Wellness is generally used to mean a healthy balance of the mind, body and spirit that results in an overall feeling of well-being. It has been used in the context of alternative medicine since Halbert L. Dunn, M.D. began using the phrase high level wellness in the 1950s. The modern concept of wellness did not, however, become popular until the 1970s.[1] – Wikipedia

The term has been defined by the Singapore-based National Wellness Association as an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a more successful existence. This is consistent with a shift in focus away from illness in viewing human health, typical of contexts where the term wellness is used. In other words, wellness is a view of health that emphasizes the state of the entire being and its ongoing development.

The Wellness Tribe is a group of persons; we like to consider ourselves a pretty large family with the common interest of changing the dynamics of our families, our community and our nation through a rewarding shift in all aspects of its wellness.  Using the vehicles of fitness and fun, The Wellness Tribe offers physical activity to promote a healthier and stronger body.  We also offer up alternative methods of eating, child-rearing, relationship and life enrichment as means for mental stimulation.

We choose to address issues of wellness preemptively, at the front-end, with first party accountability rather than reactively with third party liability and blame.  Hospitals‘ and doctors‘ tools are inadequate to provide us with the quality of LIFE we seek.  It is primarily through our pursuit of FUN/Happyness that we have and continue to know the pleasures of abundant living.
