About Us

Creative Wellness Collective was founded by lifelong friends Hana Schmittdiel and Bryce Leventen with the belief that support should be deeply personal, relationship-based, and tailored to the unique strengths and goals of each individual.

Having grown up together in Santa Monica, California, Hana and Bryce have shared a passion for helping others from an early age. Their friendship and years of experience working directly with individuals and families became the foundation for Creative Wellness Collective.

For Hana, this work is especially close to home. Growing up alongside her sister, who has Down syndrome, gave her firsthand understanding of the importance of inclusion, advocacy, and creating opportunities for individuals of all abilities to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives. Those experiences continue to shape the heart and mission of Creative Wellness Collective.

Both Hana and Bryce spent many years working in special education and have over a decade of experience providing one-on-one support to children, adolescents, adults, and families with a wide range of needs. Through those years, they witnessed the profound impact that compassionate, individualized support can have on a person's confidence, independence, and overall quality of life.

Bryce is a Certified Advanced Case Manager (CDAC), bringing additional expertise in care coordination, systems navigation, and helping families access the resources and support they need. Together, Hana and Bryce founded Creative Wellness Collective to provide innovative, person-centered services that empower individuals to build meaningful lives and experience genuine connection within their communities.
