Description: I'm a Naturopathic Doctor and Holistic Nutritionist, in the St. Louis Area of Missouri. I've found that there is a big need for my services, some because of religion, some just because we are better educated and there is more information available to people in regards to taking care of their health. I've also found that it is very hard to get quality supplies, ingredients, so forth. I believe and have found out through talking to people in this area, that people want better care for themselves and their families, they want better food, they don't want the toxins, and "Frankenstein" foods we get in our markets, and they want convenience. They want to be able to get all of this close to them. They are already traveling to other states to get it, with today's gas prices, they want it close to their home. I want to open a center where they can get all of this. The wellness Center has several components to it. It obviously has physician services; as well as a pharmacy where they can get the prescriptions, and supplements they need; it has a retail space where they can purchase natural products for the home, their families, as well as health and beauty, and groceries; it has a spa/treatment center where they can come and get a detox bath and a natural exfoliating facial peel; and in its diet center, it has a gym, classroom space, and prepared food service available; it has a cafe where patients and non patients can get a quality, nutritious meal; it has a manufacturing division because many of my products and formulas are proprietary so we manufacture a large portion of our products as well as import another large portion from China and make them available wholesale; finally it has an agriculture division, where we can grow our herbs needed, as well as foods, a large portion of foods for our market and cafe coming from local farmers, and all waste being turned into ethanol and sold back to farmers. A completely green company bringing health, nutrition, and a clean environment for our children today, tomorrow, and in the future for their children and grandchildren.
