Our Story
Sandy and Wendy spent several years working in direct care in Central Ohio and Florida before founding My Holistic Lifestyle LLC in 2024. Prior to this, they worked with various training and provider organizations, gaining valuable insight into the challenges faced by individuals with autism, Down syndrome, and dual diagnoses such as bipolar disorder and depression.
Their professional experience is complemented by personal understanding, as they have seen firsthand how disabilities can impact their own families. This perspective has deepened their awareness of family dynamics and strengthened their ability to de-escalate emotionally charged situations with compassion and skill.
Committed to maintaining a positive work-life balance, setting healthy boundaries, and prioritizing self-care, Sandy and Wendy have chosen this path not only for its professional purpose, but for the meaningful and rewarding impact it brings to the lives of others.
