Your daily wellness, at the gate

Recovery and wellness,
reimagined for the modern traveler.

Elevate is a hybrid recovery space and wellness marketplace inside airports, designed for the modern traveler: a place to reset body and mind, and find the essentials that fuel your travel.

Elevate recovery space inside an airport terminal

From idle to intentional

A better way to wait.

Travel is hard on the body and mind. Hours of sitting, dehydration, time zone shifts, and food that works against the body. Airports offer massage chairs and quick spa stops, but they rarely match the recovery routines travelers already keep at home.

Elevate brings those routines into the terminal. Movement, breathwork, targeted compression, and the wellness essentials people trust. From idle waiting to intentional living, even at the gate.

Jen Kim, founder of Elevate

Founder

Jen Kim

Jen built her operational instinct on the floor of her family's airport and restaurant businesses. Doing every job meant she saw how the whole thing ran, how the pieces flowed together, and what it took to keep it moving. She carried that mindset into the military, where she served until 2019.

An injury there started a recovery that lasted years, one that forced a lifelong athlete and avid runner to stop moving completely, and taught her to care for her mind and body in a way she never had to before.

Then she became a consultant who flew every week. And she watched those routines fall apart the moment she stepped into an airport. No place to stretch, no quiet corner, nothing worth eating.

Somewhere along the way, breathwork became part of that healing. Short breathing exercises helped bring down stress during her workday and before sleep, and showed her how connected the mind and body really are. It was a small practice that made a daily difference.

The idea for Elevate came on a long flight to South Korea, in pain, wishing for a space near the gate with the tools to reset her body through movement before she boarded.

That is what she is building: a place to keep your routines, even when you are on the move.
