Today we’d like to introduce you to Olesya Webb.
Hi Olesya , please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I have been active throughout my entire life. My journey began as an elite-level rhythmic gymnast, which later transitioned into a career as a professional acrobat. Over time, I discovered my true passion for teaching movement and collaborating with fascinating clients. This realization lead me to earn certifications in various disciplines, including yoga, personal training, barre, and Pilates. In 2017, I launched Elevate Pilates HTX, a private Pilates training studio where Houston’s high achievers come to train. My ambition has always been to extend the business beyond the studio walls and establish a corporate branch for wellness services. I felt that there were many people who don’t go to a gym for a variety of reasons so I thought why not built a concierge-style service where I can come to them for workshops and help to create change.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Like any new endeavor, there’s always a learning curve. I dedicated time to acquire new skills, such as pitching, selling, and identifying the right connections in the corporate landscape. I firmly believe in the value of this work and understand that wellness programming plays a crucial role in corporate culture. While I excel at developing programs, I needed to learn how to effectively communicate this message to a completely new audience.
As you know, we’re big fans of Olesya Webb | Corporate Ergonomics Specialist . For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
I am a corporate wellness specialist who facilitates ergonomics sessions for high-performing teams and organizations. Before entering the corporate sector, I was already training high-achieving clients at my Pilates studio, which provided me with valuable insights into what would genuinely benefit teams. I dedicated time to learning, observing, and listening, which allowed me to develop signature workshops that I take great pride in leading.
In my arenaI am recognized for two signature workshops:
Desk Mobility™ | Ergonomics: This program enhances physical health and productivity within the workplace.
Unwind the Mind™ | Modern Meditation + Mindset: A transformative workshop designed to promote mental clarity and reduce mental stress.
What sets me apart in this field is my commitment to leading with heart and to focus on the whole person, not just a number or statistic. I believe that caring for others and prioritizing their well-being is essential. My passion lies in helping teams integrate these sessions into their quarterly routines and wellness programs.
What matters most to you?
For me, it’s all about helping individuals feel more at ease in their bodies. About 15 years ago, I began to observe that many people struggle with various forms of body stiffness and alignment problems. With my background, education, and training, I recognized that I could provide solutions to these problems.
In the corporate environment, long hours spent at desks or in meetings often lead to overall body stiffness. Fortunately, there are numerous simple ways to limber up and stay loose throughout the workday.
