About Us

Wellness at Work has grown in so many ways since the company was founded in 1996, some people are now confused by the name. Marilyn Kier, the company's founder, doesn't think the name is confusing at all. "Our services have grown to meet our clients' needs. Wellness at Work is a company that helps clients achieve total wellness. We'll work with you at your office providing on-site corporate massage, at our office with therapeutic massage and work in conjunction with your medical team to administer the prescribed therapeutic bodywork."

Kier, a nationally certified massage therapist who has a BA in psychology, spent 15 years working in employee benefits consulting before she switched gears and became an employee benefit. She founded Wellness at Work after graduating from a 730 hour program at the Wellness and Massage Training Institute.
