A few years later, they were married and soon after they had their first child, Theo in 2015 and their second, Sylvie in 2018.<\/p>\n Now, for over 20 years combined, Trish & Michael have been practicing acupuncture, herbal medicine, meditation & hosting transformational workshops side by side in the Olney-Sandy Spring community, positively impacting hundreds of people with the knowledge & wisdom they have gained from Chinese medicine, holistic health & spiritual practices.<\/p>\n In August of 2017, they finally had the opportunity to create their own space that would be dedicated to all that their life and family had been built upon \u2014 wellness, personal growth & spirituality.<\/p>\n The Well Space<\/strong> was born.<\/p>\n Trish & Michael share the philosophy that healing comes from the inside, out. To heal anything in the body & mind, we must have an awareness of our daily habits, what we eat, how we move & what we think. \u00a0Either our daily habits will support healing, or they will deter it from happening, or make your condition worse.<\/p>\n We are here to teach you how to live well. How to listen to and understand your body. And how your body reacts to your mind.<\/p>\n Once you have this awareness, healing is possible on all levels. You will feel better in your body, you will feel more at ease in your mind, and you will feel more connected to yourself than you ever have before.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_team_member][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" About UsOur Philosophy The Well Space was created out the belief that sustained health & wellness is possible for you no matter your circumstance.
