Functional medicine coach Glen Leslie and his wife Kristin, a chronic disease-health coach and smoking cessation practitioner, recently opened Longevity Wellness Centre in Whangaparāoa Road to provide services that they feel have been lacking on the Coast.
Glen found his way into the area of wellness around 15 years ago, after his own health was improved by Bowen Therapy.
Glen went on to study Bowen Therapy and he also holds diplomas in herbalism and nutrition.
Longevity Wellness Centre is packed with therapeutic options including Far-Infrared saunas, floatation therapy tanks, a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, exercise-with-oxygen-therapy (EWOT) stations, an ozone steam sauna and negative ion machine and cold water therapy tubs. Even the shower heads have special qualities to help people relax and rejuvenate.
Despite all of this equipment, the first thing you notice on entering the centre is walls covered in artworks.
Glen developed a love of art back in the days when he had a sideline as a picture framer.
He says looking at art is also therapeutic, and he couldn’t resist adding the small gallery and exhibition space to his business.
The business has only been open a short time, but Glen says he and his wife Kristin,who is a nurse, are looking forward to helping people with therapies that Glen says can benefit anyone from serious athletes to the elderly.
“My job is to help people help themselves by treating the person, not the disease,” he says.
