Our Approach is Based on Science
Total - the whole you
We strive to understand your health on a multidimensional level and are committed to your physical, mental, and social well-being. What is most important to you becomes the basis for our partnership and provides the framework for your path forward.
Wellness - disrupting the status quo
Recognizing you may have tried many ways to change - we provide a different experience. Wellness is not only being free of disease; rather, what is achieved when a body is given the right ingredients to thrive. Through client-driven coaching, we help you discover which ingredients are missing and how to bring them back to the mix.
Lab - evidence-based
Total Wellness Lab stays current on research so we can authentically represent proven methods for change in lifestyle habits. Our goal is not a quick fix, but science-backed behavior change that is sustainable.
