The Nova Initiative, a new, integrated health and wellness center, opened on March 1. Nova is located at 30 South Main Street, Town One Square in Poland.
The Nova Initiative is currently offering behavioral therapy in a private practice setting. The cash pay model and flexible scheduling offered by Nova is ideal for busy professionals who are dealing with high levels of stress and life-style management issues.
The Nova Initiative is the vision of Rebecca Nelis, a well-known local behavioral health therapist and owner of Pathways of Ohio Counseling Services, LLC.
“Pathways is a traditional behavioral health organization using the health insurance payer model. There is a need in our community for a warm, inviting place that integrates traditional behavioral health with diverse therapeutic models like art, poetry, journaling while offering access to non-traditional wellness concepts like life coaching, yoga, reiki and aroma therapies,” she said.
The Nova Initiative’s behavioral health services are delivered by fully licensed professional psychotherapists. Life coaching and divorce coaching is delivered by certified coach, Cathy Tusek.
Nova has introduced chair yoga on Sundays at 1 p.m., and gentle yoga and advanced yoga classes on Monday evenings at 5:30 and 6:45 p.m., respectively.
Yoga classes are led by Lori Brothers, a certified yoga therapist since 1998. Lori is also a certified yoga-based stress management therapy instructor for cardiac patients. Lori offers private yoga lessons and private yoga stress management therapy lessons.
Karen Arbogast, Essential Oil Educator, offers informational classes on a regular basis. The next meeting, Essential Oils 101, is scheduled for March 28 at 6 p.m. and will also be offered in April.
During the spring, Nova will offer a wide range of groups including weight management, diabetic education and adult coloring.
