Our Goal Is To Empower You To Well­be­ing

To start we’re going to fol­low the “KISS” prin­ci­ple and keep it sim­ple.  The truth is that well­ness is sim­ple.  We want to help you carve out that sim­plic­ity from our too-complicated Amer­i­can way of life.

Our web­site will have three main func­tions:

• A well­ness library where you can access new ideas from our mem­ber pro­fes­sion­als.
• A forum where you can share your expe­ri­ence and ask ques­tions of oth­ers — pro­fes­sion­als and layper­sons alike.
• A direc­tory to find well­ness pro­fes­sion­als to help you on your jour­ney.

The ideas, con­ver­sa­tions and pro­fes­sion­als that you’ll find on the site will be wide rang­ing, cov­er­ing all areas of well­be­ing — phys­i­cal, emo­tional and spir­i­tual.  After all, there is only one you.  Let’s reverse the trend of main­stream med­i­cine to “treat the parts,” and recon­nect the mind, body and spirit in our approach to well­be­ing.

We’re start­ing sim­ple and small, but aim­ing big.

Later we can begin a newslet­ter, inter­net radio and TV sta­tions, and spon­sor sem­i­nars and other live events ded­i­cated to help­ing us all to well­be­ing.

Your ideas are wel­come too. With your help we can change our cul­ture! Let’s make this site “the place to go” for exchange of ideas on well­ness.  Let’s help and encour­age one another as we learn and grow in well­be­ing.

Our well­ness arti­cles, forum posts, and direc­tory searches will be avail­able to all.  Con­tribut­ing to the forum will require a free reg­is­tra­tion as a Pub­lic Mem­ber.  A direc­tory list­ing and post­ing library con­tent will be lim­ited to our Pro­fes­sional Mem­bers.

What kind of pro­fes­sion­als will you find there?  Indi­vid­u­als that can help you grow — phys­i­cally emo­tion­ally and spir­i­tu­ally.  Peo­ple like life coaches, well­ness coaches, per­sonal train­ers, chi­ro­prac­tors, mas­sage ther­a­pists, coun­selors, nutri­tion­ists, vit­a­min and sup­ple­ment spe­cial­ists, acupunc­tur­ists, and holis­tic physi­cians.

Our Pro­fes­sional Mem­bers com­mit to a sim­ple 10-point Pro­fes­sional Promise:

• I live the phi­los­o­phy of “more health and less care” as expressed in the Ten Core Beliefs of the Alliance and the book “More Health, Less Care.”

• My prac­tice is focused on empow­er­ing clients to achieve their high­est aims for over­all well­ness.

• I hon­estly rep­re­sent my edu­ca­tion, train­ing, expe­ri­ence, licen­sure, and cer­ti­fi­ca­tions.

• I do not prac­tice beyond my level of com­pe­tence.  I inform clients when they require a higher level or dif­fer­ent type of ser­vice than I can pro­vide, and main­tain a net­work of pro­fes­sion­als to whom I can refer.

• I encour­age clients to meet with or inter­view me prior to hir­ing me.

• I am upfront about my fees and pro­ce­dures.  My clients under­stand how we will work together and what it will cost before they begin.

• Infor­ma­tion on income I derive from com­mis­sions, prod­uct sales, insur­ance pay­ments or other indi­rect sources related to a par­tic­u­lar client is will­ingly dis­closed to that client upon request.

• I resolve dis­putes or dis­agree­ments with my clients directly and promptly.

• I work in coop­er­a­tion with oth­ers toward com­mon goals.

• I col­lab­o­rate with other mem­bers of my client’s well­ness team when appro­pri­ate and desired by the client.

If this sounds good to you, please tell your inter­ested friends and rel­a­tives. Stay tuned on my Face­book page.  Ask them to fol­low along on Face­book too.

In my next post I’ll write to you Well­ness Pro­fes­sion­als to explain in more detail the ben­e­fits of being a Pro­fes­sional Mem­ber.
