CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

As one of BIÂN’s founders, CEO Joseph Fisher is a dedicated wellness enthusiast and entrepreneur driven by a deep passion for empowering others through intentional health practices. Joe envisioned BIÂN as a sanctuary where community and integrated support guide members on their personal wellness journeys. His own path was shaped by a transformative experience with holistic medicine after a frustrating wrist injury, which led him to a healer who approached his health with a whole-body perspective. This experience fundamentally changed his understanding of wellness—shifting how he eats, moves, and lives. With a background in law and business, Joe found true fulfillment not in financial success, but in reimagining how individuals experience healing. BIÂN is more than a business for Joe—it is a legacy for his children, grounded in vitality, community, and a love for life.
