Founded by Cole Hooley (she/they), a therapist and wellness educator with roots in mindfulness, movement, and holistic practices since 2011. What began in 2016 as Glowing Heart Reiki has since evolved — shaped by years of practice, study, and a deep commitment to integrative mental health and holistic wellbeing.

In 2021, Cole paused most offerings to pursue a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling at the University of Pennsylvania, continuing to teach yoga along the way. After completing clinical training in 2023, she began weaving together evidence-based therapy with nature-based and somatic practices that have long informed her work.

The name Middle Path came to Cole in 2024 during a solo hike — a moment of clarity at a literal fork in the trail. Choosing the middle path became both a direction and a metaphor: one of balance, integration, and trust in the way forward.

Today, Middle Path Wellness offers psychotherapy, ecotherapy, workshops, and a selection of non-clinical services, including yoga and Reiki — all thoughtfully structured to support whole-person growth and nervous system regulation.
