There are 5 Areas of Life that make up our overall wellness. There is a significant interrelationship between each of the 5 Areas of Life. The more harmony there is between these elements, the happier and healthier we feel.
The 5 Areas of Life are:
- Our physical form. Our body is made up of many components and systems that need to work together smoothly for optimal health.
- Our vitality and passion. Every cell in our body uses chemical energy to channel our actions.
- Our conscious and unconscious thoughts that influence imagination, perception, thinking, judgment, language and memory. It’s these decisions that control our behavior.
- Our emotional state that influences our actions. Being able to acknowledge it and change it takes practice and patience, but it can be life-changing.
- Our connection with and belief in “something bigger” than ourselves. The essence of our “being”, or soul. We have the choice to acknowledge it; accept it, and ride the wave of life or to ignore it and try to become someone we’re not.

We do not typically issue refunds for live video chat appointments. However, there may be extraordinary circumstances in which a wellness user asks for a refund.
