A Certified BodyTalk Practitioner, Access Consciousness Certified Facilitator, Reiki Master and Reflexologist.

Paula Jurko is the owner and operator of Footprints to Wellness, where she has been serving clients from her Powell, Ohio location for over 16 years. She is known by her clients for her ability to create rapid, lasting internal shifts.

Paula helps high-performing individuals eliminate emotional triggers, break mental loops, and regain clarity — often in just one session. Her work focuses on releasing the underlying emotional charge that keeps people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or reactive, so they can move through life with calm, confidence, and control.

What makes Paula’s work different is not just her training — but her lived experience.

Her journey into this work was born out of navigating complex trauma, including abuse, neglect, codependency, and years of people-pleasing. At 18, she survived a brutal physical attack that deeply impacted her sense of safety, self-worth, and identity. These experiences became the catalyst for a lifelong commitment to healing, self-discovery, and redefining what it means to feel grounded, confident, and whole.

Rather than settling for surface-level change, Paula became a relentless student of transformation — investing extensively in education, modalities, and mentorships to understand how real, lasting change happens. She brings both depth and discernment to her work, continually refining her approach to ensure clients experience meaningful results.

With a unique blend of science-based modalities and intuitive insight, Paula quickly identifies the internal and external blind spots affecting her clients’ relationships, performance, and overall well-being. Clients often describe their experience as a “night and day difference,” leaving sessions feeling calm, clear, and completely different in how they think and respond.

She is known for her straightforward, no-nonsense approach, combined with humor, deep empathy, and highly actionable guidance. Paula creates a supportive and trusting environment where clients feel seen, understood, and empowered to move forward.

Paula is also known as a “resource queen” — if something falls outside her scope, she will help you find the right support, tools, or professionals to get you where you want to go. Her priority is always your outcome, and she actively encourages clients to pursue whatever path will create the greatest results for them.

Her background includes extensive study and practice in complementary and alternative modalities such as Reiki, BodyTalk, Reflexology, Access Consciousness, Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Emotion Code, Integra Protocol, and Applied Kinesiology. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Education with a focus in Exercise Science from The Ohio State University and completed her internship at The Ohio State University Center for Wellness and Prevention.

A former owner of Premier Personal Training Services, Paula has long been committed to helping women build strength, confidence, and self-trust — both physically and mentally.

She continues to pursue advanced trainings and education, driven by a deep belief that growth is ongoing and that even greater levels of transformation are always possible.

Her mission is simple: to help people earn more, work less, and feel better — by clearing what’s in the way.
