Dynamic Duo Wellness

Traveling through the holidays and entering the New Year, we often feel excitement, anxiety, and a little bloated and run down. Treat yourself, or someone you love to some wellness this holiday season with the ladies at Dynamic Duo Wellness and make the most of life!

Alee Hoffman HHC, AADP and Erin Dunscomb HHC, AADP founded Dynamic Duo Wellness (DDW) in Chicago, 2009. They both are passionate about helping people lead more vibrant and joyful lives. The duo met at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition/Columbia University in New York when they were pursuing their own paths to a higher quality of health and nutrition and developed their professional relationship teaming up for some workshops on the east coast.

Dynamic Duo Wellness is not just about the collaborative partnership between Alee and Erin, it's about the relationship between a person and their food. Or as the gals at DDW like to say, "It's time to join forces with your food!"

What can DDW do for you? Quite a lot! DDW offers in person workshops, private sessions, corporate events, phone and internet sessions and Skype workshops from recipes, cooking classes and general nutrition counseling to personal health evaluations, individual plans and family and children food education.
