Why Integrative Wellness Center Was Started

Integrative Wellness Center grew out of a passion to help people with difficult health situations. Living with chronic illness and health challenges can leave you feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, and without hope. We are here to show you there is hope! You can turn your health struggles into healing. Our purpose is to help you restore your health and well-being so that you live your life at its very best.

Our Approach at Integrative Wellness Center

You are one-of-a-kind.

Your health concerns, background, and physiology are unlike anyone else’s. Many different factors go into who you are and what you are experiencing. What works for someone else’s health situation may be very different from what will work for yours. Because of this, we customize a plan that is tailored just to you – based on your health history, your nutrition history, and your physiology.

Most likely, there are a number of causes to your health situation.

With chronic health challenges, many factors can come into play. When seeking to get well, all factors need to be considered. While there is no single magic bullet that will help you get well, it is our aim to provide you with a comprehensive plan to help you get better and stay better.
