Kristin Kolesar Fabris D.C.
As a kid, Dr. K sat in school wondering why no one was discussing what we are all doing here and what connects our energy to our physical anatomy. She never found that class, so she built a business around it, bridging ancient wisdom with modern medicine to reawaken the purpose of true healthcare:
to walk each other into our fullest expression of life.
She's been a practicing chiropractic physician in RI and a self-alignment catalyst since 2007, working from a foundation in structural biomechanics alongside a lifelong pull toward the exploration of consciousness. She sees the spine as part of our physical and energetic channel that when clear can allow for that expression and exploration. When we remember our wholeness as our own healers, we find our way to the tools that actually serve us, tools that MUST be available to everyone. So began Be Well : a community collaboration dedicated to
self-alignment, the exploration of consciousness, and the remembrance of belonging.
Dr. K earned her Doctorate of Chiropractic from National University of Health Sciences in Chicago (2007), and her B.S. in Psychology and Biology from Loyola University Maryland (2004). She is further trained in women's health, functional medicine, and pediatrics, and is certified in the Webster Technique for pregnancy. She serves as Past President on the board of the Chiropractic Society of RI, working to change policy toward more empowered systems.
She resides by the sea with her daughter, Isla, and their puppy, Nala.
Eleanor L. Stump D.C.
Dr. Eleanor L. Stump received her Doctorate of Chiropractic cum laude from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa in 1976. She recently relocated from Delaware to Rhode Island in 2019.
Throughout her career on the eastern shore of Delaware, Dr. Stump was elected Chiropractor of the Year in 1985 and was the first woman to be appointed to the Delaware Board of Examiners.
She also was the recipient of the Palmer College Mabel Palmer Award “Woman Doctor of the Year” in 2016. In order to more holistically serve her patients, she received her acupuncture accreditation from Parker College of Chiropractic.
She was the first American woman to receive a Blackbelt in Shorinji Kempo and uses these eastern philosophies in guiding her patients to a more integrative health approach. She is also a certified yoga instructor and has been teaching Hatha yoga for over 40 years. She has given many lectures to the community and professionally on wellness, women’s health, pain management and complementary therapies.
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

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 affirms one's virtues and 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 help explain how biology impacts behavior and how behavior can impact biological responses; as well as what changes can be made 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.

Jem wilds
Jem is a licensed massage therapist, energy healer, and intuitive with 19 years of experience in nervous system-centered care. Her work blends skilled bodywork, somatic awareness, and subtle energetic attunement to support deep release and realignment - physically, emotionally, and energetically. Whether she’s working with chronic pain, stored stress, or the unspoken heaviness that the body holds, Jem meets each client with presence, pressure, and deep listening.
She’s known for her grounded touch, calming presence, and ability to make people feel safe enough to exhale. Her sessions are dynamic, intentional, and never one-size-fits-all. Jem draws from years of hands-on expertise while weaving in layers of intuitive guidance, quantum reiki, and nervous system magic. Clients often describe her work as “otherworldly,” “soothing but deep,” and “like being put back together.”
Outside the treatment room, Jem is a barefoot wanderer, human design nerd, quantum traveler. She believes healing isn’t something to force- it’s something we create space for. And when the body feels safe, everything begins to shift.
