About Us - Awakened Actions | Mind-Body Wellness

Why Integrative Care?

Awakened Actions’ Integrative care brings conventional and complementary approaches together in a coordinated manner to treat you beyond your symptoms alone to heal body, mind and spirit.
We emphasize multimodal interventions (2+ interventions) including conventional health care through nutritional therapy (i.e., food as medicine) and psychological approaches like Pain Reprocessing Therapy.
We use complementary health approaches (e.g., yoga and meditation) in various combinations for holistic mind-body medicine based solutions that not only help to relieve chronic symptoms, but also increase quality of life and well-being.

Why Awakened Actions’ Approach Works!

Awakened Actions emphasizes treating the whole person rather than just your symptoms.
Our integrative medicine based approach aims for well-coordinated care among our specialized practitioners. We also always take into account your primary care providers and institutions by bringing conventional and complementary approaches together to care for you as a whole person.
We partner with clients and listen deeply to understand what you need to heal body, mind and spirit.

There is an important aspect of healing that is increasingly difficult to come across… and that is hope.

Adam and Ashley not only walk you through Nutrition and Reprocessing Therapy with compassion and expertise, but they also truly believe that you can put their words into action and see a difference.

Ashley helped me overcome a complex nutrition issue by educating me on nutrition and brainstorming ways I could make large and impactful diet and lifestyle changes. Each week she was not only my most caring educator but also my biggest cheerleader. She takes actions that seem insurmountable and makes them easy to understand and implement in my daily life.

Adam helped me overcome strong mindsets that were limiting my healing and my ability to live a fulfilling life. His Reprocessing Therapy has made a lasting impact on how I live with chronic illness and has opened so many doors for the future that I’ve never even thought possible.

When you need help, it’s one thing to seek out professional expertise but it’s another to find experts who believe that you can and will feel better.

Thankfully Adam and Ashley excel in both.
