Wellness Professionals Bring Holistic Medicine To Lakewood

We are reaching a time in history when our children will likely not outlive their parents. Statistics indicate that the obesity epidemic is claiming more than 300,000 lives each year. Type II diabetes, once only seen in adults is now diagnosed in children at alarming rates.

It is clear that we must prioritize wellness in order to heal the chronic physical and emotional ailments in our society. Yet, the media sends mixed messages on how to reach the elusive goal of “health.” Each week, a new product, diet or expert claims to have the one and only answer.

But there is hope… Holistic Lakewood, a wellness center specializing in lifestyle medicine, opens on December 6 at 15217 Madison Avenue. Wellness professionals Annamarie Pamphilis and Rachel Anzalone are teaming up to provide client care, workshops, classes and weight loss programming for the community.

Pamphilis has served as director of The Health and Balance Institute in Westlake for the past two years and is very excited about relocating her practice to Lakewood. She has 16 years of experience as a clinical health care practitioner and is certified as a Doctor of Naturopathy. She is also a Registered Dental Hygienist, Master Herbalist, Reiki Practitioner and Ordained Minister. She firmly believes in a patient-centered approach to improving health and managing chronic illness and feels it is important to “give you [the client] the tools and the knowledge to help you make better choices in helping you achieve your optimal healthy best, naturally, holistically.” Her areas of interest include diabetes and heart disease prevention and hormone health.

Anzalone is a Certified Natural Health Professional, Master Herbalist, Certified LiveWell Coach and a Healthy for Life Team Leader who will soon have her Doctorate in Traditional Naturopathy. After 15 years in hospitality management, Anzalone started her own business in September of 2010. Her specialties include adrenal fatigue, hormone balance support and weight loss. In addition to her work as a Naturopath, Anzalone coaches other Holistic Practitioners in their businesses through structured coaching sessions and online classes. She is active in the community as a member of Live Well Lakewood.

With varying specialties and backgrounds in natural medicine, these women are prepared to address any number of health challenges you might be facing. Anzalone explains, “Our bodies were designed to heal themselves. We help the body to be as healthy as possible so that it has all the tools to do so.”
