Wellness Center, how do I love thee?  Let me count the ways:

You are spotless and upscale.
Your Physical Therapists are excellent.
In fact, every staff member is outstanding- friendly and professional.
You offer an excellent selection of fitness classes.

Nutrition is a key element in your health and wellness journey. The Registered Dietitian (RD) has extensive experience in helping individuals achieve their health goals.
A wide range of programs and services are available, including:
  • Individual nutrition counseling for all ages – spend one-on-one time with the Registered Dietitian to individualize a meal plan for weight management, learn about good nutrition and provide follow-up focused on nutrition behavior change. Children under 14 need to be accompanied by an adult. Counseling for couples is also available.
  • WIN program for weight management – a unique, health-professional-led group program focused on lifestyle change to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. WIN combines weekly nutrition education and group exercise sessions in a supportive, motivating environment. 
  • Resting Metabolic Rate Testing (RMR) – Learn exactly how many calories you need to consume each day with this medically-based breath test, then have an individualized meal plan developed for you by the Registered Dietitian.
  • Monthly nutrition lectures on a wide variety of nutrition topics.

Follow my blog, I will travel with my trainer to many places, meet humans, as I make them smile and bring a cheery gift in the form of my gentle affection.

The Secret to Happiness The meaning of life is to live it. The secret to a happy dog is to help her live a fulfilled life. That means she actively participates in it. She plays, goes places, and does things. Basically, the secret to a happy dog is not much different at all from the secret to a happy person. Do dogs have a sense of self-esteem?
