Our Mission
Women in Wellness improves the health of all women by promoting the ability to rediscover the inner wisdom, strength, and courage inside each one of us. Women in Wellness works to inspire us to lead balanced lives guided by our heartfelt goals, dreams, and visions.
Our Vision
Women in Wellness is committed to advancing women's health by working toward these long-term goals:
- Ensuring that women have a safe place to speak out loud about their concerns related to their current place in life and their desires for change, knowing that they are truly being listened to
- Enhancing the ability of women to recognize their bodies’ signs and symptoms as teachers before illness is apparent
- Dispelling the negative stereotypes and myths that are inherited and perpetuated about women’s bodies and women’s health
- Promoting self-knowledge by providing up-to-date information and learning opportunities
- Creating a valuable experience that makes a difference in the lives of women and the people they contribute to
To accomplish these goals we must first create a welcoming treatment space where our clients can have the best possible experience. Each session includes conversation, acupuncture, and other ancient healing techniques that are coordinated specifically for each woman and her current goals. The relationship created between client and practitioner is one of partnership, not superiority. We educate ourselves and share with our clients the latest information available from leading women’s health organizations. We honor the diversity of learning styles by providing access to written information, individual sessions, and group workshops.
Our Values
Women in Wellness has established core values to guide us in our work as promoters of women’s health:
- We believe that change is a natural part of life and how we interact with it determines illness.
- We value women's descriptions of their own experiences and believe that treatment should reflect the diversity of women's experiences.
- We value the partnership between Western and Eastern medicine.
- We believe women hold invaluable roles and deserve to be honored in society.
- We value the creation of balance in life that includes all that is truly important to us.
- We value the connection between women’s health and the cycles of the Earth and Moon.
- We believe that all the tools necessary to lead the fulfilled life of our dreams are already inside us.
- We believe that the philosophies of ancient medical cultures have a critical place in the promotion of wellness.
