Our Journey

How The Well For Women Began

The Well was founded by Julie after her private practice, Westville Massage: Wellness for Women, became overwhelmed with demand. It quickly became apparent that the women of New Haven, especially those experiencing pregnancy, needed more access to safe, specialized massage therapy.

During the search for a new location, Julie found a space much larger than expected. Despite its size, she saw its potential and reshaped her business plan to accommodate this new vision. After a year of meticulous planning, and completing the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Business Program, The Well For Women opened its doors in 2019.

Why “The Well”? The Inspiration Behind Our Name 

The name “The Well” was born out of a brainstorming session designed to capture the core of our mission. Julie was inspired by the rejuvenating power of water, the ancient tradition of women gathering at wells, and the sacred connection to amniotic fluid. All these elements came together to form “The Well For Women.”

Our mission is simple: to care for each other and our clients with kindness and compassion through the healing power of massage.

I was fortunate to get an appointment for a massage with the owner, Julie. The space is beautiful and relaxing (must make time to curl up in the pillow fort next time!) Staff were very nice and welcoming. One of the best massages I’ve ever had. I will definitely be back!
