    Ubuntu, I am because we are.Mudita, the joy felt for another person's success.It all started with a dream and a group of friends. Stephanie Caves, Sarah Keyeski, Carla Wiessing, and Stephanie Manley-Kessenich created what will be Willow Tree Wellness Cooperative. They will each take a hand in building the newest business in Lodi. Willow Tree Wellness will offer community members a chance to fill their cup with self-care. These women are strong and intelligent and walk us through the challenges of not only opening a new business, but renovating an old building to its glory. More than that these women each have a desire to help others, each in their own form. This dream has been marinating for each of them, proving entrepreneurship can strike when the moment is right! The idea of Willow Tree Wellness feels like a deep breath and release after a long day. There is no better way to serve your people. This is a business forged in love and appreciation. "There is incredible value of being of service to others." -Elizabeth Berg

Tegan gives examples of what it has looked like for her, and why (the oh so scary) feminism should be embraced by all! Your glow doesn't diminish mine! Let's glow and grow together!
