An integrative, holistic, individualized approach to wellness because we believe in doing things right.
Welcome!
Wellness Club was created, because we believe in an integrative approach and a complex collaborative treatment.
Decades of experience working with injuries and limitations and many successful stories and amazing transformations taught us a few valuable truths:
1. There is NO QUICK FIX
2. Our limits are much FURTHER THAN WE THINK
3. The physical body is a genius, self-curing and ever-changing entity, and it is also a projection of one's inner self: mind, soul, karmic history and spirit; and of the entire universe around us. If we are looking for long-term results - it's best to address all aspects of our being.
At Wellness Club our highly knowledgeable and talented specialists work as a TEAM to help you find your unique path to physical and spiritual healing.
Welcome to the Club!
