Tracy Jo Sanderson

Jo brings together nearly two decades of hands-on care and over 14 years of experience managing and operating a medical wellness facility. With a strong background in both clinical administration and patient-centered care, she has a unique ability to see the full picture of wellness—from behind-the-scenes operations to one-on-one healing.

As a licensed massage therapist for 18 years, Jo’s foundation is rooted in understanding the body, listening to clients, and supporting true, lasting relief. Her clinical experience, combined with years of administrative leadership, has allowed her to bridge the gap between traditional medical care and holistic wellness services in a way that feels approachable, thoughtful, and effective.

Together, Jo and Jacki created Collective Wellness with the intention of building a healing space for the Summerville community—one that welcomes all types of healing practitioners under one roof. Their shared vision is centered on collaboration, accessibility, and integrative care, offering a supportive environment where clients can explore multiple paths to wellness.

Through Collective Wellness, Jo continues to blend experience, compassion, and community to help create a space that supports whole-body healing.

Meet Jacki Mariest

Jacki Mariest brings her background as a registered nurse and integrative wellness practitioner into everything she does. With years of experience in traditional healthcare, Jacki developed a deep understanding of how physical health, mental well-being, emotional balance, and spiritual connection are inseparable.

Throughout her nursing career, Jacki saw firsthand how often people were treated for symptoms while the deeper roots of imbalance went unaddressed. This awareness shaped her approach to care—one that emphasizes prevention, nervous system regulation, trauma-informed support, and whole-person healing.

Jacki is the founder of Heal Mind Body Soul, where she began offering care rooted in compassion, presence, and the belief that true healing happens when individuals are supported as complete human beings. Her work focuses on helping people reconnect with themselves, restore balance, and build resilience so they can thrive in their daily lives.

Through her clinical knowledge and heart-centered approach, Jacki continues to support individuals and communities in cultivating sustainable, meaningful wellness.

The Founding of Collective Wellness

Collective Wellness was born from a shared understanding between Jacki and Tracy Jo: healing works best when it is collaborative, accessible, and rooted in community.

Jacki’s experience as a nurse and holistic practitioner, combined with Tracy Jo’s extensive background in hands-on care and medical wellness operations, revealed the same truth—people need more than one approach to truly heal. They need options. They need connection. And they need a space where practitioners work together rather than in isolation.

Together, they envisioned a place where diverse healing modalities could exist under one roof, creating a supportive environment for both practitioners and clients. Collective Wellness was created to welcome all paths to healing—traditional and holistic alike—while honoring the belief that when individuals focus on their own healing and truly thrive, they are able to show up for others with generosity and care.

Today, Collective Wellness stands as a reflection of that shared purpose: a community-centered space dedicated to whole-person healing, collaboration, and the belief that when one person thrives, the collective grows stronger.
