Even though Wellness Defined, LLC was started as recently as 2014, the organization was created with many years of experience in wellness research, evaluation, assessments, training, education, and program design in multiple areas of health and well-being. These experiences have included assisting individuals, groups, and organizations in accomplishing their wellness goals and objectives.

Today there is so much information regarding health and well-being that does not adequately integrate physical and psychological health. Moreover, numerous approaches specific to disease prevention and management are scientifically unproven, unaffordable, and difficult to incorporate into one’s lifestyle. Therefore, Wellness Defined, LLC was created to assist populations in becoming better self-managers in preventing and managing chronic diseases based on wellness research, evaluation, assessments, training, education and program design.

To provide comprehensive wellness research, evaluation, assessments, training, education and program design specific to improving the lives of diverse populations.

Disease prevention and management among diverse populations will be improved through comprehensive wellness research, evaluation, assessments, training, education and programming.

Integrity, empowerment, chronic disease self-management through lifestyle behavioral changes, nutrition for health, disease prevention, physical and psychological health and well-being, evidence-based wellness approaches, and innovative wellness research.
