Host Deanna Fontanez visited Health House in Milford, where one man’s personal health journey has grown into a welcoming wellness destination for both locals and visitors. What began as a turning point in Liam’s own life is now a thoughtfully designed space that blends innovative technology with established wellness practices.

Liam’s story did not begin with a business plan, but with a personal decision to take control of his own health. After relocating with his wife to Milford for a fresh start, he found himself navigating the pressures of entrepreneurship, family life, and adapting to a new country. As he shared, “the combination of stresses of, you know, running small businesses in a small town in a foreign country. It wasn't without challenges.” When health concerns began impacting his energy and focus, he leaned into his background in wellness. “I was fortunate enough to have come from a health background previously. So, I knew of technology that was available, that I suspected was going to help me.” “I had created a very compact version of this technology that would allow me to not only be able to utilize this technology myself but also share it with other people.”

Around the same time, a local spa closed, leaving several therapists looking for a new location. The timing created an opportunity to expand the concept into a full service space. “We had a building available to us. It was a Victorian 150-year-old mansion that needed a little bit of loving but was a perfect space for us to combine those two worlds both the new world wellness technology that helped me and then we had the old world of massage, reflexology, yoga and the likes that were able to combine together.”

Today, guests step inside a restored historic property where advanced wellness technology works alongside various hands-on wellness therapies. As Liam explains, “I think it is that combination of the new and old world we're utilizing the latest that is available to us for a very concentrated dose of what we would normally get in nature.”

Each visit is customized, offering options for those seeking recovery, stress relief, or renewed energy. For Liam, the mission remains personal. “For us, you know, my personal journey, having that transformation, if I can share that and allow people to perform better in their everyday lives, to enjoy life a little bit better, less pain, maybe more energy. That's really the magic for us.”

Located just a short walk from their other business, Better World, the two businesses support one another. Health House is helping guests recover and get their health back, while Better World is helping them maintain a healthy lifestyle long after their visit. Liam’s journey is a reminder that prioritizing health can grow into something that serves an entire community and offers visitors another meaningful reason to spend time here in Milford.
