Destination Wellness Of Licking County

Destination Wellness Of Licking County Today in the United States we operate on the sick care system, NOT the healthcare system. We wait until we become ill before ‘the system’ kicks into action.

As a RN with a bachelors in health and sciences I encounter the disastrous outcomes of this model on a daily basis. We are over diagnosed, prescribed, over fed, worked and stressed. We are bombarded with gimmicks and quick fixes in our daily lives that result in poor outcomes and are only beneficial to the man. It is my belief we need more health care, we need WELLNESS! We need movement, laughter,

community, mentors, friendships, natural remedies and we need to be armed with the correct tools and education on nutrition & disease. With that being said…

I would like to formally announce that with the collaboration of multiple beautiful souls, I welcome you to DESTINATION WELLNESS OF LICKING COUNTY. Licking county's women’s fitness & wellness center. A space undiscovered until now, a one stop shop. An exclusive sanctuary full of encouragement, safety and support for TRUE holistic health. We will be offering dance classes for youth and adults, group fitness classes including and not limited to;

REFIT, bungee, step, dance fitness, yoga, mat Pilates, reformer Pilates, barre’, personal training sessions, private yoga sessions, Yoga for youth, natural nails mani/pedi services, spray tanning services, tanning, infrared sauna, red light therapy, Botox, fillers, peels, microneedling, & custom-made specialty jewelry retail. Along with nearly monthly workshops on topics such as domestic abuse awareness and self-defense, our women in history and what we can do now to make an impact on our community, a yearly 5k to raise money for school supplies for the underprivileged youth of Licking county, education on cancers, diabetes, and healthy cooking workshops on site!



I promise to the women of our society a clean, safe, comfortable environment where we practice what we preach. A true DESTINATION OF WELLNESS.

💛 Three Years of Destination Wellness: Celebrating Leahna Banks 💛

There are some people who become part of your business… and then there are people who become part of its heart. She is absolutely one of those people.

Leahna Banks was supporting me before Destination Wellness ever opened its doors. She was a client of mine through multiple gyms, always showing up with that contagious laugh, her humor, and the kind of support that makes you believe a little harder in what you’re building.

Three years later, she is still here. ❤️

And what makes that even more special is that she has a full-time career outside of Destination Wellness. She doesn’t have to give this place the time, energy and love that she does. She chooses to.

And when I say she goes above and beyond, I mean it.

She knows our ladies by name. She welcomes new faces like they’ve been here forever. She gives tours. She jumps in wherever she’s needed. She supports not only me, but every person and every business under our roof.

And Lord knows, you can’t take this woman ANYWHERE without her telling somebody about Destination Wellness. 😂 Restaurants, vacations, retreats… wherever she goes, she’s spreading the good word and probably recruiting somebody before we leave. 😂❤️

But beyond everything she does for the business, Leahna has been a true friend to me.

She is a light. She is loyal. She is giving. She is hilarious. Her laugh is absolutely contagious, and I genuinely don’t know if I’ve ever seen this woman in a bad mood. She has a way of making people feel comfortable, included and cared about—and that is exactly what Destination Wellness was created to be.

Sometimes the people who quietly give the most don’t receive nearly enough recognition for it.

So today, Leahna, I want you to hear it.

You are seen.
You are appreciated.
You are incredibly important to Destination Wellness.
And most importantly, you are so very loved. ❤️

Thank you for believing in me before there was even a Destination Wellness to believe in. Thank you for pouring into this dream, into our women, and into me for all these years.

Destination Wellness is better because Leahna is in it.

Love you, lady. Here’s to many more years of that laugh filling these walls. 🥂💛

Three years ago today, we opened our doors with just five classes. 💜 I taught three of them, Kieleah Workman brought the energy with Cardio Drumming, and Tonya Mossman took us flying with Bungee Fitness.

Three years later, these incredible women are still part of Destination Wellness. 🥹

✨ THREE YEARS. ✨

Three years ago today, I opened the doors to Destination Wellness with a vision, a whole lot of faith, and absolutely no idea just how far this little dream would go.

When we opened, our schedule had only a handful of classes each day (5 lol). I didn’t have the money to hire a big staff, so I did what you do when you believe in something enough — I worked.

At one point, I was personally teaching somewhere around 140 classes a month. Early mornings. Evenings. Weekends. Whatever it took.

Because I knew what I wanted to create.

After 15+ years in the fitness industry, I had been in the traditional gyms. I had taught the classes. I had trained clients. And I kept feeling like something was missing.

Women needed more than a place to work out.

We needed a place that felt like OURS.

A place where the woman walking through the door at 25 felt just as welcome as the woman walking in at 65.

Where your size didn’t matter.
Your fitness level didn’t matter.
Whether you had ever worked out a day in your life didn’t matter.

You walked in, and somebody knew your name.

You belonged.

Because somewhere between careers, raising families, relationships, taking care of everyone else and trying to squeeze in 30 minutes on a treadmill… I think a lot of women lost something they didn’t even realize they were missing:

COMMUNITY. ❤️

And THAT became Destination Wellness.

Today, we offer nearly 300 classes every month.

Instead of teaching 140 classes myself, I now teach about 20 — not because I have to, but because I still absolutely love being on that floor with you.

We have approximately 17 incredible female fitness professionals and 13 women-owned businesses operating within Destination Wellness.

What started as my dream became our village.

And that may be what I’m most proud of.

From the very beginning, I sat our team down and told them what this space would be: welcoming, supportive, encouraging and safe. Negativity, competition between women, cliques and tearing one another down would never have a home here.

Three years later, that standard still stands.

Protect the energy. Protect the women. Protect the mission.

And it works.

Destination Wellness isn’t for everyone — and it doesn’t need to be.

But for the woman who walks through those doors and realizes, “These are my people”…

That’s who we built it for.

I’ve received letters, cards, emails, phone calls and messages from women telling me Destination Wellness changed their lives. And many times, it wasn’t just because they lost weight or became stronger.

They found friends.
They found confidence.
They found accountability.
They found somewhere to go.
They found people who noticed when they weren’t there.
They found purpose.
They found themselves again.

And somewhere along the way, Destination Wellness changed my life too.

I’m incredibly proud of the systems we’ve built and the fact that this business no longer depends on one woman working herself into the ground to survive. 😂

It has become something so much bigger than me.

We give back. We host free community events. We fundraise. We celebrate our members and our team. We travel together. We laugh together. We sweat together. We show up for one another.

Because wellness isn’t just what happens to your body.

It’s connection.
It’s purpose.
It’s giving.
It’s belonging.
It’s LIFE.

My greatest hope is that Destination Wellness becomes part of my legacy and far outlives me.

To every trainer who has poured herself into this place…

Every woman-owned business that trusted my vision…

Every woman who bought a membership, booked a service, attended a class, came to an event, traveled on a retreat, brought a friend, shared a post or simply walked through our doors…

YOU built this with me.

Three years ago, I had a dream.

Today, I get to stand inside of it. 🥹❤️

Happy 3rd Birthday, Destination Wellness.

We are just getting started.

To Kieleah Workman and Kelli Workman

I’ve been thinking about how to even put into words what the two of you mean to me and to Destination Wellness. ❤️

You were there before there was a building. Before there were hundreds of women walking through our doors. Before the retreats, the events, the growth, and everything Destination Wellness has become.

I will never forget interviewing you in my garage at my house. 😂 I didn’t even have a location yet. I had a vision, a dream, everything written down on paper, and this huge belief in what Destination Wellness could become. And you believed in it too. You believed in me before there was even much to see.

And now here we are, three years later.

For THREE YEARS we have worked side by side, and when I really stop and think about that, I honestly cannot think of a single time that we haven’t just… worked. We haven’t missed a beat. There hasn’t been drama, questioning intentions, wondering if I could trust you, or worrying whether you would show up. You just have. Every single time.

That is so incredibly rare.

Your character is unmatched. Your honesty, loyalty, reliability, work ethic, and the way you treat people have been consistent from day one. You are genuinely one of the easiest people I have ever worked with. You don’t just say you support something—you show it in your actions over and over again.

And most importantly, you love and support our women. You truly embody what Destination Wellness was created to be. You protect the environment we’ve built, you contribute to it, and you make the women around you feel supported and welcomed.

Watching you grow alongside Destination Wellness and become a business owner yourself with Mind, Body & Soul Shake Shop has made me so proud. You aren’t simply someone who works inside Destination Wellness anymore. You are woven into the story and the foundation of it.

Destination Wellness truly would not be the same without you.

And to your wife—you deserve just as much appreciation. ❤️ The way you support her, support me, support Destination Wellness, and jump in to help whenever we need you never goes unnoticed. You have been in our corner through all of it, and this retreat was yet another example of that.

You both helped me TREMENDOUSLY. And there is something incredibly freeing about having people beside you who you trust so completely that you don’t have to second-guess anything. I know your hearts. I know your character. I know if you say you’ve got something, you’ve got it.

That kind of trust is priceless to me.

Some people come into your life for a season, and some people become part of your foundation.

You two are part of the foundation.

Thank you for believing in a dream that started on paper in my garage. Thank you for standing beside me for three years without missing a beat. Thank you for loving our ladies. Thank you for protecting what Destination Wellness stands for. Thank you for being dependable, honest, loyal, and just GOOD people.

And thank you for being in my circle and in my corner through all of it.

I love you both and appreciate you more than I probably ever say.

From that garage interview to where we are today… 🥹❤️ What a freaking journey.

And we are nowhere near done. ❤️
