Our Vision
The Upswing creates fashionable lemonade when life serves up a boat load of lemons.
We believe the look good/ feel good connection is real so when you’re not at 100% because well…life happens, we’ll help you get there.
The Upswing makes getting better, better.
Our Purpose
The Upswing empowers people to not let unfortunate circumstances f&%k up their happiness, confidence or personal style.
Our Story
The Upswing was created by a lifelong athlete and a lifelong klutz over a bottle of prosecco and the commitment to embracing life’s hiccups.
We embarked on a mission of personal and professional reinvention during the pandemic, which highlighted the need for people to focus on their health from a holistic point of view.
With a combined 40 years of experience in design, manufacturing, retail, events and marketing and countless injuries between us, we have realized the entrepreneurial dream and are thrilled that through The Upswing we can make getting better, better.
