Wellness has become is bit of a buzzword over the past few years. In broad terms, wellness is good health. It’s an approach to living that emphasizes total wellness from a holistic point of view.

Being well and healthy involves more than just the absence of disease or symptoms of disease.

Wellness is a way of life.

By choosing a certain lifestyle, you strive to achieve your highest potential.

Wellness is an integration of body, mind and spirit.

It is the understanding that for every action, there is a reaction. For every thought there is a behaviour. This integration impacts all levels of health.

Wellness is dynamic.
We can view wellness as a continuum, from unwell to well.

Wellness is a process.

It will not happen overnight. You must embrace the journey and learn to enjoy each part of the adventure.

Wellness is a choice.

It is a decision that YOU make to move toward optimum health.
