Meet Our Team

At Lift, we believe every human being should have the opportunity to experience wellness. We launched Lift with the vision to help people. We have assembled a talented, cross-functional team to develop the most comprehensive and life-changing platform for wellness. And we’re just getting started. The best way to design is together, and here's a little intro to our team:

"The good news is that you don't have to struggle with depression or anxiety forever.  The research is clear, there are small, simple adjustments in your life that can have a measurable impact on your overall mental health. Even a 10% improvement in key lifestyle areas has been shown to improve your mental health by over 30%. I'd say that is spectacular news!"
