It could be something as small as trying out a new restaurant and discovering the love of a new cuisine, or as monumental as attending your first ballet as a child and deciding to devote your life to dance.
Experiences shape us as people.
A 2009 San Francisco State University study showed that people who spent money on experiences were happier with their purchases than those who bought material things. They found greater vitality, both during the experience and in reflecting about it afterward.
At Creative Wellness, we are in the business of creating experiences. Making sure that each person who comes through our doors has an experience that will change the shape of their day, week, and sometimes even their entire life.
We have the joy of seeing people come out of their appointments after experiencing an hour or more of one-on-one care. Sometimes they are starry- eyed, sometimes with a hint of a smile, and always with an overwhelming sense of peace and relief.
Through the years we’ve heard countless stories of stress that went untreated for decades, or pain that was masked for longer than people care to remember.
The stories we hear are inspiring. We hear about cancer survivors who schedule an appointment with us to be perfectly in sync with their chemotherapy appointments, because the only way for them to get relief from the side effects of their treatment is a visit to our center.
We’ve seen tears in the eyes of patients as they walk out of their appointment standing taller than when they entered our door a mere hour before.
Sometimes, we hear about clients who say that the only way they can maintain their current employment is with a
Some of our stories include helping people achieve better health so that they can go out and experience life as they wouldn’t be able to otherwise. Former athletes, who still want to experience a life filled with physical activity, find they are able to keep up with a regular routine because of their monthly visit to our center.
Our clients have some unforgettable stories about the power of Acupuncture. We have clients who have suffered in silence and gone without a solid night sleep for 20 years, who the morning after an acupuncture treatment called us with a heartfelt thank you for providing the relief they have been searching for.
And our Chiropractors could fill novels, not only with the sheer number of patients they help, but with their success stories in helping people find relief from pain.
We hear stories of an entire group being affected by our well-being classes. Groups of people who get together on a regular basis to experience the joyful, healing movement found in NIA, Yoga, and other classes.
A trend among many of our success stories is that many people first entered through our doors with a gift certificate in hand. A gift certificate that was given to them by a co-worker, a boss, a family member, or a friend. Sometimes gift certificates are purchased for holidays, birthdays, and other milestones. But we sell many throughout the year that are given out of pure goodwill by a caring person who knows that a visit to our center is unlike any other experience around.
What if by the simple act of gift giving, you had the power to help or change someone’s life? As you enter the holiday season and prepare your gift giving lists, consider an experiential gift from Creative Wellness. We have gift certificates in any dollar amount, and you can go online anytime to order at www.creativewellness.net.
