be. helps you focus on your journey to whole-body wellness

Lindsey Bonadonna believes that humans are beginning to realize that our self-worth does not need to be determined by how productive we are or how much we achieve.  

“As a health and life coach, and someone who has been on her wellness journey for a few years now, all the rushing and doing just gets us sick more and dying younger,” she says. “That’s not why we were born into this life, and I believe the more we take time to slow down, get curious and nourish our whole selves, the more presence, abundance and joy we will experience, and that is why life is about.”  

Bonadonna is the founder of be., a building dedicated to making a more wellness-filled life easier and more delicious. 

“We strongly believe that by taking better care of ourselves through eating more whole foods and less processed foods, hydrating ourselves, moving around a bit and resting results in having more energy and capacity to do what we love and we aspire to make that as easy as possible so more humans can create their own unique ripple in the world,” she adds. 

The goal at be. is to serve as a one-stop-shop for all things wellness. That’s why at be., you’ll find that the first floor is home to The Market @ be. The Market features house-crafted, nutrient-dense grab-n-go meals, smoothies, boba, baked goods, pantry goods and snacks that are sourced as locally as possible. Then, on the second floor, you’ll find The Studios @ be., which features Kindred Flow Yoga + Wellness plus a space where entrepreneurs passionate about helping and healing are located.  

“Our second floor serves as a hub for healers and helps to focus on a bigger picture of wellness far beyond what you eat and drink,” says Bonadonna. “All of our partners are gifted in meeting you where you’re at, no experience required.” 

When asked what makes this space unique, Bonadonna said that it’s somewhere that allows you to slow down, take a breath and be met with kindness wherever you are in your wellness journey. 

“Our entire building is filled with humans who are gifted in kindness, emotionally intelligent and are welcoming,” she adds. 

Also, all the items from be. are gluten, dairy and peanut-free. There are also a variety of intentional vegan options and a free community water station featuring a Kangen Water Machine, so guests who visit can fill up jugs with fresh, alkaline, antioxidant super-hydrating water. 

Most recently, be. started offering Boba that has four ingredients and is used with Wendigo Tea, a local tea company, and boasts house-made syrups. The space also offers brunch every Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and features nutrient-dense brunch foods that taste good and are good for you. 

be. is located in Wyoming at 1 Wyoming Avenue at the corner of Springfield Pike and Wyoming Avenue.
