R.E.A.L. Wellness: Selina Uglow, LPN, CPT has joined forces with Chef Billy Kuntz, ShopChopCook to educate and inspire individuals to return to their kitchen for good health measures in a dynamic and comprehensive six week program. The program addresses the “why” behind our choices in life and provides simple ways to incorporate small things in daily life that make big changes.
Each week covers a different focus to encourage small and simple changes in daily life for the adoption of a healthier lifestyle overall. Daily coaching helps to individualize this program by providing motivation and opportunity for support where needed in order to see the program to success.

Total Body Fitness for Everyone: Individualized exercise program instructed by Selina Uglow, LPN, CPT within a group setting that allows the opportunity for anyone interested in becoming more active to do it while reducing risk and enjoying themselves. Classes are offered in two locations for convenience.

Without using a lot of additional equipment, the base building exercises can be incorporated into day to day living for maximum benefits. Individuals who have a history of injury or pain receive particular attention from a neuromuscular nurse including modifications to reduce the risk of re-injury or exacerbation. Results can be seen in as little as four classes.

Wellness Coaching: Adopting a healthier lifestyle, weeding through all of the information that is available, figuring out how it fits into your lifestyle, and seeing it through is often extremely difficult for individuals to manage. Selina Uglow, LPN, CPT has come from 248 pounds to successfully maintaining a healthier lifestyle without drastic changes, sacrificing, and crazy exercises. Through her coaching services, she not only shows people how to do the same, she becomes their biggest cheerleader with daily support, weekly exercise, and sharing of various resources in nutrition, cooking, finance, attitude & positive perception, social services, etc so that individuals can succeed in moving towards optimal wellness.

Individuals who are seeking change don’t often follow through because of the various factors that come into play including family, expectations, support, etc. Working with a wellness coach helps adjust attitudes, change commitments and keep people motivated to adopt healthier habits in their real life situation. Coaching Services are based upon the Bread N’ Butter of Wellness; Balance, Rest, Exercise, Attitude & Diet.
