Our Story

Founded in Knoxville, Tennessee in 2024, Within: The Wellbeing Collective is a space for people who are ready to reconnect with themselves, feel better in their daily lives, and make choices that support who they truly are.

We believe real well-being comes from caring for every part of yourself—physically, mentally, emotionally, and beyond. Within was created to be a place where you can explore what that means for you, learn new tools, and make sustainable changes—alongside a supportive community. Whether you’re just beginning or have been on this path for a while, you’re welcome here.

Our Mission & Purpose

Our mission is to support whole-person well-being through meaningful community, practical tools, and everyday practices that help people feel better from the inside out.

Our purpose is to create a welcoming space where people can slow down, tune into what they need, and take thoughtful steps toward a life that feels more like them.

Meet our Founders

Together, we created Within to be the community we both craved—a space where healing and growth feel accessible, embodied, and supported. We're so glad you're here.

Maja Roy

Co-founder & Energy Practitioner

Originally from Slovenia, Maja has spent the last decade building a life in Knoxville with her husband and son. Her journey into holistic wellness began in her early twenties when her mother’s cancer diagnosis led her family to explore alternative healing. Since then, she’s devoted herself to the study of nourishment, energy work, and spiritual well-being.

With a background in biodynamic winemaking and natural wine education, Maja has spent years cultivating community through high-vibrational food, wine, and intentional gathering. After the birth of her son, her healing journey deepened, ultimately leading her to Kundalini Activation—a powerful energy transmission practice she now offers through Within.

Maja’s sessions are rooted in surrender, presence, and energetic alignment. She creates a safe space for emotional release, transformation, and reconnection with your true self.

Sarah Stebbins

Co-founder & Integrative Health Practitioner

Originally from Northeast Pennsylvania, Sarah moved to Knoxville in early 2023 with her husband and young son. Her personal journey with digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, anxiety, and burnout led her to explore root-cause healing and mind-body practices that helped her reconnect with herself from the inside out.

Through a blend of nutrition, emotional support utilizing EFT, and nervous system work, Sarah now helps her clients feel grounded, energized, and at home in their bodies. Her work is rooted in helping clients create sustainable, whole-body wellness—so they can move through life with more clarity, confidence, and ease.

As co-founder of Within, Sarah is passionate about building community and creating spaces where individuals feel seen, supported, and empowered on their path to true well-being.

Our Core Values

  • Curiosity

    We believe growth starts with asking questions. Curiosity helps us explore new ideas, understand ourselves more deeply, and stay open to what’s possible—without judgment or pressure to have it all figured out.

  • Community

    Healing and growth don’t happen in isolation. We create space for connection, support, and shared experience, knowing that being seen and supported by others makes the journey more sustainable.

  • Compassion

    We lead with kindness—for ourselves and for others. Whether you’re moving through something heavy or simply trying to do your best, compassion reminds us that we’re all human, and we all deserve care.

  • Consistent Action

    Lasting change isn’t about doing it all at once—it’s about showing up, even in small ways. We value intentional, steady action that aligns with your capacity and honors your pace.
