Wake The Trades

What Is Wake the Trades?

Wake the Trades is a movement and opportunity designed to empower construction professionals to reconnect with their inner strength and reclaim control over their lives. In an industry where stress, overwork, and unhealthy patterns often dominate, Wake the Trades is here to guide you in healing emotionally, mentally, and physically. It's about breaking the old cycles that keep you stuck, and creating new habits and behaviors that lead to a more conscious, fulfilling, and healthy life.

Why Wake the Trades?

The construction industry thrives on hard work and resilience, but this often comes at the expense of well-being. Stress, burnout, substance abuse, and disconnection from health and relationships are all too common, leaving many feeling isolated with few resources or community support.

Wake the Trades is here to change that. The world is calling for more connection, community, and a new way of living. We believe that our attention and energy have been focused on the wrong things for too long. By bringing more intention, self-awareness, and balance into your daily life, you can create a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling future. This movement empowers you to break the patterns that hold you back and lead positive change—not just for yourself, but for your colleagues, community, and at home.

Start today and lead the way for a healthier, more conscious, and fulfilled construction industry!

Meet - Jeff Tessier

I'm a Certified Life Coach, Hypnotherapist, and Meditation Teacher, with over two decades of personal and professional experience in both the trades and life transformation. My journey hasn’t been easy—The first decade of my career left me feeling disconnected and dissatisfied with both my work and myself. Every day, I came home exhausted, numb to the emotions I couldn’t express or understand, seeking ways to escape the frustration and emptiness I felt.

Then, in 2018, a life-changing accident became my wake-up call. It forced me to confront my life head-on and make the decision to turn it around for good. I sought education and training in life coaching, hypnotherapy, and meditation, which became the foundation of my transformation. I realized that the same dedication I had applied to my work in construction could be applied to rebuilding my life—and it worked. I overcame depression, substance abuse, and a lack of purpose, and built a business dedicated to helping others do the same.

Now, I’m on a mission to help transform the construction industry, bringing much-needed awareness and support to the mental, emotional, and physical well-being of the people who work in it. I know firsthand the challenges that come with this demanding profession—the long hours, the stress, the feeling of isolation. But I also know that change is possible.

Through Wake the Trades, I’m committed to guiding construction professionals to heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves and purpose. If we come together, we can create a movement that not only improves the quality of life for individuals but uplifts the entire industry. A better life and career are within reach, and I’m here to help you find it.
