the ethos of our practice
What is wellness?
Wellness is broadly defined as a state of physical, mental and social well-being.
There are, however, several domains of wellness:
- Physical
- Emotional
- Intellectual
- Environmental
- Spiritual
- Social
- Financial
- Occupational
Learning to manage these aspects of our lives is ultimately what determines our overall health and quality of life, otherwise termed as "wellness".
These domains are not mutually exclusive - they influence one another. For example, if you were to improve your physical state of health, this can positively impact your mental health.
Each of these domains are impacted by other factors in your life, some of which you are able to control and manipulate to benefit your overall state of wellness. Controllable factors include things like diet, exercise, sleep and stress levels.
Thus by working on the controllable factors in your life, you can enhance your overall state of wellness.
That's where we come in!
