learn about wellness

Wellness is a modern word with ancient roots. It can be traced back to ancient civilizations but what has persisted until today is the concept that wellness is both preventive and holistic.  Thus, wellness can be defined as much by your actions as by what sits on your plate. As defined by the Global Wellness Institute, "Wellness" is the active pursuit of activities, choices and lifestyles that lead to a state of holistic health. So what then is holistic health? Well that is the logical next question and perhaps the most important when it comes to Wellness. 

Holistic health is an approach to life that considers multidimensional aspects of wellness. It encourages individuals to recognize the whole person. The physical, mental, emotional, social, intellectual, and spiritual life. Creating balance in all these areas while not a simple task is the goal and Wellness becomes a continuous journey to maintain balance in pursuit of that goal.
