Something is shifting in the way wellness is practiced, and The Wellness Grove, a forthcoming co-working space in Billings, Montana, is positioning itself at the nexus of that shift, attempting to reorganize it from the inside out. Co-founders Clementine Lindley and Alicia Weaver, who also ran Limber Tree Yoga, are building the space by bringing practitioners together into a single, thoughtfully designed environment to bolster collaboration and continuous care, allowing healing to unfold in proximity.
The facility will encompass massage therapists, talk therapists, Reiki practitioners, yoga instructors, sound healers, and personal trainers who will work side by side, sharing space, and more importantly, a sense of purpose.
“Our tagline is ‘where healing takes root.’ And that’s really what this is about, creating a place where healing of the mind, body, and soul can happen all at once,” Lindley explains.
The idea emerged from lived experience, rooted in Lindley’s background, which spans mental health advocacy, education, and nonprofit management. She points out how those disciplines sharpened her understanding of how fragmented care systems can be.
During the pandemic, a series of unexplained health scares pushed her into a search for solutions. Conventional medical visits, she notes, yielded few answers. Conversely, as she tried alternative modalities, such as breathwork, massage, and energy healing, she uncovered something different.
“All of a sudden, I would feel better,” she recalls. “It became really profound to me that I wasn’t necessarily sick. I just wasn’t processing everything happening around me.” Upon realizing that, she reframed wellness as something cumulative rather than compartmentalized. Her findings helped her conclude that emotional strain, physical tension, and mental fatigue were not separate problems. They were interconnected signals.
Weaver, a yoga practitioner and spinal flow specialist, brought further depth to that insight. Her work focuses on the nervous system and the body’s capacity to release stored stress. “We heal the biggest when we’re witnessed in it. That collective space creates something you can’t replicate alone,” she posits.
Together, they began to outline a model that could embody Lindley’s operational clarity and Weaver’s embodied practice. Ultimately, that led to a hybrid model that the duo notes functions as a business incubator on one end, and a healing environment on the other.
At The Wellness Grove, Lindley stresses that every design choice serves a deeper intention. According to her, the layout flows from a fitness studio dedicated to movement-based practices into a sound sanctuary, where vaulted ceilings are designed to make the vibrations of Tibetan bowls travel and resonate with ease.
Furthermore, the facility also has two versatile therapeutic rooms to host everything from counseling to bodywork, while a shared co-working space area can provide practitioners a quiet space to navigate the administrative side of their work.
Lindley highlights that facility access operates through a tiered subscription model. Entry-level memberships will provide limited hours in the space, while advanced tiers will offer unlimited use and deeper integration into the community. Weaver highlights that every detail, from Wi-Fi and utilities to equipment like yoga mats and resistance bands, is included. “You shouldn’t have to juggle ten different expenses just to start your practice. You should be able to show up and do your work.” Lindley says.
For the duo, it was important to reduce the barriers to entry, especially for practitioners. Weaver points to individuals who often hesitate to begin, including new graduates, caregivers, and individuals rebuilding after life disruptions. “It’s that person who wants to start something but feels shame around it,” she says. “We can remove that.”
Community forms the bedrock at The Wellness Grove, informing every decision. Lindley explains that monthly gatherings within the facility will entail discussions on education, business workshops, tax guidance, and collaborative sessions that help practitioners sustain themselves long term. She also envisions a network of Wellness Grove locations, scalable across cities, built on a franchise or consulting model.
Her work also expands into cultural dialogue through her series, Are You F*cking Kidding Me?!, a thoughtful parenting podcast, that confronts the emotional realities of modern family life with candor and wit.
Rooted in her background in mental health advocacy and education, the podcast explores everything from emotional regulation to the neuroscience behind childhood behavior, often challenging the pressure parents place on themselves to be flawless. That same philosophy carries into her broader initiatives, where she advocates for normalizing conversations around anxiety, neurodivergence, and everyday stress.
Inclusivity is built into the foundation at The Wellness Grove. The space is designed to be ADA accessible, in physical design and beyond. “When we say everybody, we mean it,” Lindley explains. “Different abilities, different experiences, everyone deserves a place to heal.”
As The Wellness Grove arrives with momentum, developed within a short timeframe, the founders frame the growth as an idea gaining weight and speed as it moves forward. More importantly, it exists to embody inspiration, as a catalyst to launch a business, to realize healing is within reach, and to function as a shared ecosystem, working with purpose. Lindley adds, “No one can be successful in anything without a community. That’s where everything starts. That’s where everything grows.”
