About Us ~ Who is
"Discovering Family Wellness"?

Just to tell you a little bit about us:

Bryan and I met at Ashland Theological Seminary over 25 years ago when we entered the same Masters program. We earned our degrees in Pastoral Psychology and Counseling and Bryan later earned a Master of Divinity degree.

We didn't really know how to put it into words, but we were searching even then for healthy living solutions...

At any rate, I began my career as a mental health therapist and worked for 10 years with children, teens, and families. When we started adopting our children, we made the commitment for me to stay home with them.

Bryan has served as youth pastor and senior pastor at four different churches. Both pastors and counselors touch lives in all 7 dimensions of wellness ~ physical, relational, emotional, spiritual, societal, financial, and mental!

Through the years, Bryan and I also searched for natural and organic alternatives to various physical concerns...from menstrual cramps to high cholesterol [I'll let you guess who had which problem]!

During the course of our research, I talked with a friend about becoming a wellness coach with the Nikken company ... and it seemed like a natural complement to our journey!

Nikken began when one man - Isamu Masuda of Japan - began developing natural health and wellness alternatives for himself and his family. Nikken is a 30-year-old, global company with a 5 A1 Dun & Bradstreet rating. In other words, it's even more fiscally sound than Microsoft!

Through our education, occupations, and personal lives, we have learned a great deal about many aspects of wellness ~ and how they are interwoven!

But we didn't want all we've learned to be just about us...

After lots of prayer and discussion, we knew that our mission, our passion, is to share health and wellness with everyone we come in contact with...

...and we want to share with you what we've learned ~ personally and professionally ~ in the 7 dimensions of wellness:

• physical,
  
• relational,
  
• emotional,
  
• spiritual,
  
• social,
  
• financial, and
  
• mental!

It's overwhelming sometimes, isn't it?

Maybe you're asking:

"Where do we start with all this wellness stuff?"
"I hear so many opinions - who's right, who's wrong?"
"Everyday there's breaking news about toxins in our environment, what should I do to protect my family?"

Believe me, we've asked the same questions!

We came to realize that, as the old adage says - A Journey of 1000 Miles Begins with a Single Step!

Sometimes we also felt overwhelmed or unsure about which direction to head or which step to take....

...so we started reading, researching, and asking questions...

...and we would be honored to share what we have found out with you!

There are millions of health and wellness websites on the internet...many of them staffed by medical doctors and backed by hospitals and other "deep pockets"

Discovering Family Wellness is different ~ we're family-friendly and family-focused ~ we're just like you. A family sharing what is important to them to make the lives of their friends a little bit better!

We invite you to join us on this journey to bring balance to our families' health and wellness...

and one step at a time...

Discover Family Wellness....
