Our Story
How We Got HERE
How we started:
In 2003, our founder, Michelle Williams (then George) was working as an executive sales director for a multi-state fitness company in New England area. She had an idea to do coaching for parents and individuals looking for health information. She met a member of the club who asked her what she really wanted to do to which she responded ‘I want to open a wellness company where we can provide health and parenting information to employees. That member helped her secure an initial investment for her first attempt at what is today Wishing Well Works.
Michelle decided that 2004 wasn’t the year for this venture after 1 year of trying to make the idea stick and she went to work at a Boston-based hospital providing health education for the employees. A perfect fit! This was exactly what she wanted to do! After a few months, their health insurance broker invited her to start teaching for their other clients and the wellness concept came into play again.
After a full year of not making traction and this member’s husbands’ passing, they parted ways. Michelle continued to build her own personal presentations over the years until she was ready to open Wishing Well Works. Over the first 8 years, she worked the business part-time until she could go full time in 2017.
By 2019, she was able to add other team members that have been valuable to the growth of the overall business.
