Welcome to the Wellness Community of Women – a sanctuary where women and their families can embark on a transformative journey to reclaim their health and happiness. My name is Amber Scott, and I'm here to share with you the profound story that led me to this purpose-driven path. Yes, this community was created with women in mind, but it's also for the men and children in our lives!
In 2005, my step-mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. Watching her go through that journey was painful. Filled with anger, sadness, and a ton of questions - I started to read more, listen more, research more, and ask more questions to every doctor I met.
*My mom always said I asked waaaay too many questions, so this was even more!
In 2015, my health hit a breaking point. Debilitating migraines had become a regular occurrence, forcing me to call off work and spend days in agony.
It was then that a friend introduced me to alternative holistic approaches, opening my eyes to a world of possibilities I never knew existed. As I dove into this new paradigm, I discovered hidden culprits affecting not only my health but also that of my family.
My love for Bath & Body Works, with its enticing wallflowers and candles, unknowingly triggered allergies and wreaked havoc on our bodies. The shift from this discovery sparked a series of changes – from the products we used to clean our home to our skincare routine and even the scents and products we surrounded ourselves with daily.
In 2019, a pivotal moment occurred when I chose to remove my birth control, revealing a tumor in my left breast.
Years of exposure to hormone-disrupting chemicals and stress had taken a toll on my body.
Despite the scare, the tumor turned out to be benign, prompting me to intensify my focus on emotional and nutritional well-being.
In May 2023, we proudly opened a local space "Happy Hangout" designed to serve, encourage, educate, and empower women. And I began my official coursework through the Integrative Health Institute to become a certified health practitioner.
While we were prepping for our grand opening, we could tell something was NOT right with my Dad.
After several visits to various doctors, specialists, and tests/labs - we received a diagnosis.
Summer 2023 - After months of testing to figure out what was going on with my dad and why he dropped from 200 lbs to 134 lbs over the matter of a few weeks (without trying), we received the worst diagnosis for my dad (Stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer) and was told there would be a very aggressive treatment plan with pretty rough side effects, but not to expect a cure.
In fact we were told that his diet could be whatever he wanted, and that we should "just let him enjoy what he has left".
Our hopes for survival were shattered, and expectations to make it to Christmas seemed impossible.
But God!
I'm happy to say that through several treatment plans (conventional, holistic, and lots of prayers)
Dad here with us today!!!
happy and healthy with lab reports of "cancer is undetectable".
We were able to push through a very intense year and got Dad into fighting shape to be strong enough after losing weight (65+ lbs what felt like overnight), and he was able to handle the aggressive treatments with very minimal side effects of the 40 radiation treatments, with 2 years of hormone deprivation treatment and 2 years of chemo.
First, we give Thanks to God! HE is the one that made this happen.
Second, we give thanks to an incredible urology team for giving us the aggressive conventional medicine treatment plan and being open-minded about all my crazy "woo-woo" ideas and holistic methods to strengthen his body.
Third, if you talk to my Dad he says "Thanks to my girls, they saved my life!"
*talking about my step-mom and me. I created a very specific protocol for him to follow at home and my step-mom had to implement it - and she did FANTASTIC!
In June 2024, I received my Integrative Health Practitioner Certification, and am continuing my training to officially interpret at-home functional medicine labs. I am able to help my clients determine which testing is best for them.
After the scenario with my Dad and several other very close friends ranging from 40-80 yrs old, I decided I was going to release to the public my two programs:
- The Energy Blueprint -
- to help women between 35-55 regain their energy
- a 6-12-month health coaching program
- Fighting Strong -
- to help those recently diagnosed with cancer to get their bodies strong internally, in fighting shape, to handle whatever treatments they choose with their medical team
- a 12-month health coaching program individualized based on the client's needs
In July 2024, I earned the IHP Weight Loss Specialty designation - as the first practitioner in Ohio to earn this designation I am honored! However, this is not my focus as of right now.
My goal is to help my clients develop a customized plan that details exactly what THEIR body needs, not just what the average person "needs".
We use at-home functional lab testing, muscle testing, prior lab work, and a heart-felt approach to listening to our client's pain points, past experiences, and become an accountability partner over the next 6-12 months through their journey.
The transformations we've seen and have been such a blessing to witness.
