Reimagining Wellness: The Story Behind Simply Healthy’s New Identity
There’s a group of people I’ve come to know well over the years, and I call them the “health homeless.”
They’re the ones who feel stuck between two extremes in the healthcare world. On one side is traditional medicine: prescriptions for every symptom, dismissive doctors telling them, “Your labs are fine,” and a system that often feels like it’s designed to shuffle you in and out as quickly as possible. On the other side is the ultra-crunchy wellness world: coffee enemas, raw liver smoothies, and practices that feel overwhelming, unapproachable, or like they’re not made for someone just trying to figure out where to start.
What if neither end of the spectrum feels like the right place for you?
That’s exactly why I created Simply Healthy Integrative Wellness - to be the safe space, comfortably in the middle. Our mission hasn’t changed at all and our name is more reflective of that now while we reaffirm our commitment to our mission - better health for every body.
What It Means to Be “Health Homeless”
Imagine this: you’ve been feeling “off” for months. You’re tired all the time, bloated, you can’t think straight, your weight is creeping up, and you’ve had migraines that make it hard to function. You finally make an appointment with your doctor, only to leave the office with another prescription, no answers, and a vague sense that they weren’t really listening.
So, you try to take matters into your own hands. You start Googling symptoms and exploring holistic health options. That’s when you’re hit with a tidal wave of information. You find practitioners who talk about mouth taping, cold plunges, and cutting-edge protocols - but they don’t feel accessible, and some of the advice feels… intimidating.
You’re stuck between two worlds, unsure of who to trust, where to turn, or how to even begin taking care of your health in a way that feels right for YOU.
You don’t fit neatly into either camp, and that can leave you feeling like you don’t belong anywhere.
But you do belong. And that’s why Simply Healthy Integrative Wellness exists.
A Safe Place in the Middle
At Simply Healthy Integrative Wellness, there isn’t one strict set of rules you need to follow. There’s no checklist of extremes you have to meet, and no one-size-fits-all solution for your health.
Instead, our approach is about meeting you where you are and working with you to create a plan that feels right for YOU.
You won’t hear me saying, “Run from all vaccines!” or shaming you for the choices you’ve made. One of my clients came to me during her pregnancy, feeling overwhelmed by all the conflicting advice about vaccinations for her baby. She didn’t want to be judged or pressured - she just wanted to feel confident in her decision. Together, we worked through the information and created a plan that aligned with her values.
That’s what Simply Healthy is about. It’s not about extremes. It’s about creating a space where you feel heard, supported, and guided every step of the way.
Filling the Gap
Navigating the middle ground isn’t easy. Unlike traditional medicine, where insurance networks and primary care referrals guide you, the world of integrative health doesn’t come with a nice, tidy list of practitioners covered by your plan. It’s up to you to do the research, make the calls, and figure out who you can trust to help you feel better.
It’s overwhelming, intimidating, and sometimes exhausting. And that’s why I created the Find Your Ideal Integrative Health Practitioner Quiz.
This free tool is designed to help you cut through the noise and focus on what really matters. It walks you through the most important questions:
What are your biggest health priorities?
How much support do you need?
What kind of communication style fits you best?
By the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of what to prioritize and how to find a practitioner who aligns with your goals and values.
Why This Work Matters
I know how frustrating it is to feel like no one’s listening or to be dismissed by a healthcare system that doesn’t see the whole picture. I also know how overwhelming it is to navigate the wellness world when it feels like the solutions are too extreme or inaccessible.
That’s why we’re here: to bridge the gap, to help you feel empowered in your health decisions, and to walk alongside you as a partner in your journey.
You deserve a healthcare approach that’s proactive, compassionate, and tailored to YOU. You deserve a space where you don’t feel dismissed or judged. And you deserve to feel Simply Healthy.
