, Cami facilitates retreats and programs at the renowned Wild Rice Retreat while also working with individuals and organizations seeking greater resilience, well-being, and personal growth.
Before establishing her current practice, Cami spent many years consulting within large healthcare systems, including a major Twin Cities hospital, supporting physicians, nurses, and clinical teams through coaching, resilience training, and leadership development. Her work has also included collaborations with organizations such as Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Emory University programs for physician well-being, Bristol Myers Squibb, and other healthcare and nonprofit organizations.
Cami’s coaching integrates positive psychology, mindfulness, and whole-person development. She is also a certified HeartMath Institute Resilience Advantage™ trainer and teaches yoga and mindfulness practices that support nervous-system regulation and sustainable well-being.
Through her Mindful Pause framework—Stop, Breathe, Notice, Choose—Cami helps people cultivate grounded awareness, wise action, and resilient growth in both life and leadership.
“Working with Cami I quickly learned that she wasn’t going to help me identify or achieve my goals by giving me dazzling advice. Instead, Cami encouraged me to reflect and ask the right questions. The kind of questions that help me evaluate my views and perceptions in more meaningful, creative and empowering ways.”
