Our Story
We were motivated to join the non-profit arena after realizing the role nutrition plays in a person’s health and by living a healthy lifestyle chronic disease are preventable. “We didn’t choose this profession; it chose our entire team. After our own learning experience it was the realization that we could not sit back and do nothing as we watch people of our culture become the unhealthiest people in the world.
Our team came together working direct sales; this career focused on business growth and team development. The non-profit startup utilized the same skill set. In 2010 our team was putting together a plan for worksite wellness in the corporate arena. Those plans changed after realizing the group of people we were most passionate about helping were not in the corporate world. In a single moment we found ourselves forming a non-profit.
The focus was always to operate and own our firm but never imagined it would lead to a not-profit in wellness. We have been exceedingly fortunate for the exposure to business-specific training programs offered by the company we were affiliated with over the years.
