11 HEALTH AND WELLNESS BUSINESSES TO KNOW AND SUPPORT



By Erin Daniels, The KNOW Women KNOW Women is far from short of high-achieving women that are dominating in the Health and Wellness industry. According to Forbes, last year, women made up 65% of all workers in the field. However, this isn’t equally represented in leadership with only about 50% of leadership roles in the health and wellness industry being held by women. One cause of this may be that “women-led businesses get disproportionately less funding than businesses that have a male colleague at the helm”. Without equal access to the same resources as men, women are often having to put up twice the fight for the same outcome. Nonetheless, women-owned health and wellness businesses are growing and are continuing to skyrocket. With women addressing issues not before spoken about and fighting for more accessibility and community in their industry, they are redefining health and wellness for the better. This October, we want to recognize and acknowledge the women dominating throughout this large industry. From holistic spiritual healers to physical therapists, and more, we are shining a light on women-owned health and wellness brands and businesses to KNOW and support now and always.
