Higher Ground Wellness
In August, Old Towne welcomed a fresh addition to the community with Higher Ground Wellness, a network of holistic health professionals founded by married couple Andrea and Riley Collins.
“We partner with doctors, specialists, technicians and teachers to bring a wide range of holistic health to clients,” says Andrea. “I gather different experts to share their expertise on how to live a more natural, healthy life.”
Andrea got into the field 12 years ago when she was pregnant with her first child and looking for ways to optimize her health.
“I started to question so much of what was happening in my life and it brought me into this holistic journey where I realized how important it was for me to use what was given to us in nature,” she says. “I became so passionate about wanting to help other people and show them the natural way to do things.”
At Higher Ground Wellness, Andrea describes herself as a collaborator who brings experts together. So far, the business has partners who offer services, including personal training, customized nutrition, sound healing, red light therapy, and more.
“We believe in inspiring people to keep everyone on the path to an optimal lifestyle,” says Andrea. Customers can also access various seminars and workshops, including an intro to sourdough-making course and an emotional freedom art class.
Jenny Ross, a professional chef who brings holistic nutrition expertise to Higher Ground Wellness, recently partnered with Andrea to kick off a 21-day detox program. She also offers personalized weekly meal plans and diagnostic testing, focusing on supporting customers looking to improve their gut health or those with different heart diseases.
“My goal at Higher Ground is to support health and healing through food,” says Ross. “I met Andrea earlier this year, and the second I met her, things just clicked. I’m excited to see how we pair our complementary services to help people heal.”
All the services come together in an office on West Maple Avenue in Old Towne, which Andrea says she has developed to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere for the community.
“There’s an intimate connection that people have in Orange where they really care about everyone’s businesses succeeding,” she says. “This city is so special, and I want everyone to feel welcome at Higher Ground.”
