“Never before have I experienced such a dynamic learning process with concepts, practices, breakout groups and discussion around wellness practice, blended with using the arts for self-expression and social-emotional learning.“
— Tom Rivas, Videographer, Bauman Wellness Facilitator
Integrative Wellness education within a community setting is the missing link in our current treatment-based healthcare system. Dr. Bauman aims to teach people to develop simple wellness practices to increase energy, enhance mood, manage stress and build resilience. He has developed a comprehensive Integrative Wellness program that allows for emotional awareness and release to be expressed in a safe space. Most of us know what to do, but fail to do so, due to overwhelm and a lack of guidance and accountability. Integrative Wellness facilitates social learning as a key to personal growth, cultural sensitivity, and community building.
