What is Hyer Wellness?
Hyer Wellness is your ideal state of wellbeing - however you define it. It’s the version of your life where you feel aligned, fulfilled, and empowered in your relationships, habits, work, and personal growth. We believe everyone has the potential to reach their Hyer Wellness - but the path isn’t always easy to navigate alone.
That’s where we come in. Our team is here to walk alongside you, offering compassionate support, practical tools, and a safe space to help you reconnect with your most authentic self. When you feel empowered and supported, everything begins to shift - and that’s when real healing and growth begin.
Hyer Wellness was founded by Evyn Greenberg in 2021, with the goal of creating a resource that would help people live fuller, more empowered lives. Evyn’s extensive background in healthcare leadership and clinical practice combined with a passion for people has allowed her to build a practice that meets clients where they are—offering practical tools, deep support, and a safe space to grow. At Hyer Wellness, we take a person-centered approach that honors each individual’s story. We’re here to help you feel seen, heard, and supported as you move toward healing, clarity, and meaningful change. Whether you're managing everyday stress, navigating past trauma, or simply wanting to feel more aligned and fulfilled, our team is here for you.
