About Irene

At Mend Wellness, our journey is guided by a deep belief in holistic healing and personalized care for every individual.

A Journey of Healing and Care

For over 15 years, Mend Wellness has been a place where healing is more than a service—it’s a heartfelt commitment. Founded and led by a dedicated solo practitioner, this story began with a passion for holistic healing and a desire to create a sanctuary where every client feels truly seen, safe, and supported.

My personal journey into acupuncture, massage, and yoga grew from a deep belief that real wellness addresses mind, body, and spirit together. Through years of experience, I’ve witnessed the power of compassionate care and the profound impact of mindful, individualized therapies. The seed for Mend Wellness was planted in 2009 at the Soma Institute of Clinical Massage Therapy, where I completed a year long program with hands on clinical hours. I began my independent massage practice in 2010 and have since been joyfully providing massage. I have worked in small clinics and for major chains, but massage is a passion of mine no matter where I practice. In 2012 I began to expand my skill set by enrolling in NUHS (National University of Health Sciences) for a masters degree in Science: Oriental Medicine. I spent three years devoted to study to become a licensed Acupuncturist, conferred August 2015, and have been in private practice ever since! In 2021 I completed a 200 RYT certification at And Then There Was Well through a six month intensive training. I spent one year teaching yoga classes and incorporating solo sessions into my practice model.

At Mend Wellness, your comfort and empowerment are always centered. Every session is guided by respect and encouragement, allowing you to reconnect with yourself and find balance in a nurturing environment. I am devoted to walking alongside you on your path to wellness, providing knowledge, support, and unwavering care at every step. It is an honor to be a body worker. I believe that every body deserves a compassionate, contemplative, and nurturing touch. I strive to create an atmosphere of safety and shelter for each client to facilitate the body’s awesome ability to MEND!
