about sustainable health & wellness
What Is Sustainable Health & Wellness?
We are a beautiful, Naturopathic medical wellness center and apothecary located in the Avon Center Office Park on West Main Street in the heart of Avon, CT. We offer sustainable, holistic living services, products and practices that enhance vitality, and optimize personal health and planetary sustainability.
Who Is Behind Sustainable Health & Wellness?
We are headed by Dr Dana Lapointe, a naturopathic physician and 20-year veteran massage therapist. Dr Dana established her ND office and Massage Therapy practice within the Old Tariffville Mill in 2010, under the name Peace on Herbs, and then expanded her single practitioner office into a multi-practitioner wellness center in the same building, under the name Sustainable Health & Wellness in April 2012. The new center is located at 45 West Main Street, in Avon, right across from the Police Station.
What Is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathic medicine a branch of medicine specializing in natural healing methods, such as lifestyle counseling, herbal, nutritional, and homeopathic medicine, and body therapies.
What Does It Mean To Be "Sustainable"?
“Sustainable Health” refers to lifestyle habits that allow enduring individual and planetary wellness, and optimize an individual’s health and aging process. Sustainability encompasses the concepts of environmental and social responsibility, stewardship, and conservation. Achieving sustainability will enable the earth to continue supporting human life and biological diversity as we know it.
What Is Unique About Dr Dana's Practice?
Dr Dana is certified in Restorative Medicine and aims to actually restore function whenever possible. Her practice focuses on optimizing the aging process and regaining optimal health in chronic conditions like diabetes, obesity, and gastrointestinal disorders and allergies. Dr Dana practices functional endocrinology to address fertility concerns for both men and women, and works alongside medical doctors to orchestrate restorative thyroid treatment. Her bodywork sessions fall into the realm of advanced-practice and exercise therapeutics to address chronic pain, range of motion and postural issues. She has developed highly effective weight-loss, optimal weight maintenance and seasonal detoxification programs. Her herbal apothecary, Peace on Herbs, consists of carefully selected supplements, and organic herbs and herbal extracts, from which she often custom formulates her patient’s medicines. We aim to be the doctor’s office that entices you to linger a while and savor your surroundings and your community. Come visit with us!
What Else Do You Have To Offer At Sustainable Health & Wellness?
We offer expertise in Deep Tissue and Swedish Massage, Trigger Point Therapy, Reflexology, Reiki and more! Licensed Shiatsu, Thai Massage and Manual Lymphatic Drainage are available by advance arrangement. We offer Acupuncture sessions on an appointment-basis, as well as walk-in Community Acupuncture.
