Dr. WellnessRx

Enhancing YOUR "Quality of Life."

The Mission of Dr. WellnessRx is to develop the most comprehensive, personalized, evidence based wellness programs for apparently healthy individuals and worksite wellness that enhances the quality of an individual's life, reduces medical needs and are delivered in a professional, holistic fashion that sets the standard for providing care in the wellness industry. 

The Vision of Dr. WellnessRx is to provide best in class health promotion services to apparently healthy people wishing to improve the quality of their lives and personal wellbeing using health theories and models to develop, implement and evaluate personalized behavior change programs, whether they be for individuals, worksite programs, public speaking & education or consulting services. 

Hey!! Thanks for stopping by, you'll be glad you did!!  Here's why! 

Dr. WellnessRx programs are powered by research based, health promotion theories and models designed to change behaviors and improve people's health status and "Quality of Life " no matter what the chronic health issue is.  Dr. WellnessRx does not use guesswork nor routinized programs to develop behavior change protocols. Rather, The Dr. uses the Stages of Change Model, PRECEDE/PROCEED (The most powerful theoretical model out there), Intervention Mapping and a number of personal assessments involving ones Self-esteem, Self-efficacy, Locus of Control and others to generate unique and personalized wellness programs for individual clients and business worksites.

Understanding these aforementioned elements of a person or business and then using them to develop the foundation of an evidence based behavior change program is the key to successful Health Coaching.  And to generate this "success" for clients every time, it is my job as an expert to take the "wellness knowledge" I have and bring it into my clients world, lifestyle and thought process. I cannot expect to bring that person into the realm of "wellness" with their unique perspectives and habits on life and believe they will conform to a new lifestyle forever. It doesn't work that way, yet most health "experts"  try and do exactly that!!!! No you can't eat pizza or burgers (but what if I like them?). No, you can't drink beer or wine (I like that too)! No to this and no to that gets old and on top of it, you must exercise everyday or else!! This method of lifestyle change is doomed to failure and will never work long term. Just ask yourself, "How many times have I tried to champion a new health habit (New Years resolutions come to mind??) and not been successful?"  It is not because your effort was poor, it was because your effort was misguided and the desired goals you strove for were gone about using the wrong resources, that's all. If you have gone down that road before, check out my "12 Weeks to Wellness" tab to see a video series on my philosophy and practices to enhance personal wellness. I believe it will be a philosophy you can buy into yourself.

Dr. WellnessRx has the solutions for all well-intended efforts that have fallen short and like I said before, my WellnessRx is developed using health promotion theories and models that have been proven to be the fundamental keys for successful, lifelong behavior change. I will customize your "Wellness Body Makeover" to generate a maximum ability for you to permanently change lifestyle habits and improve the quality of your life.   This process applies very well in the Worksite setting also. So........

Contact me for more information about Dr. WellnessRx and all the programs available to you or your worksite business.  Seriously folks, together, we can change lives! I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Healthfully Yours,
