Every manager knows that a healthy team is not only productive but is also creative. Optimum performance depends on wellness, which depends on a healthy lifestyle -- including exercise, stress reduction and optimum nutrition.

Research shows a healthy company benefits with lower insurance premiums, reduced absenteeism, improved morale and greater productivity. People win and the Company wins.

First Line Therapy Model

We designed our program using the First Line Therapy model to develop healthy, productive workers. This program incorporates teaching and coaching methods designed to provide the deep understanding necessary to make healthy, lifestyle changes-- Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes.

This is NOT a diet class. It blends nutritional knowledge and scientific information with guided imagery, designed for total body-mind learning.

Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes:

• Stimulate Employee Health
• Increase Productivity
• Improve Attendance
• Advocated by the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Association, the American Diabetic Association, the National Institute of Health and others

This is the first line of therapy before medication and other treatment. Experience with this program has shown :
• Lower cholesterol levels
• Lower glucose levels
• Stress reduction
• Increased energy levels
• Lowering/eliminating medications (in partnership with doctors).


"The findings clearly show that many patients who have conventional risk factors for coronary heart disease can achieve goal levels without medications within 12 weeks of initiating therapeutic lifestyle changes.”



Typically, a First Line Therapy program consists of 12 weeks of one hour sessions, with two additional four hour segments during those 12 weeks. The program can be held on or off-site.Tuition is calculated on class size and level of customization.
