Meet Our Mission Driven Team
Adrienne McLaughlin - Founder
My name is Adrienne, and I’m the Founder of Classic Health Inc.
Like so many in this industry, my journey began with a personal search for true health.
In my 20s, I faced a challenging chapter of chronic illness. I became determined to heal—not just the physical symptoms, but the emotional ones too—driven by a deep, intuitive belief that vibrant, lasting wellness was within reach.
Born and raised in New Jersey, I found myself like a kid in a candy store when I moved to the West Coast. Each trip back East, my suitcase was packed with the latest supplements, superfoods, and alternative healing protocols I had discovered. I loved stopping by the small, often limited health food stores in NJ to share what I’d found. Without even realizing it, I was already acting as a Broker—before I knew that was even a career path.
In 2009, after 17 wonderful years in San Francisco and Seattle, we moved our family of four back to New Jersey. I was excited to be home—and ready to bring everything I’d learned back with me. I had a strong sense that the Tri-State area was on the brink of a natural health and wellness movement, much like what I had experienced out West.
After five years of working with another brokerage, I launched Classic Health Inc. in 2015.
Today, Classic Health is a passionate team of five, committed to representing best-in-class natural brands and services. What began with just a few product lines has grown steadily, year over year. We've built trusted, long-lasting relationships with both our retail partners and the incredible brands we represent.
We genuinely love what we do—and we have fun doing it. For us, there’s nothing more fulfilling than helping to move the needle toward a more natural, vibrant, and healthy world.
It’s our privilege and our passion to partner with mission-driven brands that are redefining wellness.
Brian Long
Hi, I’m Brian!
I’m incredibly lucky to be the twin brother of Classic Health founder, Adrienne. From growing up together on the Jersey Shore to now working side by side, we've always been a team. Adrienne’s passion for wellness inspired me early on, and she’s been my guiding force through every chapter of my life.
After working in the Australian outback and developing a deep respect for nature, I followed my creative passion into photography—starting as an assistant to Annie Leibovitz and later traveling the world with legendary photographers like Mark Seliger. Over the years, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to photograph icons like Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Julia Roberts, and Johnny Cash. I eventually launched my own production company, creating global campaigns for brands like Apple, Nike, Microsoft, and Cisco.
When my son was born in 1994, I moved to San Francisco, where Adrienne welcomed us into her home and introduced me to the world of wellness and healthy living. Years later, during the pandemic, when my production work came to a halt, Adrienne once again showed up with a lifeline: come home, join Classic Health, and help grow a mission-driven brand rooted in purpose.
Six years later, I can truly say it changed my life. Today, I get to combine my love for storytelling, people, and wellness—helping meaningful brands and founders bring their vision to life. As a lifelong learner and proud Yankees fan, I’m beyond grateful to be doing it in the most exciting market in the world: New York.
I’m Brian—your Classic Health Bro. Be healthy. Be happy. Be well.
I’m Jill Liska, Sales Administrator and Inside Sales for PA, NJ and DE as well as Field Sales for Western PA. I help Adrienne remotely from Wisconsin with all her day-to-day operations and work directly with many of our retailers to help grow their retail real estate with our exceptional suite of brands.
20 years ago, I read a book that changed my life. I was never comfortable with going to conventional doctors and simply getting a pharmaceutical prescription for everything I showed up for. It never felt right in my soul, and I knew there was a better way to health and longevity. After reading my first book about controlling your own health I immediately embraced natural and organic living and alternative medicine, and wanted to shout it from the rooftops, but at that time, most people considered me weird and wouldn’t listen. It isn’t the easy route to do your own research and make your own health decisions, but I persisted.
I became a Spa Director, promoting outer and inner beauty through high quality products and services, as well one of the largest indoor labyrinths to add an element of inner reflection and growth, and eventually became an Account Executive for one of the spa’s organic skincare brands. In 2012, I became certified as a Wellness Coach, helping others transform their lives as I had done with my own. That led me to being a Wellness Manager at a Natural Foods Coop where I had the opportunity for 8 years to continue helping people take control of their own health and help them help their bodies heal themselves with hundreds of natural and organic brands of products and education.
I once again ended up leaving a managerial role to represent one of the Coops organic personal care brands, which eventually led me to Classic Health where I continue to be passionate about ingredients, sourcing and natural healing. And now I’m not so weird anymore! I’m so happy to be part of a positive movement where so many more people are now taking notice and learning all the wonderful alternative choices we all have to be better humans.
