Wellness is the pursuit of continued growth and balance in the seven dimensions of wellness. Many people think about "wellness" in terms of physical health only. The word invokes thoughts of nutrition, exercise, weight management, blood pressure, etc. Wellness, however, is much more than physical health. Wellness is a full integration of physical, mental and spiritual well-being. It is a complex interaction that leads to quality of life.

​

Wellness is commonly viewed as having seven dimensions. Each dimension contributes to our own sense of wellness or quality of life, and each affects and overlaps the others. At times one may be more prominent than others, but neglect of any one dimension for any length of time has adverse effects on overall health.

The approach we use when working with an individual, as opposed to working with a group, is based on the exploration of the specific needs of the person. There is more of a question and answer exchange involved, to enhance the core Elan Vita system. By adding other components to facilitate the best results, we are able to create a personalized approach for the individual to follow.
