Custom Health Plans
We will get to the root of your health issues, so you will begin to feel better, look better and live longer. We will customize a wellness plan for you - based on your unique needs and lifestyle. The Wellness Place is totally committed to your health and success.
Personal Attention
You can start with an initial health consultation, and then meet again regularly for about 45-60 minute sessions, while getting support between sessions. We will give you detailed follow-up recommendations and informative emails to support and encourage your health goals.
Drug-Free Healing
By treating the root causes of your health issues, we will help you put your diseases into remission without using pharmaceutical drugs.

You can heal your body.
You can feel vibrant and healthy.
Functional medicine is a map. It’s actually a way of navigating through the landscape of illness through mechanisms, not diseases. It’s actually personalized medicine. It’s the medicine that connects the dots between all the things that are going wrong in our biology. It’s the medicine of why! It’s the medicine of the 21st century and it is here, for you and for me. Getting to the root causes or underlying causes of any illness is the key to restoring optimal health, and
Betty McDonald L.Ac. can help you get there.

Why work with a Health Coach?
you feel stuck
You want to change, but you’ve struggled making your goals stick around long term. You are missing your vibrant old self. Life has become busy, and somewhere along the way, things have gotten out of balance.
you feel like your body's trying to tell you something
You know something is feeling off, and you aren’t quite sure where to start. Maybe you’re more fatigued than you used to be, or you are experiencing joint pain, digestive issues, or other symptoms.
You've received a doctor's diagnosis
Your doctor has given you a label and asked you to make some lifestyle changes. You want a coach to listen to your story, offer support, and help you break things down into smaller action steps.
You're overwhelmed
You aren’t sure what to do with your health because there are so many people saying different things. You desire a coach to help you decipher the current research and determine what feels right for your unique body.
You're pregnant, want to be pregnant or experiencing post-partum
Your women’s health care provider has asked you to make some lifestyle changes as you grow a new life or recover from giving birth. You want a coach that has personally gone through each of these stages and can support you as you implement healthy habits.
