Born and raised in Spartanburg, Emily Vargo has always had a passion for health, wellness, and creating something meaningful. After graduating from Coastal Carolina University, she moved back to Spartanburg with the goal of bringing fresh, healthy food to the community she grew up in.

​

In January 2015, Health in Hand opened its doors as downtown Spartanburg's first plant-based juice and smoothie bar. What started as a small dream quickly became something much bigger, thanks to an incredible community that believed in the mission from the very beginning.

​

Today, Health in Hand has grown to three locations across Spartanburg and Greenville, each built on the same commitment to high-quality ingredients, genuine hospitality, and making healthy eating both approachable and enjoyable.

​

As the business has grown, so has Emily's life. Along the way, she's become a mom, built an amazing team, and continues to stay involved in every part of the business—from developing new menu items to finding new ways to better serve the community.

​

More than anything, Health in Hand has always been about helping people feel their best. Whether you're stopping in for your daily smoothie, trying cold-pressed juice for the first time, or simply looking for a place that makes healthy food taste great, we're glad you're here.
