National Wellness Institute

I can’t talk about wellness without mentioning the National Wellness Institute (NWI).  I was looking for an organization of people passionate about wellness and found a home here!  I was not an exercise coach, a registered nurse, or a massage therapist, but always liked hanging out with people in this space! I found everyone to be a natural teacher! I decided to join several years ago, and it was one of my best decisions to spend my time with like-minded folks.

NWI is the official voice of the wellness community.  This amazing Stevens Point, Wisconsin association is a leader in professional development and supports individuals from a wide variety of disciplines promoting whole-person wellness.  I enjoy continuing education classes, webinars on key issues, and opportunities to network with wellness-based professionals and true believers.

NWI addresses six dimensions of wellness developed by Dr. Bill Hettler, co-founder of the NWI.  I wanted to share their popular wheel.  NWI states that by focusing on wellness, we build resiliency and thrive as we face life’s challenges. 

Other organizations offer similar wheels and/or speak to a broader spectrum of dimensions in wellness. No matter how I look at life, I still return to my first introduction. Enjoy.

NWI Bill Hettle, MD, Co-Founder
