❓What does 'Optimal Wellness' look like to you?

❓What does 'Optimal Wellness' look like to you?

🌱At GWI, we take a holistic approach to wellness.

💡If you're new to Holistic Health, it's actually a specific approach to life...

🌿Rather than focusing on illness or specific parts of the body, this ancient approach to health considers the whole person and how they interact with their environment. It emphasizes the connection of mind, body, and spirit.

💡The principles of holism have been around since the time of Hippocrates, 2500 years ago and even earlier than the eastern healing traditions of Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine.

🌟Our Optimal Wellness members receive a customized approach to their own personal wellness plan; this membership includes access to unlimited yoga classes, and VIP rates on services: massage therapy, holistic life coaching, floatation therapy & more.

❓Are you ready to reach your wellness goals? Come visit us at GWI, or contact us to Learn more at 910-864-6257.

🎉 P.S. Teachers, Military, and First Responders receive a VIP Optimal Wellness Membership rate!

❓️ Are you ready to restore balance in your mind and body?

🌿 If so, it's about time you tried Floatation therapy!

💡In 2016, Guiding Wellness Institute opened the first Float Suite in Fayetteville, NC and conducted a year long evidence-based medical research study for the Department of Defense.

🌿 Outcomes from the study informed the effective protocols we use today, as well as the military wide long-term care supporting active duty service members and veterans.

Here's just a few benefits of floatation therapy:

✅ Reduces stress & supports overall balance
✅ Stimulates mental clarity and alertness
✅ Relieves pain, increases endorphins
✅ Boosts immune function
✅ Reduces blood pressure, pulse and heart rate
✅ Improves athletic performance by preventing sport injuries, speeding the healing/recovery process

✉️ You're invited to our next Rolf Movement & Meditation workshop!

🧘Whether you struggle with chronic pain and soreness, lack of mobility, or are simply seeking a better understanding of how to move with more ease in your body, this is for you.

🌿We've heard from clients who've tried physical therapy, chiropractic, and other modalities, and yet their symptoms still persisted, until they discovered Rolfing.

Rolfing reorganizes the connective tissues in the body, bringing your body back to balance through myofascial release.

Rolfing can successfully:
✅ alleviate chronic pain,
✅ improve range of motion,
✅address different types of headaches.

👋Meet Mike! Mike’s 20+ years of unique bodyw

👋Meet Mike!

Mike’s 20+ years of unique bodywork experience allows him to view each unique client’s body as a puzzle of relatable intricacies waiting to be solved. He had a curiosity about how his own body worked and wound up joining a martial arts class. He was hooked and quickly realized how moving in non-linear ways often reduced pain and began integrating a new sense of wholeness in his own body. A short time later he needed to learn more and applied to National University of Health Sciences in Lombard, IL to begin a career in massage therapy.

Having a massage practice brought about a dual sense of integration; his techniques began helping people reduce pain and he was feeling better in his own body while doing the work. Mike continued working on clients and also began developing stretching and exercise protocols clients could use to further their healing. That still wasn’t enough! Mike found Rolfing Structural Integration™ when a visit to his Rolfer fixed chronic mid-back pain; by working on his ankle! He was so intrigued he found a way to make it to the school that year. A career in Structural Integration has allowed Mike to view the way your body moves through many different lenses.

In his practice, Mike can watch you walk and see where you are compensating, even if that is not the area that hurts. He blends soft and firm techniques along with movement reeducation to bring about profound changes in posture and movement. Sometimes this is uncomfortable and it should never hurt. Mike will find a way to deactivate your nervous system and help you let go of patterns that may not suit you anymore.

He also practices Rolf Movement™ which reestablishes more efficient ways of moving and gives you tools you can use any time your symptoms come back. Mike uses his integrated body to enjoy yoga, mountain biking and hiking throughout forests, mountains and beaches.
