our Mission

We started Upwellery because what we needed
to grow our wellness business didn’t exist.

The prices are sky-high, which makes marketing agencies accessible to a select few, communication is unreliable, and mass market strategies just aren't cutting it. So we rebuilt the experience from the ground up and created a marketing agency focused on fast-tracking your growth without the cost and commitment of hiring full-time. Here's how we get there.

Simple Pricing

Enjoy total peace of mind. Never ask for a quote again. With our simple flat-rate pricing model, you'll always have access to your marketing strategist and designer. Plus, if you ever want to take a break or stop using our services, it's totally up to you. We'll work with you to meet your changing needs.

Make it personal

We view the companies we collaborate with as partners, and referring to them as "clients" seems inadequate. We believe that trust and transparency lead to transformation. With this in mind, we have developed a secure portal that allows you to tailor your experience, keep track of the progress of your project, and maintain communication with us.

Proven Track Record

We've got your back. Twenty years of industry experience and hundreds of lives transformed. There's a reason health and wellness brands trust us to take their business to the next level.

Make it fast

You will have a dedicated marketing strategist and designer to collaborate on all your projects. They'll get to know your style and expectations and deliver each project one by one with the care and attention it deserves.

Founding Story

I'm often asked - How did I get started in all of this?

I started in healthcare on the front lines of a hospital. I then went on to work as a behavioral case manager before providing therapy as a clinician and healthcare consultant with a national mental health agency. While doing that for 14 years, I pursued an education in alternative medicine and started a private practice as a Homeopath and Holistic Nutritionist. I ventured deeper into entrepreneurship and began international consulting for wellness practitioners and health centers. In 2012, I founded my first start-up triple bottom line company and passion project - I Am Raw, a whole food heaven mobile food service. I profitably exited in 5 years. Then, with a laptop and a dream, I'm proud to have created a conscious digital destination that helps wellness practitioners build a business that supports living your best life—and living it well.

Marketing is letting the people who need you the most -  know that you exist. If they don't know you're out there, there's no way for you to solve their problems or fulfill their needs.

I used to be so confused about what goes into developing and executing a marketing and content plan. Since working with Gabrielle I have so much more clarity about the ins and outs of marketing and business growth strategies, her training was awesome and best of all I now have the resilience and confidence to level up.
