A team of experts creating better women’s health care, in person and virtually.

Our story

It started with a question.

I stopped being able to accept how far upstream women get failed: how many hands they pass through before anyone actually looks at them.

A clinic for the symptom. A gym for the body. A wellness brand for neither.

I kept thinking about one question: what would it actually take to make good healthcare more accessible to women?

That question became Embody.

I started with movement because I knew I wanted to build community first. A place women would actually want to come to. A place where you could walk in for a class, get to know the people around you, and eventually have a reason to trust us with more.

The studio was never the entire idea. It was the beginning of it.

We’re just getting started

Embody started as a fitness studio in Carolina Beach, North Carolina.

Today we are building toward something much larger. More access. More ways to receive care. More ways to move. More ways to stay connected to the people and providers who know you.
