Wellness is far more than the absence of illness...Wellness requires the ability to adapt to changes imposed by the world surrounding us, as well as to changes that come from within us. Once our ability to adapt to change and maintain balance is compromised, we become vulnerable to disease.

Though Western medicine often controls the symptoms of a health problem, it less often deals with the underlying source of those symptoms. There is no substitute for Western medicine's strengths, but complementary health modalities can address causes of health issues and thus may avoid the need for further ameliorative treatment.

Marybeth Keener concentrates on nutrition, exercise, acupuncture / massage therapies and stress reduction as the avenues to increased vitality. With over 20 years of experience working with the nutrition, pharmaceutical, and commercial industries, Marybeth became interested in complementary health care over a decade ago after a full year of conventional Western medicine treatments failed to resolve her own health care crisis.

She turned to nutritional therapy, exercise, stress reduction techniques and therapeutic massage. When these approaches brought her improvement within 3 months - and an eventual return to wellness - Marybeth decided to become a practitioner of complementary health care modalities. Traveling, studying, and training in Europe and Asia, she learned the arts of accupressure, auricular therapy (ear accupuncture), therapeutic massage, nutritional therapy, medicinal herbs, exercise therapy, stress reduction techniques, yoga and Tai Qi.
