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.
