Hello, Utah friends, Pilates lovers, and generous supporters,

We’re reaching out with heavy hearts but boundless hope for our dear friend Missy, heart & soul of the brand-new Zion Mystic Wellness Pilates studio in Hurricane, Utah. Just two weeks ago, Missy and her partner Kellen opened their doors, transforming their passion for wellness into a stunning space for health, strength, and community. Many of you know Missy from her years teaching movement across Utah- where her energy and expertise inspired countless people to move better and live stronger.

Tragically, on June 21st 2025, Missy was in a serious car accident. She’s now facing surgery to place 3-4 screws in her sacrum, a critical procedure to stabilize her lower spine. Recovery means 6 weeks in a wheelchair, followed by months of physical therapy to regain her strength. For someone who lives to teach Pilates and empower others, this is a devastating setback—not just for her health, but for the dream she and Kellen have worked so hard to build.

As a new business owner, Missy faces significant challenges: medical bills, therapy costs, and lost income from being unable to teach, all while keeping Zion Mystic Wellness running. We’re launching this GoFundMe to raise $100,000 to help Missy heal and ensure their studio remains a beacon of wellness for Hurricane and all of Utah. Here’s how your support will make a difference:

• Medical Expenses: Surgery, hospital stays, physical therapy, a wheelchair, and medications are estimated at $60,000-$70,000, even with partial insurance coverage.

• Lost Income: Unable to teach for 10-15 weeks, Missy could lose $6,000-$12,000 in earnings as a new entrepreneur.

• Studio Support: Keeping ZMW open requires $5,000-$10,000 to cover rent, utilities, and staff for 1-3 months while Missy recovers.

• GoFundMe Fees: Approximately $3,000 to cover platform fees (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction).

How You Can Help:
