✨ Update on the Property ✨
Unfortunately the zoning request was denied this evening. While this wasn’t the outcome we had hoped for, we know that every bit of positive energy, prayers, and well wishes sent our way will carry Hestia Healing forward as we regroup and decide our next steps.
Even in a world where there are still stigmas around seeking care, and counseling as a whole, we remain committed to creating a space that nurtures, supports, and empowers women. This is just one step on our journey, and we are leaning into what lies ahead.
1212 Maumee Street - Adrian MI
When I first dreamed of Hestia Healing, my hope was to create something different, a space that would complement Adrian’s current mental health offerings by providing something more intentional, a little different, and deeply specialized. Seeing the growing need for women-only, specialized therapy, I envisioned a place that didn’t feel like a doctor’s office, but instead embodied a philosophy I deeply believe in. Inspired by a Traverse City physician who believed that beautiful architecture, nature, and meaningful work are essential for healing mental illness, I wanted this space to feel calm, safe, and restorative from the moment you walk in.
With that vision in mind, my husband and I set out a few years ago to purchase a commercial property that could embody this feeling. What we quickly learned was that commercial spaces in Adrian were few and far between - let alone something that met what I imagined.
After consulting with the city and feeling optimistic about rezoning options, we moved forward with renovating 1212 Maumee as a potential home for the practice. My family and I spent countless hours transforming the interior pouring time, care, and heart into every detail with outside renovations starting hopefully this summer. However, after a few zoning hiccups, we are at a pivotal moment.
Right now, we’re asking for all the good juju, prayers, and hopeful thoughts (or whatever you practice) that the Adrian City Zoning Commission votes this week on rezoning the property for Residential/Office use 🤍
Our hope is for this space to remain peaceful, preserve nature, and breathe beauty back into the property creating a healing environment for the women of Lenawee County.
If zoning passes, we look forward to welcoming two therapists who specialize in working exclusively with young women and maternal mental health, along with other specialists to come.
