The Inspiration Behind the Name
We each stumbled upon the same post by Jan Sky just days apart and eagerly shared it with each other. Inspired by the serendipity of it all, and our love of hummingbirds, we chose to name our new venture Teyana. The post we shared is below:
"The Healer Between Heartbeats"
They say the hummingbird came from the breath between worlds — too fast to be caught, too gentle to be feared.
She appears where pain settles quietly, where the air holds memory. Her wings do not fight the wind — they weave through it, stitching together what was torn by time.
The elders believe she carries the voices of those who left too soon. Not to speak for them, but to remind us: love never leaves, it just changes shape.
Her feathers shimmer with stories. Her flight is a prayer.
She doesn’t stay long. Healing never does.
But where she lands, something begins again.
They call her Teyána — The One Who Touches Without Bruising.
A timeless vision blossoms, from seed to fruition
In 2001, within the vibrant environment of Arizona State University's construction management program, Jenn Stockhill and Christine Fiori met, setting the stage for a lifelong collaboration rooted in healing and empowerment. Together, they delved into Reiki, healthy cooking, and personal growth, while also challenging themselves physically through triathlon training and hot yoga. They encouraged each other to achieve personal milestones, like buying their own homes, and embodying a holistic approach to life that nurtured the mind, body, and spirit. Their friendship ignited dreams of establishing a holistic wellness center, yet life soon led them on separate, transformative journeys that were rich with growth and resilience.
Jenn's path was one of profound challenges and personal growth. As she navigated the complexities of starting a family, she experienced the joy of welcoming children and the heartbreak of losing her son in 2008. This profound loss reshaped her views on personal growth, teaching her that it is a continuous journey rather than a destination. Despite these trials, Jenn found the strength to embrace new beginnings, including navigating a difficult divorce. Christine left Arizona in 2006 and found success at Virginia Tech, where she thrived in leadership and teaching roles traveling the world with students. However, life's unexpected turns brought her back to her alma mater, Drexel University, following her father's passing in 2015. This return to familiar grounds led to a serendipitous reconnection with a college friend, opening the door to a new beginning with her husband.
Despite having journeyed along divergent paths, Jenn and Christine have reunited after 24 years to bring their powerful vision to life with the founding of Teyana Wellness. This reunion is more than a mere collaboration; it is the culmination of decades of wisdom, resilience, and profound personal insights. Together, they are driven by a mission to create transformative spaces where individuals are not only supported but truly seen and inspired. Their combined experiences have forged a sanctuary at Teyana Wellness, dedicated to nurturing the mind, body, and spirit, and empowering people to embark on their own growth journeys.
