Our Founding Principles

Wholistic

Wholistic

We are interested in helping you improve your well-being in every area of your life: physical, mental, and emotional. Though the three areas are often used to better diagnose issues; in truth, there is tremendous overlap. Our bodies, minds, and hearts are interrelated systems and should be treated as such. Systems thinking means we do not think in terms of isolated variables, but rather wholistically.

Proactive

When your brain is adequately fueled with all the nutrients and supplementation it needs, it can function at its highest capacity. On the other hand, a well-fueled brain does not “good thinking make.” You still need to learn to choose your thoughts wisely and have a healthy, proactive approach to your health.

Supportive

Agency is a psychological concept that simply describes the sense of control you believe you have over your life. Not surprisingly, that belief then translates to action and how much control you exercise over your own life and health. The more agency you feel, the more likely you are to take the initiative in meeting the demands of your health. That said, we don’t believe you should have to do it alone. Good tools and a good team are part of your support system.

Who We Are

Tamela

Tamela Townsend

Tamela has served as a mindset coach for over 30 years. Tamela’s areas of expertise are in the mental and emotional well-being arenas. She has two master’s degrees in the social sciences; one degree is from Harvard where her emphasis of study was positive psychology.

How to Create Change

Understanding your “why” has scientific backup as an important contributor to “why” people change. Maybe your motivation is your family, your future prospects, or the fear of what may happen if you don’t change. All of these are legitimate reasons and motivations for change. Since every person is different, every person’s “why” is also different. Helping you get to your “why” is my expertise.

“Neurons that fire together, wire together.” This means that joining a specific behavior with a specific thought repeatedly can create lasting change. This is much easier when there is a sound nutritional foundation. That is Sonjia’s expertise.
