The Spring wellness program kicked off in March with a pilot version of the “Moving into Wellness” assessment and life-balance program facilitated by Maxine Lowe.  Twelve adventurous participants responded to the call for wellness and stuck it out for 12 consecutive weeks!

Each person was required to do an online assessment in 12 key lifestyle areas: Self Responsibility & Love, Breathing, Sensing, Eating, Moving, Feeling, Thinking, Playing & Working, Communicating, Intimacy, Finding Meaning and Transcending to identify their areas of strength, satisfaction and the specific areas they were most motivated to change.

This was followed by personal coaching sessions to help them understand their assessment results and explore their “change readiness” in key areas, in addition to gaining personal insight into their state of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness.  Based on Dr. John Travis’ Wellness Energy System detailed in The Wellness Workbook, 12 interactive lunch ‘n’ learns were conducted at Fransen to educate, motivate and provide accountability for high levels of wellness.
