Wellness HR partners with spas, fitness studios, integrative health practices, and wellness brands to build strong, people-first HR frameworks that support growth.
Paula DeCrescenzo founded Wellness HR with something most HR consultants simply don't have — she's lived the wellness industry from the inside. With over 15 years as a licensed massage therapist working across spas, in-home services, and as a sole proprietor, Paula understands the realities of wellness work in a way no generalist consultant can.
She also brings 4 years of hands-on experience in Human Resources systems administration at a large nonprofit organization — giving her a grounded, practical understanding of how HR operations actually function at scale.
That rare combination of wellness industry experience and formal HR expertise is what makes Wellness HR different. Paula is excited to partner with wellness businesses, bringing both worlds to the table so your people operations can be as strong as the care you deliver to your clients.
