Are you living with the vitality and energy you desire in your life?  Did you know that there is more to wellness than just exercising and eating well?  Though there are a number of different models used to represent wellness or well-being, each model represents wellness as a multi-faceted design and focuses on how each component relates to the other with the emphasis on wholeness. In this class, after gaining an understanding of a comprehensive wellness view in week one, subsequent weeks will explore each dimension in depth, paired with tips and actionable ways to improve your own wellness one dimension at a time.

Instructor Carin Dehmer has worked in the health and wellness field for more than 25 years, from fitness instructor to wellness strategist and worksite wellness. She has a bachelor's in biology/exercise science from Missouri State University and a master’s in health education from the University of Central Arkansas.
