Our health therapists hold respected credentials such as registered Mayo Clinic wellness & health coach certifications, master’s degrees in food technology, Harvard Medical School affiliations, Executive Education diplomas in nutrition, and health counseling certificates from accredited institutions and universities. They also have additional training in functional medicine and expertise in functional nutrition and lifestyle, which means they can collaborate with our physicians to find the best way to address the root causes of symptoms through diet, exercise, stress management, and emotional well-being.

Most of our health therapists study the science of behavior change and motivational interviewing as part of their academic programs or additional certifications. This allows them to best support clients in making long-term lifestyle changes that will benefit them in achieving their health and well-being goals.

In addition, every health therapist at the Majamayo Center undergoes extensive training during their integration into the team, regardless of their previous training.

This training includes:

• A 12-week clinical program with in-depth educational modules on topics such as the gastrointestinal system, endocrine system, autoimmunity, women’s hormone health and fertility, cardiometabolic health, and mental health, taught from both the physician and health therapist perspectives.

• Learning modules on how to understand the flow of client visits, case study observation, and independent case simulation under the guidance of a practitioner. They are evaluated on these cases and have live discussions with mentors about their performance.

• Thorough testing of their knowledge at the end of the training.

A health & wellness therapist focuses on physical, emotional, and mental health goals. Their primary objective is to assist you in developing habits that align with and enhance your overall lifestyle. They aid you in achieving specific personal objectives, such as adopting healthier eating habits, reducing stress, or quitting smoking. A health therapist strives to create sustainable improvements in your overall well-being and health through lifestyle changes. They do this by helping you get into a routine that puts your health and well-being first.

On average, it takes about 66 days to form a new habit. People typically work with a health & wellness therapist for 2-6 months to achieve the best results. If you’re trying to adopt multiple new habits simultaneously, it will take longer to work with the therapist. Sessions can last from 15 minutes to one hour.
