+wellvyl is a Social Wellness Business. Social Wellness is a subcategory of Wellness, which there are six modalities (Mental, Physical, Emotional, Spiritual, Environmental, and Social). The reason we are a Social Wellness Company in particular is that we believe Social Wellness is the key to unlocking the other five aspects of wellness, and our individual and collective wellness. Mind, Body, Emotion, Soul all speak to our individual selves. We believe that only focusing on these is not enough since all 8 billion of us share this planet, which then connects to Environmental Wellness – our shared Planet Earth.
+wellvyl does this by getting to the core of our social interactions with others and communication. Everything begins with how we exist in conversations. How we listen to others and how we articulate what we are thinking and feeling.

our perspective
There’s more to resolving loneliness than having friends and things to do – it’s about how we listen, think, behave, and how we treat others – especially in tough times. Let’s also face that “adult-friending” is hard AF and you can’t solve loneliness – what’s next? Solving sadness or fear – feelings make us humans and +wellvyl will provide you access to resources and see that there’s other ways of being that are quite easily attainable.

our founder & CEO
Christopher Krietchman’s early life, split between Brooklyn and Staten Island, was a complex tapestry woven with threads of bicultural heritage and significant personal challenges. His formative years in Catholic school were marked by anti-Semitism, bullying, and toxic behavior. These experiences, rather than defining him negatively, profoundly influenced his later dedication to advocating for kindness and empathy.
His entrepreneurial spirit bloomed at a young age, with a Christmas lights business starting at 10 years old. This same age also saw him begin his fight against racism and bullying, showcasing an early commitment to social justice. At 14, his exposure to New York City’s vibrant nightlife unveiled the city’s intricate social structures and ingrained biases, an experience he described as a “dark sunny day” that deepened his understanding of societal ills. A pivotal moment arrived at 18 during his college years when he faced a nervous breakdown and survived a suicide attempt. This traumatic event led to a crucial realization: many of his struggles stemmed from societal treatment. This understanding became a cornerstone for his appreciation of the critical importance of kindness and communication.
Krietchman’s venture into health and wellness also began at 10, sparked by a weight-loss camp and the film ‘Pumping Iron.’ Initially, his pursuit of muscles was a shield, a way to gain confidence and protection from bullies. This path led to a 15-year professional bodybuilding career. However, beneath the surface of physical perfection, he privately grappled with body dysmorphia, where “numbers mattered” significantly. This intense focus on physical appearance, coupled with a learning disability, created what he termed a “potential formula for disaster.” An injury ultimately brought his competitive career to an end, a turning point that prompted a profound shift in his life’s purpose. This transformation, instead of being a setback, created a “wonderful opportunity to serve others in healthy living,” ultimately leading to the birth of Wellvyl. This venture is founded on the belief that “positive human interaction” is paramount to true health. Krietchman’s journey, from personal struggle to founding Wellvyl, powerfully exemplifies his unwavering commitment to fostering well-being and connection, moving beyond simply “lifting weights” to “lifting much more” for a healthier, more compassionate world.
