Custom Health Plans

We will get to the root of your health issues, so you will begin to feel better, look better and live longer. We will customize a wellness plan for you - based on your unique needs and lifestyle. The Wellness Place is totally committed to your health and success.

Personal Attention

You can start with an initial health consultation, and then meet again regularly for about 45-60 minute sessions, while getting support between sessions. We will give you detailed follow-up recommendations and informative emails to support and encourage your health goals.

Drug-Free Healing

By treating the root causes of your health issues, we will help you put your diseases into remission without using pharmaceutical drugs. This approach will renew your body as an interconnected whole, and acknowledge the importance of these connections for unwinding disease and achieving optimal health.

You can heal your body.
You can feel vibrant and healthy.

Functional medicine is a map. It’s actually a way of navigating through the landscape of illness through mechanisms, not diseases. It’s actually personalized medicine.  It’s the medicine  that connects the dots between all the things that are going wrong in our biology.  It’s the medicine of why! It’s the medicine of the 21st century and it is here, for you and for me.  Getting to the root causes or underlying causes of any illness is the key to restoring optimal health, and
Betty McDonald L.Ac. can help you get there.

Why work with a Health Coach?

you feel stuck

You want to change, but you’ve struggled making your goals stick around long term. You are missing your vibrant old self. Life has become busy, and somewhere along the way, things have gotten out of balance. 

you feel like your body's trying to tell you something

You know something is feeling off, and you aren’t quite sure where to start. Maybe you’re more fatigued than you used to be, or you are experiencing joint pain, digestive issues, or other symptoms.

You've received a doctor's diagnosis

Your doctor has given you a label and asked you to make some lifestyle changes. You want a coach to listen to your story, offer support, and help you break things down into smaller action steps.

You're overwhelmed

You aren’t sure what to do with your health because there are so many people saying different things. You desire a coach to help you decipher the current research and determine what feels right for your unique body.

You're pregnant, want to be pregnant or experiencing post-partum 

Your women’s health care provider has asked you to make some lifestyle changes as you grow a new life or recover from giving birth. You want a coach that has personally gone through each of these stages and can support you as you implement healthy habits.

Wildly Satisfied Clients

N0 MORE PAIN and MUCH HEALTHIER

Betty McDonald, the operator and therapist at The Wellness Place, is a wonderful and very caring individual. I was referred to Betty and The Wellness Place a little over a year ago by the workers compensation doctors for severe pain relief and relaxation through acupuncture. 

 

 My original treatment schedule was two visits a week for 6 weeks. The pain relief was almost immediate and I discontinued oral pain relievers within the first month of visiting Betty.

 

  Once the original 6 week treatment was completed, she suggested many lifestyle changes to be included in my Wellness Journey. We have worked on changing my diet to a more plant-based menu and have included daily vitamins and supplements.

 

With the help of Betty and her lifestyle suggestions I have lost over 50 lbs and my blood pressure cholesterol and more importantly, my blood sugar is now in the normal range. I cannot thank Betty enough for her passion and making me feel great again.  Thank you Betty for everything you do.
