BE WELL: A Creating Wellness Center in Birmingham, MI

Recently opened, the Be Well Center in downtown Birmingham Michigan held an open house to introduce the community to the Creating Wellness System which promises to be dramatically different from anything else on the market.  It was a day long event to showcase their new facility which includes many services such as chiropractic care, an exercise room complete with personal trainers, massage rooms, life coaching and the Wellness Quotient.

Located at 750 S. Old Woodward Ave, Birmingham, MI, the new center is owned and directed by Dr. Rosemary Batanjski, D.C.    Focusing on a holistic alternative approach to wellness, the center advocates a system that is "designed to help you get the most out of your life - to thrive, not just survive."

I spoke with Alissa Stopczynski, Certified Wellness Coach & Exercise Specialist, who introduced me to their WQ (Wellness Quotient).  WQ includes a lifestyle questionnaire which evaluates over 50 aspects of nutritional and psychological wellness.  Along with that, a client undergoes a series of scientific measurements consisting of body composition, lung capacity, stress response, strength and vitals.  Basically it determines where your Wellness Quotient is and helps create a plan of where you want it to be.  With a customized wellness program, clients can measurably move towards wellness with ongoing reassessment.

At the open house, I participated in the free bone mineral density test performed by Dr. Michael Weiss.  He is a primary care and wellness physician who alternates his time between the Be Well center and his practice in Rochester Michigan.  As a woman, I am concerned about osteoporosis and found out I was in a normal range of bone density.  The hardest part of the test is admitting to my age as he has found to be the case with those of us old enough to not tell

To summarize, the brochure for Be Well states:  "It is a total revolution in mind and body wellness, combining the latest scientific technology with the most advanced measurement and motivational program ever developed".  "Life Should Feel Good"

Holiday Lights Synchronized to Music in Birmingham, MI

candy caneFor about 40 years, Kerry Borgne has decorated his home for the holidays - the past 30 years have been at their current residence at 1948 Washington St, Birmingham, Michigan.  Kerry made Snoopy characters himself along with a friend and Jan's sister.  Jan Borgne, Kerry's wife, said they were out a good part of the morning after the big winter storm this week shoveling the snow off all the decorations.   

Over the years (and out in the elements), she said the decorations are starting to get fragile and it takes a lot of climbing in the cold weather to put them all up--but the neighbors have come to count and will usually update them on the amount of traffic that drives by to enjoy.  It takes Kerry a couple of months to get everything in place.  He synchronizes the music through a "gadget" he hooks up to a FM station that operates within one block of their home.  You can view the holiday light show until New Years from dusk to about 10PM - longer on Christmas Eve.
