Our Story

Upright Wellness Center Inc (UWC) is an established 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a profound dedication to teaching integrative wellness and a mission of improving the members of our community, especially our honored veterans.

 

For the past fifteen years, UWC’s founder, bodyworks professional Adi Herman, has had a vision to create a teaching facility for trained professional practitioners to improve their techniques while offering continuing education opportunities.

 

This long-held dream began to become a reality in 2022 when one of Adi’s long-term clients of over twenty years, who felt Adi’s integrative treatment and approach are very beneficial to everyone’s quality of life, gave Adi a financial gift to create UWC.

 

With our commitment to holistic healing and education, we seamlessly integrate our dedication to veterans' well-being into our educational programs, ensuring that therapists are equipped to provide specialized care to those who have served our country and their families.

 

We aim to offer physical and lifestyle wellness support and other methodologies to veterans and their families. Our integrative approach involves addressing and helping with physical discomfort while also nurturing an overall sense of well-being. We believe that everyone deserves to wake up feeling good every day!

 

Our educational facility plays a pivotal role in achieving our mission. We provide in-depth integrative health education to professional therapists through clinical studies. Our curriculum focuses on imparting evaluation and treatment approaches, equipping therapists with the knowledge and skills to create tailored treatment plans and therapeutic partnerships that cater to a patient’s individual needs.
