“Wow, I had no idea that I could be so much better, clearer!

from our clients

– J.R. from Pure Symmetry

There is no one way to approach therapy, and she knows them all. Definitely recommend Marcie for any muscular-skeletal issues.”

“An amazing physical therapist who listens to me about my ‘broken bits,’ and honestly tells me what she can do, and what I should do to retain her therapy. 

– D.H. from Full Circle Massage Therapy

I originally came to Mary’s practice with a difficult medical condition and continue to find tremendous peace and relief as a result of Mary’s thoughtful care and support.”

“Mary is an extraordinary loving caring human being, an angel who shares her heart with others. 

Not only is Lora a best-in-class doctor of physical therapy and certified lymphedema therapist who helped me regain my strength, flexibility, and range of motion post-op, she also took extraordinary care of my emotional well-being as I was recovering from surgery. In her wellness practice, Lora has helped me stay on track with my health goals and increase my strength and endurance in a safe environment."

"Lora John is the whole package...

My paradigms have shifted utterly. My new awareness in my body has allowed me to address several health issues head on. Rachel's gentle coaching – literally her voice in my head – have helped me unravel years of unhealthy eating. I now proudly have lost almost 60 lbs, have way more energy, I allow room for rest, and am far more aware of my inner landscape as my body has connected to my mind. Rachel is a gem. I wish I could give her all the stars in the sky!”

“Rachel's wisdom and care has literally changed my life…

Pilates

Susan Smith Burns - Pilates

Susan was introduced to The Pilates Method in 1999 while finishing her Master of Science in Health Fitness Management at American University and working as a personal trainer and group cycling instructor. She immediately fell in love with how Pilates made her feel stronger and more connected, and how it complimented all of her other activities. She completed her initial Pilates Mat certification in 2000 with The PhysicalMind Institute and quickly followed up with their Pilates apparatus training, intending to teach Pilates as a side hustle while finding a "real job". But when opportunity came knocking, Susan realized she didn't want to go back into a corporate environment and that it was much more satisfying to help other people find balance in their bodies and improve their lives. In 2001, she opened a balance studio in Bethesda, MD and continues to lead the studio today, with a team of talented teachers. 

Susan joined the classical Pilates world in 2005 when she completed her comprehensive certification with Power Pilates and became one of their Teacher Trainers in 2010. While there, she met Bob Liekens, co-creator of the first Pilates teacher training program and subsequent founder of The Pilates Standard (TPS). She was invited by Bob to take his inaugural LEAP (Leading Education Advancement Program) 9-month training program in 2018 and was thrilled to join TPS as a Teacher Trainer in 2019. Currently, in addition to working with her own clients, she offers teacher training and continuing education for TPS in the greater Washington, DC area.

Susan works with a variety of clients of all ages and abilities and is known for meeting people where they are, guiding them with compassionate encouragement, and her dedication to the idea that movement heals.

She was drawn to Pilates while seeking a solution to help with her own back pain. The positive results she achieved led to her belief that Pilates is essential for everyone because of how it teaches people how to pull everything together for better core stability and integrated strength. 

Nirinjan started teaching at balance studio in 2001 and is a favorite of clients and staff alike. She is known as much for her jokes and easy laugh as for her challenging workouts. She loves seeing her clients achieve better coordination, strength, and balance, and her sincere warmth and care comes through in each and every session. Outside the studio, Nirinjan enjoys reading, doing yoga or chanting, and watching her grandchildren.

Find Your Balance at The Hive with Yoga, Pilates, and Community Classes for Mind, Body, and Spirit




The seed for 1440 Health Collective was planted in 2017. Our founder, Jessica Luke, thought of it during a profound moment of insight at a Tony Robbins conference. She wanted to create a place where people could feel good and get healthy. A one-stop shop for healing. 

So she started 1440 Health Collective in a small room in a chiropractor’s office. Now, it’s an expansive wellness center in the heart of Bethesda, MD. Jessica's dream blossomed into a haven where kindred souls can discover their unique healing tribe.

From Passion to Wellness Center

Our Journey: 

Our wellness center can help you heal all parts of your being – mind, body, spirit, and emotions. We’ll help you find your wellness path and start your healing journey. Ready to get started?

Mind, Body,
& Spirit

Mind, Body, & Spirit

Our wellness center can help you heal all parts of your being – mind, body, spirit, and emotions. We’ll help you find your wellness path and start your healing journey. Ready to get started?

At our wellness center, we believe in making each of those minutes count. So we designed our unique logo to represent this idea.

We purposely created the 1440 icon to look like the numbers of a digital clock – one that’s counting down to the next day of new opportunities. Because there’s always tomorrow to work on your wellness goals.

We also purposely moved the “0” in 1440 so the number isn’t completely closed. It remains open – an idea we embrace at our wellness center by encouraging you to:

  • Create space in your life for alternative forms of healing.
  • Be curious about your unique and individual path toward wellness.
  • Trust that future healthcare opportunities will come along at the right time. 

Every day you have the chance to discover health and healing, in whatever form it takes for you – and we’re here to support you along the way. 


There are 1,440 minutes in each day. Every minute is a chance to take care of yourself. To nurture your body, mind, and spirit. 

The Story Behind the 1440 Brand

At 1440 Health Collective, our goal is to help you find lasting change. So we opened a small retail store at our wellness center in Bethesda, MD.

We stocked it with products you can use in between your sessions with us. Each product helps you on your journey to better health. Explore Anima Mundi, our all-natural herbal product line. Or discover the energy of our handpicked crystals and healing jewelry. 

And the best part? By shopping with us, you can support our wellness center and its mission.

So the next time you come out to our wellness center, take a peek at our retail store. Or ask one of our practitioners what products they recommend to continue your healing journey.

R.S. about Massage Therapy with Anouk Ryckeghem

Anouk is an incredible massage therapist. I experienced massage from Anouk for at least 15 years. Additionally, she worked with my mother when she was in her late 90s which was very healing for her. She seems intuitive in her body work, integrating many approaches, which in reality has taken years of education and experience.  There are not many massage therapists as lovely and skilled as Anouk and I cannot recommend her highly enough!”

“Anouk is thoughtful and holistic and I learned much from her both through her insights into my body and through related conversations.
