Guiding Philosophy

Lyssa understands that true health is so much more than the absence of illness. It is feeling strong, sleeping well, nourishing your body with beneficial foods and thoughts; it is balance and happiness, peace of mind, and the ability and desire to engage with work, friends and family. It is living in a body that feels right, that takes you where you want to go and allows you to do what you want to do.

Wellness is knowing that from the inside out, your cells, organs, hormones, and systems are functioning optimally. It is aging well, building resilience, maintaining energy, and knowing how to prevent or mitigate future health problems. It is meeting the inevitable challenges and stressors of life with grace and confidence. It is knowing when to ask for help and allowing others to support you. Achieving and maintaining optimal health is a lifelong endeavor, and it is not easy! And, it’s one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.
