Mission
We strive to help you improve your quality of life, activate and achieve your wellness goals, and heal your body to live your best life possible.
Our Interventions are Science-based
Significant life and traumatic events such as divorce, loss of a partner or being injured in a car accident correlate with a high rate of sleep deprivation and insomnia which often goes undiagnosed and untreated (Cartwright et al., 1991). The American Sleep Apnea Association states 50 - 70 million people in the United States experience some form of sleep disorder or disruptions, and 60% of the population sleep less than 5-6 hours nightly (Colten, 2006). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that 70% of adults report insufficient sleep at least a few times a month; 11% report inadequate sleep every night, which leads to sleep disorders (2009) and is bad for health. Evidence-based sleep products can assist with sleep related issues and improve well-being.

The Research
Lifestyle habits (e.g., drinking alcohol before sleep) and unfavorable sleep habits, such as sleeping less than six hours per night, influence health performance and high work demands, and irregular schedules decrease sleep quality (Lemola et al., 2013; Peretti-Watel et al., 2009). Other causal factors of sleep deprivation include pain caused by unmanaged physical exertion, a significant contributor to sleep disturbance (Marilisaraccoglobal, 2017; Tsuno et al., 2005).
