Educating and nurturing people to take responsibility for your health
Hippocrates Wellness TripAdvisor Rating
Hippocrates Wellness (HHI) flourishes within a lush, tropical 50-acre setting in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Under the guidance of a knowledgeable and compassionate team, guests from all over the world benefit from health and nutritional counseling, non-invasive remedial and youth-enhancing therapies, state of the art spa services, inspiring talks on life principles and a tantalizing daily buffet of enzyme-rich, organic meals.
The goal of the institute is to assist people in taking responsibility for their lives and to help them internalize and actualize an existence free from premature aging, disease and needless pain. Good health is our most prized possession, generating a positive mindset of confidence, enthusiasm, strength and joyfulness that can trigger a life of optimum achievement. Such vibrant health does not thrive by luck or by chance. Like all things of great value, it must be tended and nurtured with care. This process can be insurmountable and intimidating without the proper guidance.
At the very heart of our brand is the essence of ‘human balance’.
In today’s society, people typically have demanding careers and lifestyles, which means they don’t tend to give time to themselves and create that balance, that ‘me time’.
We are a community that cares and inspires people to restore balance, whatever age or health challenge.
Creating a healthy mind, body and spirit.
Our History
More than a half century ago, visionary and humanitarian Ann Wigmore developed a simple concept first voiced by Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, nearly 2,500 years ago: “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
Together with the brilliant Viktoras Kulvinskas, Ms. Wigmore nurtured this seed, creating a comprehensive institute that encourages people to draw from their vast inner resources to transform the quality of their health and lives. The commitment to this inspired truth is embodied in Hippocrates Wellness, a non-profit organization jointly directed by the caring hands of Brian and Anna Maria Clement since 1980.
