The Hearts Behind Higher Order
Higher Order was born from our own health journeys navigating pregnancy, chronic illness, and the realization that traditional Western medicine focuses on the lagging indicators of disease rather than the building blocks of true health. As lifelong athletes and parents, we wanted something different for ourselves, our children, and our community.
We learned that real wellbeing requires zooming out: supporting the nervous system, nourishing the body, strengthening emotional resilience, and surrounding yourself with people who elevate you. Healing is not just clinical, it’s relational, communal, and deeply human.
Drawn out of our corporate careers and into a calling we couldn’t ignore, we created Higher Order as a new kind of club: one designed to make wellness social, communal, and energizing. A place where movement, recovery, holistic healing, and community aren’t separate activities, but interconnected rituals that raise your frequency and reshape your health from the inside out.
Our mission is simple: to elevate the health and frequency of our community. And we believe that when people come together with intention, curiosity, and care, wellness becomes not just a personal journey, but a collective one.
