Elemental Wellness was founded in 2009 in response to the decline of education and personal patient attention in the modern medical standard of care. Its mission, “to educate, empower and heal” is born of a community committed to taking back control of their wellness. It is a family business now operating in both the UK and the US, the five year strategic plan includes the pursuit of additional subsidiaries in Europe.

Our business model is ecologically minded and patient focused. We operate practically plastic-free using only renewable energy and reducing waste wherever we can. We take our responsibility to the planet seriously and truly believe that responsibly utilizing the natural resources of our eco-system with locally sourced organic food and plant medicine is the way forward. We are working toward integrating traditional local medicine with locally produced Chinese plant medicine to generate more sustainable access to these powerful sources of health.

As patients continue to request better explanations about their health and how their lifestyle choices affect overall well-being, it is clear that education needs to be a priority to really make a difference in people’s lives. We offer both free and paid educational opportunities for patients of all ages and are working toward expanding professional educational opportunities locally.
