About Lacey Tisch

Lacey was born with a rare congenital syndrome that causes a slew of medical setbacks, some of which continue to affect her health today. Throughout the years, she received many external treatments. Seven years ago, she began dealing with medical PTSD...a result of years of being poked and prodded by doctors to “fix” her.

The medical PTSD was exacerbated by being unhappy in her job and actively engaging in her alcoholism. She could not figure out a way forward. After getting sober, Lacey wanted to find remedies that didn’t require taking medication or having procedures. She developed a major interest in exploring wellness. She would always ask Lauren and other friends, “who do you go to for this?”, “what products do you use?”, and “where can I find XYZ?” As a native New Yorker, she knew these answers would mean spending a lot of time traveling throughout the city in search of these highly sought-after practitioners and wellness techniques. This felt stressful in and of itself. Thus, she wanted to provide a space where customers could come to access all their wellness needs under one roof.

Lacey is proud to live a sober life and resides on the Upper East Side with her sons Lucas and Aby, husband Jonathan, and her two dogs Maggie and Ollie.

About Lauren Zucker

Lauren always thought her life would be lived linearly, that things would go according to a certain plan that included work, marriage, and kids.

And then, life happened. Several people close to her were struggling with addiction and were in denial about it. She was also going through a painful divorce. After years of trying to ‘fix’ and help others, she realized, ultimately, she could only change herself. She made the decision to fully commit to her own path of healing. This sparked curiosity about all things self-development, healing, and wellness. She met with practitioners and self-discovery experts all over the world in search of peace and happiness, reaching the conclusion that a sense of community and connecting with like-minded people was the most integral part of her healing journey.

In a city where everything is at your fingertips, why was self-care so difficult to experience in one place? This gave her the idea to create a brand where the best healers, practitioners, and brands could exist under a single roof, creating a type of community she had once searched for. She is excited to be helping people connect with themselves and others through a mind, body, and soul connection.
