Who Belongs on Your Wellness Team?
Every winning team has different positions. Imagine if a football team only had quarterbacks—or if a band only had drummers. It wouldn’t work. The same is true when it comes to your health. One person or one approach isn’t meant to cover everything.
That’s why building a wellness team matters. Each member brings a unique skill set that helps you thrive physically, mentally, and emotionally. And just like any good team, the players work best when they’re connected, coordinated, and working toward the same goal: your health and balance.
Here in Sheboygan, we’re lucky to have an incredible community of providers who specialize in different areas of wellness. I want to share some of my favorite partners and resources so you can begin creating your own circle of care.
The Chiropractor: Your Foundation
At intūn ChiroCare, my role as a chiropractor is to look at the foundation of your body: your nervous system. Every cell, organ, and muscle relies on clear communication between your brain and body. When stress, misalignments, or daily life disrupt that connection, it can show up as tension, fatigue, poor sleep, or even emotional overwhelm.
Through scans, x-rays, and gentle, specific adjustments, I help restore balance to the nervous system so you can function and heal the way your body was designed. Think of this as the anchor of your wellness team—it strengthens everything else you’re doing.
The Nutritionist or Health Coach: Fuel for Your Body
What you put into your body affects how you feel every single day. A nutritionist or health coach helps uncover hidden food sensitivities, balance hormones, stabilize energy, and guide you toward simple, sustainable changes in the way you eat.
This month, I’m excited to highlight Andrea DuMez, a Registered Nurse, Certified Holistic Nutritionist, and National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach. Andrea has a gift for helping people uncover the root causes behind bloating, fatigue, stubborn weight, or hormonal ups and downs. She’s a valuable voice on any wellness team, especially for families who want to support their health through food and lifestyle.
Massage Therapy: Rest + Restore
When your body is stressed, your muscles often carry the weight of it—literally. Massage therapy is a powerful way to release tension, reduce pain, and bring your body back into a state of calm. What I love about the Sheboygan area is that we have so many incredible massage therapists, each with their own unique style:
The Zen Den – A space of deep relaxation and healing.
A Room to Breathe – Perfect for creating calm when life feels overwhelming.
Therapeutic Massage at Blend the Beauty Room – Blends therapeutic care with a spa-like experience.
Meridian Massage – Focused on restoring balance and flow in the body.
Each of these providers offers something special, but all are fantastic additions to a wellness team.
Acupuncture: Energy + Balance
Acupuncture has been around for thousands of years and is still one of the most effective ways to support the body’s natural balance. In Sheboygan, we are lucky to have two wonderful options:
Healthy Living Acupuncture – Supporting overall wellness, stress relief, and energy flow.
7 Stones Acupuncture – Known for personalized care and creating a healing environment.
Both can complement chiropractic beautifully by helping release built-up stress and supporting your body’s ability to heal.
Mental Health Support: Emotional Balance
Health isn’t just physical—it’s emotional. A counselor, therapist, or mental health coach can help you process life’s challenges, navigate stress, and develop tools to strengthen resilience. For parents, especially moms, having someone to talk to can be life-changing.
Locally, I recommend:
NoVu Counseling – Known for compassionate, individualized support for both adults and kids.
Greater Lakes Counseling – A trusted option here in Sheboygan, offering tools for emotional wellness and mental clarity.
When your emotional health is supported, you’re better able to show up for yourself and your family.
Movement Mentors: Keep It Joyful
Your body was made to move. But movement should never feel like punishment—it should feel like freedom. That’s where yoga teachers, Pilates instructors, or fitness trainers come in. They help you build strength, improve flexibility, and find movement you actually enjoy.
Here are some local favorites I love recommending:
Anchored Pilates – A supportive space for building core strength and confidence.
Core Connection Pilates – Focused on alignment and mindful movement.
Elevate Yoga – A calming yet powerful way to connect breath and movement.
Each of these studios offers a welcoming environment where you can explore movement that feels good for your body.
How to Start Building Your Team
You don’t have to add every member at once. Start with one or two providers you trust, and let your team grow over time. Ask for recommendations. Try one new class or service. See how your body responds.
The important part is realizing that you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. The right people can help guide you, encourage you, and keep you on track—without the overwhelm.
Bringing It All Together
Your wellness team doesn’t replace your own intuition—it strengthens it. When you surround yourself with the right support, you give yourself permission to focus on what matters most: being present, balanced, and thriving.
At intūn ChiroCare, I love collaborating with other local providers, because together we can support your whole self—body, mind, and spirit. If you’re ready to start building your team, chiropractic care is a powerful place to begin. From there, we’ll help connect you to other trusted partners in the community who can round out your circle of care.
Takeaway: You deserve a team. Not because you’re weak, but because you’re wise. Surround yourself with people who help you live with more energy, more clarity, and more peace—and watch how your life transforms.
