Episode Twenty One- Finding BALANCE with Raymond Achille
Show Notes Chapter Markers

Mark presented a session at the National Wellness Conference last week about the healing effects of nature for increased well-being. He stated that “Nature was the first physician, the first grocery store, the first religion, and the first teacher.”


We are always amazed at the many lessons available to us just by stepping outside the front door. 


One of the most impactful lessons in nature is about balance. Balance is a word that often gets overused, or misused, especially in regard to health and wellness. 


 We spend a lot of time and resources figuring out the right amount of sleep, calories, and activity we should have each day.  We get so wrapped around a “healthy balance” that we forget one of the most important aspects of life…enjoying it. 


Welcome to Episode Twenty-One of The Nature of Wellness Podcast. 


On this episode, we sat down with Raymond Achille, the founder, and CEO of Balance Period- a wellness and health equity firm. Ray (aka. “Recovery Ray”) Ray is a wellness consultant with a decade of experience in the health and wellness industry. 


After recovering from a pulmonary embolism in 2017, Ray dedicated his time and energy to understanding how to maintain optimal well-being and pass down those healthier habits to the next generation of his family. He started Balance Period to focus on creating a world where “generational wellness” is accessible to everyone. 


Ray is the current National Wellness Institute Multicultural Competency Award winner, based on the incredible work he is doing in his community. Join us as we talk to him about how he uses what he has learned to empower others to “transform health trauma into better health outcomes,” becoming the change they want to see in their family and community. His work is a perfect example of what we say on the show…”Wellness is for ALL.”


Ray shares his personal healing journey, his BALANCE Blueprint for sustainable lifestyle change, how members of his community are receiving his work, and how he works to shatter the stigmas associated with self-care. 


This conversation left us in a state of true equilibrium.
