Caring for the Caregivers.
We exist to support the teachers, nurses, and caregivers who hold our communities together — the people who care for all of us.
Why The Distillate Exists
We started by listening.
We spoke with dozens of teachers, nurses, and social workers — all saying the same thing: burnout is real, visible, and too often ignored.
They didn't need another app or wellness email. They needed a way to be seen, understood, and connected to meaningful help.
That's what The Distillate was built to do.
"This isn't about fixing you. You're not broken. It's about giving you the personalized support you deserve."
