We are new to Ada and are eager to meet the neighbors. We regularly host a neighbor near our front desk for our "In Your Neighborhood Program." In January, we are happy to get to know Lifeologie of Grand Rapids - 7195 Thornapple River Dr SE STE C, Ada, MI 49301. We sat down with co-owners Dana and Marissa to talk about their business, and getting your mojo back.
