Better than well

[archerships]

Anyone know of a health center that in addition to correcting disease, helps healthy people become even happier and healthier. What I have in mind is a place that combines all of the skills required for a healthy, happy life under a single roof. Skills such as:

financial advisor
nutrition advisor/menu planner
fitness trainer
mental health counselor
marriage and family counseler
aesthetician/fashion designer
interior decorator
legal advisor
business counselor

I believe those are called "moms". :)

No shit.

Plus, we kiss your booboos and let you throw up on us.

Don't know of anywhere this actually exists but it sounds like a business model waiting to happen.

No shit. The only things I know have aspects of this - usually related to some sort of addiction recovery or an assist to helping people who are homeless!

Agreed. Had thoughts along similar lines a while back - a lifetime "concierge" service / advice group. Currently I just bug my friends for advice :D, but I'd think a professional version of that would be very worthwhile.

Consult your local witch doctor ;)

People who advertise themselves as "life coaches" often make claim to a lot of these, without any accompanying licensing required for any of them of course, but as best I can tell those claims are usually... exaggerated.

Oh, it's even worse than that! I know a half dozen people who have trained to be "life coaches" and I have a hard time hiding my dismay that people as screwed up as them might charge people for their advice!

As best as I can tell, people who need "life coaches" are the ones drawn to become "life coaches" as a career. These are seriously screwed up people.

(I've noted similar issues with therapists, but it's not quite as pronounced.)

Thanks! Yeah, I'm looking for a place with specialists in each of those areas.

strip mall with all of those professions leasing . .. but don't know of one actually working together

I know of a couple that are together but not all of these all in one place

can't forget daycare, especially for what might be an all day trip.

Some of these services are needed more or less often than others. For instance, the interior decorator doesn't need to be consulted very often, but some of the others might be important to talk to on a weekly basis or more often. But why not add museum curators and teachers and musicians and other services that are essential to a good life as well?
