Biography
Dr. Annie Wildermuth, PhD, PA-C, RD, ACC, is a certified Leadership and Performance Coach who works with a wide variety of individuals seeking clarity, confidence, and intentional growth. Her clients include healthcare providers, academic leaders, military officers and veterans, small business owners, athletes, and sports executives—though her approach is tailored to meet anyone navigating complexity, leadership, or high-performance environments.
Annie’s coaching is grounded in deep listening, directness, and compassion. She’s known for “shining the light on the unseen parts of the iceberg”—helping clients explore what lies beneath their challenges so they can make practical, informed, and authentic choices. A skilled thought partner, she supports clients in navigating risk, making high-stakes decisions, and moving forward with purpose and integrity.
Trained and certified through Brown University’s Leadership and Performance Coaching program, Annie combines her coaching with a rich professional background. She is an Associate Professor and former Assistant Dean with deep experience in higher education leadership, research, curriculum design, and admissions strategy. Her decades-long work in healthcare—as an emergency medicine Physician Assistant and Registered Dietitian—has given her an unshakable understanding of what it means to lead under pressure.
Annie is also a trained facilitator and trusted education consultant, sought after for her expertise in leadership development, holistic admissions, and medical education. She is nationally recognised for her career navigation workshops, which guide professionals throughout career and financial life stages. She regularly delivers keynote addresses, graduation speeches, and motivational talks for national organisations, universities, and leadership groups. Whether on stage or in a coaching session, she brings energy, insight, and a deep respect for the personal and professional journeys of others.
Annie’s approach is influenced by her own lifelong relationship with performance and resilience. She is a former NCAA Division I rower, world champion equestrian, and former student manager for the University of Connecticut Women’s Basketball Team. Today, she channels that same drive into Ironman triathlons, endurance running, and a thriving coaching practice. She is a dedicated wife and stepmom, daughter, friend, and colleague.
At her core, Annie helps people lead and live with more truth, clarity, and connection to themselves, their health, and to what matters most.
