Meet EO Accelerator
Miho Hatanaka, CEO of House Nine Wellness and Tea

 

We are a wellness hub that honors your embodied wisdom. By deeply listening to what is present in your body, we aid in a great unwinding of stress, tension, & pain. We believe wellness is both preventative healthcare and a sacred act of reverence that pays homage to body & spirit. Integrating massage therapy, acupuncture, herbal medicine, and tea culture in a beautiful, light-filled studio right in the heart of SE Portland allows us to holistically support you through all seasons of life.

>What's on the horizon for you?

As an immigrant, woman, and first-time business owner, starting a business amidst of the pandemic (we opened Jan 2020) has been rough. Now, we're getting out of the survival mode and looking to finally grow! We're diligently working to streamline communication amongst our team members and we're working toward open book management. It's been our dream to open our books to our staff because so many practitioners in health and wellness industry are fearful of money and finances. We want to empower our practitioners to be able to make better decisions by opening our books and educating them on how business side of things work.
 
>How do you unwind at the end of a long day?
Gosh, there's no unwinding time for me for a while! I have a 2 year old and a 7 month old. When I have the opportunity, taking a bath is my best treat.

>Your favorite EO moment so far?
Connecting with so many great entrepreuners at EO/EOA events as well as outside. Everyone in the organization are caring, kind, and empowering. I'm thrilled to be a part of such group!
