Before starting their own business, NICOLE ELIPAS DOHERTY and KATIE ROWE MITCHELL found their corporate jobs stressful and were looking for a simple way to feel better at work. Their solution was Unfold, a 100 percent women-owned and operated workplace wellness company that offers office- friendly movement, breathing, and stress reduction programs. Unfold’s approach is rooted in the ancient practices of mindfulness, designed to support the well-being of busy modern-day professionals. Classes are done right at your desk, no change of clothes or equipment needed. Nicole and Katie created their company with the values of being sincere and authentic and enjoy bringing their classes to life through their online membership, Unfold Digital, or at the office through corporate services.

How do you impact your clients?

Through our classes, our clients feel better, work better, and live better. We empower people to create peace in their minds and happiness in their hearts—one breath at a time.

What is your fashion style?

We love comfortable yet professional clothing that allows for movement and ease of breath. We work in a variety of industries from law firms and tech start-ups to libraries and schools— sometimes all within the same day! Our work clothing is practical and accessible, just like our classes.

What advice would you give to future Power Women?

Small changes create radical results. We believe taking care of yourself is PART OF your work, not an afterthought. Schedule wellness breaks into your day just like you would any other meeting, conference call, or appointment. Prioritize your well-being so you’re able to show up for your life in the ways that matter most.
