Transforming History into Wellness: The Andrew Lincoln House Becomes a Sanctuary for Health in East Rochester

East Rochester now has a space where history and wellness intertwine—a place where movement, strength, and healing meet the echoes of the past. I’ve dedicated my career to helping people move better, feel stronger, and live pain-free, and now, I’ve found the perfect home for that mission: the historic Andrew Lincoln House. Built in 1841, this beautifully preserved landmark is now the heart of Wheeler HealthyU, a wellness space offering Pilates, Personal Training, Massage Therapy, Physical Therapy and Psychotherapy—all within the rich history of this remarkable home.

Honoring the Legacy of Andrew Lincoln

Long before this house became a hub for wellness, it was home to Andrew W. Lincoln, a pioneer whose vision shaped the community around Irondequoit Creek.

Who Was Andrew Lincoln?

Andrew Lincoln (1784–1866) was an entrepreneurial force, known for co-founding the Lincoln Flour Mill near Spring Lake in Penfield. This mill, built in 1821, became one of the largest flour suppliers in New York and New England. His work fueled the region’s economic growth, but over time, the landscape changed—Spring Lake disappeared, and the mill ceased operations.

What remained was the Andrew Lincoln House, a living connection to Rochester’s past. My goal is to preserve that connection while giving the house new purpose—a space where people can rebuild their strength, restore their bodies, and reconnect with themselves.

My Vision for Wheeler HealthyU

As a Pilates Teacher, Personal Treainer, and Massage Therapist, I’ve spent years helping clients move efficiently, build strength, and recover from injuries. I believe true wellness isn’t just about exercise—it’s about understanding your body, healing from within, and building resilience for a lifetime of movement.

That’s why I created Wheeler HealthyU—to provide a space where people can train smarter, move better, and heal faster under expert guidance.
