Alkaline Wellness Center

Dr. Connie Jeon is the founder of Alkaline Wellness and is an avid health and wellness enthusiast since she was a teenager. In the past she’s enjoyed racquetball, badminton, running, rock climbing, skiing, and hiking. It was a natural course for her to study Psychology, Nutrition, and Physical Therapy. She envisioned a life pursuing her passion in wellness and health. She received her Baccalaureate in Psychology, Masters Degree in Nutrition, and a Doctoral Degree in Physical Therapy. All through school, she was known to be the epitome of health, eating mostly vegan foods, exercising on a regular basis, and remained disciplined in her studies.

Then, during her last year in her Doctoral program in Physical Therapy school, she suddenly became so ill that she needed to take a sick leave from her studies, which was devastating. The worst part was that it took the medical system 8 months to diagnose her condition, which was systemic Lupus. She was given toxic medications to keep the symptoms at bay and no real answers. She felt strongly that there had to be a better way. This experience as a patient in today’s medical system really fueled her interest and passion in finding a “solution” for health and prevention.

After 15 years since being diagnosed with Lupus, while she has tremendous respect for the medical model, she also understands the limitations and is determined to challenge the status quo of the medical system by focusing on “healthcare” rather than “sick” care. She believes that the natural state of the body is the healthy state, that healthcare should be about creating the fertile, alkaline environment for the body to thrive. Utilizing her didactic background, she believes in the three facets of healing, functional movement, functional nutrition, and functional mindfulness. It is her passion to empower her patients and clients to take charge of their own health by functionally moving, functionally eating, and cultivating functional mindfulness to remain healthy and create balance.

There are overwhelming amount of information on the web space today, the vision of the Alkaline Program is to filter through all the information to deliver the quality, evidence based, scientific evidence to the general public.

Connie considers her didactic training as the stepping stone in allowing her to further her education in various healing disciplines. She is committed to continued education and staying at the forefront of research and clinical skills. She is a Functional Medicine Practitioner, is certified in trigger point dry needling, Macrobiotics, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Manual Therapy, Cranio Sacral Therapy, Redcord, Pilates Instructor, Qi Gong, Health-Fitness Specialist, and a Yoga Teacher.

Alkaline Wellness is a way to leverage the power of the internet space to help as many people as possible.

Leslie began practicing yoga 2 years ago. As a former gymnast, she loved handstands and being inverted. She also found that yoga helped her tremendously with anxiety and depression. As a functional medicine nutritionist, she understood the importance of diet in combination with movement. As her love for yoga continued to develop, she decided to go through yoga teacher training because she believed it would enhance her practice of functional medicine. Having knowledge about nutrition, movement, and mindfulness, she wants to be a guide for those who are wanting to find balance in life and create health.

Fitness and good health have always been a big part of Elizabeth’s life.  Once introduced to yoga, she discovered its life changing ability to quiet the mind and bring peace. Today, yoga is a key part of her total wellness and healthy lifestyle approach. After two surgeries in 2018, Elizabeth started physical therapy with Dr. Connie and was soon enrolled in her Alkaline Yoga Teacher Training class.   Elizabeth’s goal in teaching yoga is to share her love for yoga and to help others understand its many benefits. She has a passion to love, help, and encourage others. One of the most important things she has learned through her training is that anyone can practice yoga.

When she is not at the studio, Elizabeth is volunteering or spending time with her family and friends, whom she loves and appreciates beyond measure.
