Before starting her Atlanta-based business ventures, Althea designed the youth fitness program for Johns Hopkins Hospital pediatric center, created the postnatal wellness program for Sinai Hospital’s obstetrics department in Baltimore, and led the Healthy Living exercise program for 13 Kaiser Permanente Medical Centers in Atlanta.

Althea has been married to her college sweetheart, Maurice Thompson, for twenty-four years and they are the proud parents of two sons, Maurice III and Malik. Her key to balancing family, business and life is daily early-morning meditation, spending time in nature, and travel.
