|
Wellness services are an important part of your path to holistic, balanced and sustainable health and well-being. In the Boise area many qualified and talented practitioners are at your service. Since we're talking about your health, please take the time to check their educational background and credentials. Minimally, a health and wellness professional should hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution and often should have post-bachelor's training as well. What special training, licensing and/or certifications does the individual hold? Can the individual provide testimonials of others who have received services from them? What can you expect from your treatment plan? Will your health insurance cover the fees? Will your health insurance reimburse you for fees associated with the service? |
