Erin’s introduction to Hand & Stone came through her personal journey of seeking wellness and balance in her life.

As Hand & Stone continues its expansion across the United States, Tennessee remains a priority market for the brand. Don and Maria Williams, current Hand & Stone spa owners, have turned their focus to area development for the brand and continue to prioritize growth in the region. Their journey with Hand & Stone began in 2010, when they opened their first spa in Florida after Maria was experiencing constant backpain and turned to massage therapy as a remedy. As they became more committed to the brand over the years, they opened eight total locations in Florida, eventually selling them back to Hand & Stone corporate and then acquiring two more. Maria also pursued and received her esthetician license. </span></span></span></span></p>

“We’re very fortunate to have found a brand we believe in so deeply. Discovering Hand & Stone and investing in them has altered the trajectory of our lives in the best possible way,” says the Williams. “We’re now pursuing three additional agreements in Tennessee, a state we’re now planning to call home, and look forward to the future success of our businesses and bringing Hand & Stone to new communities.” </span></span></span></span></p>
