Kristin Kolesar Fabris D.C.
Dr. Kristin Kolesar Fabris has a dream of reawakening true healthcare in the beautiful state of Rhode Island. She has been a practicing Chiropractic physician and passionate wellness catalyst here since 2007. With a foundation in structural biomechanics, she is dedicated to the harmonic realignment of the human body and spirit. Rooted in the philosophy that health is not the absence of disease but the presence of alignment and wellbeing, she works to activate the body's natural intelligence through incorporating the power of the spinal adjustment with meditation, exercises, nutrition, and lifestyle modification so the patient can not only get out of pain but can thrive in their most vital expression of life. She believes in teaching patients the ability to go inward to receive their care, to go inward to know their own bodies, and to become their own conscious healer from within themselves. She believes this care should be available to everyone, regardless of income or insurance coverage.
Dr. K earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from National University of Health Sciences in Chicago in 2007. She received her undergraduate B.S. degree in Psychology and Biology at Loyola University Maryland in 2004. She has extensive training in diagnosis, x-ray evaluation, physical medicine, and nutrition. She has had further training in women’s health and functional medicine, pediatrics, meditation, and is certified in Webster Technique for pregnant women. She currently serves as Past President on the board of the Chiropractic Society of Rhode Island and continues to work toward changing policies and evolving the way we experience healthcare in our state.
When not practicing the art of adjusting, she enjoys the gifts of goofing around with her daughter Isla and spending time with family and friends. Her other passions outside of her work are music and dancing, poetry, plant medicine, reading and enjoying the ocean!

Danielle Cleary
Danielle received a B.A. in French and Spanish from Harvard in 1998, and then spent much of her free time over the next two decades studying holistic nutrition, the energy of intention, and natural remedies for healing the body. In 2016, Danielle earned her Integrative Nutrition Health Coaching certification.
Over the next few years, Danielle’s skills were tested as she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer in June 2017, just a month after her son was diagnosed with an autoimmune illness called PANDAS that causes brain inflammation and triggers mental health conditions. Danielle and her family weathered the storms and are thriving. Her experience inspired her to dive more deeply into energy medicine and sound healing. She has extensive training in Energy Medicine, completed Reiki Master training in October 2025 through the Sva Ha Academy of Yoga and Sound, and continues to expand her knowledge and experience through monthly classes.
Danielle joined the Be Well team in early 2020. In addition to her role as office manager, Danielle offers private energy healing sessions and group workshops at the Be Well Alchemy space.
Lisa gaumond, LMHC, PhD
Lisa Gaumond, LMHC, PhD is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Doctoral Degree in Psychology from Fielding Graduate University, Santa Barbara CA (2017). Post Graduate training includes EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (2024) and CBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (2016-2018). Additional studies were taken with The Institute of Narrative Psychology, Salem MA (2012, 2015). I am also an Adjunct Professor at the Warren Alpert Medical School at Brown University (2023-present).
A bit about the Narrative Practice:
Narrative Therapy separates the person from the problem by listening for detrimental beliefs & recurrent themes in the story of one's life. This collaborative approach affirmed one's virtues & employs their strengths to repair their relationship with a problem.
A bit about my approach:
My approach to therapy combines Evidenced-Based therapies with Narrative Techniques. While I know about psychology and motivation, you are the expert on you and what may be getting in your way currently. Let’s work together to identify your strengths and how to use them to repair your relationship with a problem. I am happy to customize my practice according to individual needs. My studies in both cognitive and neuroscience also helps explain how our biology impacts our behavior and how our behavior can impact our biological responses; as well as what changes we can make to improve outcomes.

Isabella Maclea
Isabella is a certified yoga teacher with over 20 years of dance experience in ballet, contemporary, modern, and historical styles. While dance has always been her foundation, yoga found her later in life — bringing with it a profound sense of transformation, both emotional and physical. Under the mentorship of beloved teachers at Jala Yoga and Art, Isabella has studied traditional Hindu yoga practices and philosophies. These teachings continue to guide her, even as her love for expressive movement remains ever-present. She created this practice to help others find a deeper sense of body/mind awareness — thoughtfully weaving subtle dance fundamentals into yoga flows that might otherwise feel rigid or static. With a Bachelor's degree in Communications/Media Studies, Isabella plays a key role in helping promote and advertise programs for Rhode Island School of Design’s Continuing Education department — blending her creative spirit with her passion for lifelong learning. Isabella brings yoga, dance, and breathe into her practice, cultivating ultimate freedom for all beings. She can't wait to share the space with you.
