Lance Isakov, Amy Meilman, Leslie Lewart and Samantha Meilman, opened up the doors of The Well on November 1st, 2006, after 2 years of wishing, learning, playing and growing.

The dream of the well came from three springs.

The first was Lance & Amy's desire to create a wellness center and yoga studio. This would be a place where community could be built, a home base, a center for mind, body & spirit growth. This space would offer high quality services and classes with top-notch practitioners and teachers, and would aim to help people open up fully to their life's purpose and to feel better, on all levels.

The second spring was Leslie's dream of opening up a spiritual book store. In this dream, she would invite authors and teachers to come and share their life's passions. It would be a place where we could open up to new possibilities & satisfy our curiosities. This store would be a place where we could get together, learn, grow, expand our minds and share in conversations that could serve our local and global community.

The third spring belongs to Samantha Meilman. After years of world traveling & ready for a change from New York City's corporate world, Samantha jumped at the idea of opening up a wellness center. With her experience in international affairs, her business expertise & her organizational skills, The Well water began to twinkle.

In August of 2006, these three springs found each other in a warehouse space tucked behind Main Street in Historic Ellicott City. At long last, The Well was born.

The foundation of this place is love & community. The Well's mission is to provide a book shoppe & community space and joyfully offer a variety of yoga, healing arts & resources for the mind, body & spirit.

The Well serves as a space for us to come together and share our wisdom with each other, to help each other grow and come to our fullest, so that we can serve others and help others come to their fullest.

The Well's promise is to live it's truth in action and service. To gather people together and offer support, healing & new possibilities under a roof of trust and love.
