Empowering Women Veterans & Military Sexual Trauma Survivors

Fidelity Wellness Corp, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Southwest Florida, is dedicated to supporting women veterans and survivors of sexual assault on their transformative paths towards self-actualization and living purpose-filled lives. Our holistic approach is intricately modeled on Maslow's hierarchy of needs, ensuring that we anticipate and fulfill our clients' requirements with profound compassion and loving kindness. We strive to Honor, Heal, Empower, and Unite each Warrior Woman we come in contact with. 

 Fidelity Wellness exists to break the cycles of trauma and suffering endured by women veterans and survivors of sexual assault. Our founder and CEO, Stephanie Petersen, a USMC combat veteran and survivor herself, understands the profound impact of military sexual assault firsthand.  After experiencing assault and choosing not to report it, Stephanie grappled with decades of severe mental illness and suicidality, witnessing how her trauma reverberated through her family, perpetuating generational pain. 

Determined to create change, Fidelity Wellness emerged as a beacon of hope—a solution born from Stephanie's journey towards healing. 

Our organization addresses the gaps Stephanie encountered on her path (as well as the gaps her fellow sisters experienced) offering comprehensive support to empower individuals and families, and ultimately, to end the replication of trauma across generations.
