My name is Andy Nielsen. I am the founder of 65 Wellness. I got my master’s degree in the holistic rehabilitation specialty of the medical field known as occupational therapy.
I work from a biopsychosocial model of health that earnestly considers physical health, mental health, and social functioning. Far too often, our medical system only considers our problems in isolation, but we all know health and wellness is the result of a complete body, mind, spirit system that is working in harmony together.
I’ve received high level training on how to help people live well in spite of difficult physical, cognitive, or other pesky challenges that impact life in significant ways. Sure, some things are not totally fixable, but that doesn’t mean you can’t live great or find new meaning within your current contexts.
Millions of people around the world worry about whether they will be able to live at home as they age. Children of aging parents worry for their health and well-being too. This site will be a great resource for both types of people. We look forward to your feedback and hope you get lots of value from this site.
