how GOOD health feels!
Rediscover
Balanced. Personal. Energetic. Happy. Easy.
Whether through stress, disease, injury, or just life, we can find ourselves at a crossroad, where we don't feel healthy any more, and we don't know what else to try.
It's good that you are here!!
We use a functional medicine approach to find your personalized path to feeling better
Our bodies want to move. Either through exercise, stretching, detoxing, hydrating, resting-we move all the time. The best movement is balanced and right for you, easy to accomplish, modify, and adapt with you.
MOVEMENT
We all know that food is an important element of health. But it goes further than not eating certain foods. Good health is about eating all of the energy and nutrients that our bodies and brains need to function well! We need to focus less on eating less and more on what we need to eat MORE OF, and then our bodies don't crave the manufactured non-food as much.
NUTRITION
Nothing works without rest. Sleep is a big part of rest, and we are learning more and more about what constitutes a good night's sleep. Getting our body out of stress mode and into rest is a huge part of modern health.
REST
SCIENCE OF HEALTH
We all know there is a lot of science of health: Omega-3 vs Omega-6 oil, Inflammation, Gut health, MTHFR, Genetic SNPs, Oh my! Tough to know where to start! Info is constantly flowing at us, which can feel like drinking from a fire hydrant!
That's why you need...
ART OF HEALTH
We spend a lot of time researching, thinking, planning, tinkering and implementing strategies to make the latest research easily manageable and applicable to your everyday life. We live in a 3-generation household: we see in real-time what works and what is just not going to happen. We also are prickly pears ourselves, and will not stick with a program that is Draconian or unpleasant. The goal is to find the habits that are sustainable, over time. Which means malleable to each individual, uncovering an easy, enjoyable and powerfully helpful wellness lifestyle.
TIME
Time is short! You need to know how to spend the little time you have in the most efficient way to get and stay healthy.
No one wants to spend a lot of wasted time, energy and effort for questionable results. We all want to enjoy life, to its fullest, not be a slave to fads that don't work and are difficult to accomplish.

Trouble concentrating? Feel like life is swallowing you whole? Too much on your plate? We'll teach you why we burn out our focus, and how to get it back.
