Amy Hopkins was the sole owner of GLOW, which was a business model that had several independent contractors working under the "GLOW umbrella." Clients inquired, booked and paid for services through one central "GLOW channel." GLOW could only thrive in a non-pandemic world where a busy flow of people/bookings was both possible and necessary. While we mourn this and so many losses, we are motivated to adjust in order to keep what is needed in our community going and growing.

RISE is a new home (albeit still at 266 York Street) for private wellness practices/businesses - each running their own business, setting and communicating their own policies, schedules, fees and offerings - under one roof with a collective goal of spreading wellness across our community. The physical studio was renovated in January, 2020, and although unknowingly at the time, now provides a fitting new look and energy.
