co-tend /koh-TEND/
verb
to work independently, together.
Why co-tend?
“Contend” means to compete or struggle against. Take out the “n” and you get “co-tend”: to care for alongside.
The wellness world can make independent instructors feel like they’re competing for the same students, the same clients, the same room.
co-tend is a reminder that there’s enough for everyone, and that we’re independent but never alone.
Amelia Sweet
co-tend founder
After quitting my corporate career of nearly a decade in 2025 to teach fitness full-time, I started to look around and wonder - how could more people make this career an option?
My passion is making sure you feel supported in every professional endeavor you take. co-tend is a project that has been on my mind for a long time, and I’m excited to build it with you.
Beyond co-tend, you can find me teaching yoga at Amelia on the Mat
