Step into Wellness
The Nurture Healing Wellness Programs and Workshops are designed to help you optimize your wellness and support your body’s ability to heal.
Many of us face health challenges. Certainly, there are times that we need medications or treatments to control our symptoms, but what if we could do more to help ourselves feel better?
The good news is - we can!
A Nurture Healing Wellness Program may be right for you if you are struggling with:

- Or if you simply know that feeling better is possible and you want to learn how.
It is time to become empowered in your wellness.
There is no better day than today. In the Wellness Programs, we focus on techniques and skills that have been scientifically shown to decrease inflammation, support cellular renewal, and alter the biochemistry in the body to enhance recovery, health and vitality.
Let your doctor prescribe any necessary treatments while you become an active participant in your wellness by learning how to focus on important lifestyle factors that can dramatically improve your health.

Because Our Health Care System Isn’t Always Enough.
When faced with an illness or a health challenge, our current health care system offers many important treatments and medications. Certainly this is helpful and often necessary, but it can also lead to a sense of being stuck in a cycle of taking medications, partially suppressing symptoms, and creating side effects.
In standardized health care, the typical approach is to focus on illness. This illness based approach may be necessary in some conditions, but it is incomplete.
The Nurture Healing Wellness Programs help to provide you with what is missing: tools to empower you to enhance your own wellness.
Instead of just trying to get rid of an illness, it is time to also focus on wellness.
Once you begin to focus on wellness, it shifts everything.
When you focus on creating wellness, you find the conditions in your life that best serve healing, regeneration and renewal in the body. You become aware of all the ways you can contribute to the potential of health within your body and empowered to shift the way you live to align with greater health.
The Wellness Programs and Workshops focus on specific, realistic, and positive actions that can help you feel better through five pillars of wellness: mindfulness as medicine, food as medicine, relaxation as medicine, movement as medicine, and joy as medicine.
The Five Pillars of Wellness
Because feeling good is NOT just about luck, or genetics, or circumstances. What you do each and every day matters.
Supporting your health and wellbeing takes commitment and a willingness to prioritize feeling better.
If you are ready and committed to your wellness, and you are looking for support that can help you make a significant impact; if you are ready to take charge of your healing process; if you are ready to have the peace of mind knowing that you are doing what is best for your body, mind and life; if you are tired of feeling helpless, overwhelmed, and dependent on others for relief of your symptoms; and if you are ready to feel better, to have more energy, more vitality, and more joy in your life, then join us!
These programs are not right for you if you just want a quick fix.
The truth is that for the majority of health problems we face today, there aren't any magic pills or one-step "fixes." Healing often require whole systems approaches where wellness is actively created and the root causes of illness are discovered and addressed.
Wellness is a practice - a way of life.
One thing we know for sure is that the body is incredibly resilient. It can change and heal and often recover when given the proper conditions. Wellness is not something done once and then checked off of a list. Wellness is about becoming educated, empowered, inspired, and ultimately, an active participant in creating your health. When you are committed to the practice of wellness in your life, you are giving yourself, and those you love, a true gift.
Bodies are designed to heal just like seeds are made to grow.
The tools shared in these programs can help you sow the seeds of wellness in your life and help to restore health in your body.
Though we cannot control everything that is (or isn't) going to happen in our bodies, we can certainly make a positive impact and tip the scales toward greater wellbeing. But we must first plant the seeds of wellness, give ourselves time to adjust, create habits that stick, and then allow wellness to grow over a period time.
Your body is not static. The body you have today is literally not the same body you had 6 months ago and it is going to be different 6 months from now. The over 38 trillion cells in the human body are constantly moving and changing, dying and being born anew. Every week, we replace the lining of our intestines. Every month, we shed and replace our entire skin. In just three months, we make a whole tank of fresh blood. Scientists estimate that every year we generate a mass of cells equal to our own body weight. The cells in our bodies are literally remade anew each and every day.
As you implement the tools in the Nurture Healing Wellness Programs, you are actually giving yourself the opportunity to grow a healthier body from the inside out.
The Nurture Healing Wellness Programs and Workshops can offer you tangible skills while giving you flexibility, guidance, and support.
The first step in achieving greater wellness is making a commitment to your wellbeing. Once you make a commitment, the seeds of health are planted and greater wellness can begin.
