Achieve Optimal Wellness with Harkness Wellness Center

Nutrition is far more involved then calories in and calories out. Here at the Harkness Wellness Center we help guide you to build a plan that is best for your lifestyle. Whether it is for losing weight, recovering from an illness, injury, surgery or learning to eat healthy for longevity we want to ensure that the strategy you agreed-upon is right for you. For example, if you dine out often, or you have very limited free time, a plan that requires you to cook at home won’t be a good fit.  We may need to tweak your plan or approach based on feedback from you regarding your results and how you’re feeling.  Follow-ups are also an opportunity to ask questions, prepare for challenging situations, learn about new tools, resources, or products, and feel supported.  A one time visit can’t possibly offer everything you need to succeed. We work with clients through office visits, by phone, email, and even texting.  Communications is a good way to keep on track with your progress. Sometimes our clients will text or phone us from a supermarket or a restaurant with a question or a text from a “get together” to ask which party fare is best.  In our practice we work towards helping you achieve your goals.

Nutrition counseling doesn’t always mean just talking about food. I often find myself talking to clients about issues related to food that go beyond nutrition. For some that means a lack of support or even sabotage from their significant other, friends or family. Others feel that their job, workplace, or community get in the way of following through with healthy changes. Many of my clients struggle with emotional eating.  In many cases my role is to help coach to through what gets in the way of following my advice. In other words, if you were “good” all day, and wound up binge eating while binge watching Netflix, don’t be afraid to talk about it.

Our practice offers individual counseling as well as family counseling and we also have programs for companies that wish to offer wellness options for their employees.

Hair, like all other body tissues, contains minerals that are deposited as the air grows. Although the Harris dead, minerals remain as they hair continues to grow out.
