Better outcomes,
engineered together.
Wellbeing Engineering™ is the idea behind both my professional and personal services: we are all engineers in our daily lives, making decisions inside the opportunities and constraints we face. Systems thinking makes those decisions more intentional.

About
Taletha Derrington
Taletha Derrington is the founder of Wellbeing Engineering™, a systems-based approach rooted in the idea that lasting impact requires understanding how human, organizational, social, and environmental systems interact to shape wellbeing.
Drawing on nearly three decades of experience spanning research, systems design, and implementation, her work helps organizations and individuals create thoughtful, evidence-informed solutions that strengthen people, communities, and the environments they depend on.
Wellbeing Engineering is founded on a simple principle: better outcomes are possible when we design solutions with awareness of the broader systems influencing success. On the Coastside that shows up in smaller ways too — a trail told through its own history, a cat who gets her medication on time, a kitchen that throws away less.
Approach
The same thinking, closer to home
Trails, households, nervous cats, ceremonies on the sand. However different the job looks, it starts in the same place: with what’s actually in front of you.
I follow your lead
Your routine, your pace, your words. I’ll work with what you already do rather than hand you somebody else’s plan, and I’ll say so plainly when something falls outside what I can do well.
Local to this coast
Pacifica to Pescadero. I know the trails, the tides, the microclimates, and the histories attached to them, because I live here and I’m out in it most weeks.
Systems, not single fixes
One change rarely stands alone. Your week, your household, and your animals all pull on each other, so we plan around the connections and what you change survives the first difficult day.
Contact
Let’s figure out what you need.
Contact me for a free 30-minute conversation about an adventure you want to take, care your animals need, a sustainability goal, or a ceremony you are planning. We’ll start where you are and work out what kind of support makes sense.
