Refill your well
Risewell was born out of the need for an individualized therapy experience - with a focus on authenticity, comfort and exceptional care.
Our Founder’s Story
Risewell is the realization of my personal journey toward wellness. Though there's no defined starting point, a significant moment etched in my memory was the sudden, tragic loss of my boyfriend in a motorcycle accident. In the months and years following this devastating loss, I often felt a profound sense of isolation, believing that no one truly understood the depth of my pain. As life progressed, I gradually began to heal, discovering solace and purpose in the field of psychology. This marked the beginning of my calling—to stand by individuals in their moments of pain, guiding them through struggles and celebrating their growth.
My journey continued, marked by not only loss but also moments of immense joy and love, especially when I met my now-husband. The trajectory of my life took a new turn with the advent of motherhood, bringing both elation and trepidation as I learned I was expecting twins. To this day, my journey is ongoing—woven with threads of struggle, loss, pain, and moments of immense joy and growth.
Risewell is also about embracing our differences, and that's something that hits close to home for me. My personal relationships and experiences have instilled a strong value for inclusion, respect and kindness for folks who might be seen as "different." My family, friends, and now, our team at Risewell, represent a tapestry of diverse minds. Risewell is a place where we wholeheartedly celebrate uniqueness. Inclusion isn't just a value we preach—it's a daily commitment, because we believe everyone deserves to belong.
