75. Rebecca Parekh & Kane Sarhan — The Birth of a Paradigm Shifting Wellness Business
Sponsored by Magleby Development‘s Velvaere Park City.
Join us today on Global Wellness Conversations as we sit down with two of THE WELL’s three founders, Rebecca Parekh and Kane Sarhan, who were also keynote speakers at the 2023 Global Wellness Summit (GWS) Wellness Real Estate Symposium in New York City. They’ll explain how their backgrounds in finance and hospitality informed the creation of this paradigm-shifting wellness hub that seamlessly combines ancient healing methods with modern medicine to provide whole-person care. You’ll hear how their flexibility and positivity helped them survive the reality of opening their flagship 13,000 square foot New York location a few months before the pandemic, and how their focus on continuing to provide best-in-class wellness has resulted in partnering with industry leaders to create brand extensions in hotels and multi-use facilities in Connecticut, Costa Rica and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
THE WELL pioneers a unique blend of Eastern and Western medical philosophies, offering advanced medical and technological solutions alongside time-tested practices in Ayurveda and Chinese medicine. Their comprehensive offerings include an organic food restaurant, a spa, Chinese medicine and acupuncture, physical therapy, energy work, movement & meditation classes and more.
Find out how a multi-faceted approach to wellness that address issues like sleep, stress, anxiety, and gut health has attracted a broad demographic of people at various stages of their wellness journey. They’ve even developed their own proprietary software, THE WELL OS, to track and monitor the health journeys of their guests. This digital tool enables integrated services at different locations, more efficient practitioner communication and perhaps most importantly, the ability to provide users and the industry with valuable health reports and data.
Kane and Rebecca highlight the importance of attracting and maintaining top-tier practitioners. Their commitment to offering competitive salaries, benefits, and even equity for early employees, is a real stand out in the wellness industry. Their philosophy of investing in people, spaces, and technology, and building a strong company culture sets a standard for others to follow.
THE WELL’s mission is to make wellness a part of everyone’s daily life. With a strong emphasis on resilience, adaptability, and collaboration THE WELL hopes to build a world where everyone can feel better. The founders share their dedication to local sourcing, the importance of trust, respect and clear communication in partnerships, and their willingness to support other businesses in the wellness industry.
