MEET THE ONYX TEAM
Owner
Cindy McLean
Onyx Wellness is excited to welcome our new owner, Cindy McLean. Cindy was born and raised in Billings, Montana where she graduated from nursing school at Carroll College. She moved to California shortly after getting married but found she missed the beauty of Big Sky Country. In 1998, Cindy and her husband Brian returned to Montana to start their family.
Cindy has had a passion for nursing from a young age. For over 25 years, she has served the Billings community in various medical settings. In 2019, when Cindy was diagnosed with Acute myeloid Leukemia, health and wellness became an even higher priority. Thankfully, she achieved complete remission and views it as a second chance to live life to the fullest.
Outside of her work, you'll find Cindy spending quality time with her family and friends. She loves exploring the great outdoors through hiking, golfing, and rafting trips with her husband Brian and their dogs, Winston and Willow. Gardening and yardwork are also favorite hobbies of hers at home.
Cindy takes her grandfather's advice "whatever you do, do it well" to heart. Her love language is serving others, and she looks forward to helping you learn about health, wellness, mind, body and spirit at Onyx. Cindy is grateful to now serve the Billings community in this new role.
Founder / Customer Service Specialist
Lisa Oppegaard
In 2019 Lisa opened Onyx Wellness in hopes of providing a space where people can explore natural healing in a unique and fun way. She enjoys visiting with everyone who walks through the front door and is grateful for the incredible support from the Billings community. Lisa grew up in Billings. As much as she loves to travel and explore the many gifts this life has to offer, she is honored to be a part of the simple yet explosive place that is Montana. Lisa loves creating, learning, inspired conversation, delicious food, a good joke, and music and dancing.
“If your body was a piece of music, how would you want it to sound? It might play differently each day, but it definitely requires a little attention and fine tuning. This is what Onyx does for me. It’s a place to fine tune your mind, body, and spirit so that it sounds just right.” - Lisa

Massage Therapist
Ann Lewis
Additional Service at Onyx
Ann was born in Minnesota but has lived in Montana a majority of her life. She is a massage therapist as a second career, medicine being the first. When she's not working, she is with her horses or reading in her swing. Ann's absolute favorite thing to do at Onyx (other than her job), is the salt room and yoga.

Yoga Instructor
Beth Bakken
Beth grew up on the prairies of eastern Montana and has lived here all of her life except for a few years during college. Her 25 year teaching career came to a close recently, but she's not done learning yet! Beth has been tutoring students who have dyslexia for the past year and totally enjoys the one on one interaction. She loves to go on hikes with her husband and two dogs. She also enjoys bicycling, paddle boarding, reading and traveling. Beth's favorite thing at Onyx Wellness is yoga, of course! But she loves getting a massage and really loves the people - those who work at Onyx and our clients who are so warm and easy to get to know!
