A painful ski accident left a former investment banker turning to acupuncture—and her immediate relief inspired an idea for a business. With a partner who already provided acupuncture to celebrities, Michelle Larivee envisioned a new kind of acupuncture service—and co-founded WTHN—ancient healing for modern life with acupuncture and organic herbs. Including Sound Therapy, heated tables, a wellness lounge and even vanity areas, WTHN is a thoughtfully designed experience offering affordable pampering and healing aimed at millennials who are focused on wellness. Michelle joins Socialfly Co-Founder Courtney Spritzer in the MouthMedia Network studio for a conversation about building her business and career, and describes her journey to success. Plus, a surprise!
