A ONE-STOP SHOP FOR HOLISTIC WELLNESS

In today’s medical world, specialties are fragmented. Back pain prompts a call to the chiropractor. Emotional pain connects one to a psychotherapist. Working out involves purchasing a gym membership. Becoming beautified ties one to a beauty salon. Wouldn’t it be nice if only one phone call could resolve multiple health issues? Very Well KC is just that.

“Most health issues aren’t isolated issues,” explains Emily Hart, co-owner of Very Well KC. “They are complex and need to be looked at from many different angles so the root cause can be addressed and a true healing journey can begin.”

Hart says that in a time where physical, mental, and spiritual health are more important than ever, they strive to help people facilitate taking control of their health in a proactive, holistic approach. “Our practitioners and healers care deeply about the work they do and the care they offer. Our goal as a collective is to work as a unit to maximize healing for our community. Having multiple holistic modalities

under one roof is crucial for this to be a success,” explains Hart.

What exactly is under this roof? Yoga classes, meditation classes, and wellness workshops. Chiropractors, physical therapists, psychotherapists, and massage therapists. Members can also be guided through a medical weight loss journey and nutrition classes. Medical aestheticians also work under this roof and offer multiple services, including Botox injections, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, facials, pore cleansing, moisturizing treatment, and spray tans.

“Customers can expect to feel at home here. This isn’t a doctor’s office; it’s more like a spa, but one that feels as cozy as your living room,” says Hart. “You can pick up some healing crystals in our retail area, relax in our ‘living room’ while enjoying cucumber lemon-infused water, tea, or local coffee, add in a midday meditation, or join in one of our multiple yoga classes while you wait for your facial, massage, or therapy appointment.”

One customer explains that if you’ve been looking for a one-stop shop for healing, wellness, and energy, this is your place. “The retail is absolutely perfect, the staff is beyond amazing and the entire place is so beautiful and cozy, you’ll want to hang out for hours.” Another customer adds, “I’ve been dreaming of a place just like

this. Having the ability to go somewhere and get all the wellness services I might need at one place is so essential. They offer so many things and the membership is a must!”

Memberships are available and provide a discount to all offered services. “We want our members to understand that they have power over their health. By joining a loving community like Very Well KC, you are joining a family of like-minded individuals who want to help you learn, grow, and feel better, “says Hart.

An In-Depth Look at Some Offered Services

Talk Therapy or Psychotherapy: Talk therapists are certified, trained professionals who have been educated in areas of psychology. This can cover family patterns, relational dynamics, as well as general human behavior. Some newer areas in the field include attachment patterns, neurobiology, and trauma.

It is explained that healing happens in the mind, body, and soul through dedication and persistence. “If you feel you have experienced issues involving anxiety, depression, lack of motivation/purpose, and/or spiritual confusion, then you have come to the right place! In our oneon-one sessions, we will come up with a plan that works best for you to help you break through areas in your life where you feel stuck.”

Physical Therapy: Physical therapists are trained professionals to help you assess your body’s condition. Their goal is to help you regain maximal functional mobility and independence. One technique used is dry needling, also known as trigger point dry needling.

Medical Weight Loss: Medical weight loss is the proactive management of diet, fitness, and healthy behaviors conducted by a physician. These programs often include comprehensive metabolic testing and medical diagnostics to monitor physiological shifts during the course of a program.

Hart concludes, “We invite you to experience healing the Very Well KC way. Our experienced practitioners, healers, coaches, and passionate educators are ready to join you on your wellness journey.”
