Vagabond
Latin root: Vagari: to wander
“Not all those who wander are lost”
J. R. R. Tolkien
Why the name?
Vagabond comes from the Latin word ‘vagari’ which means to wander. This is the same root that the words “vagrant”, “vague” and “divagation” find their origin. Even the “vagus” nerve, the longest of all cranial nerves is named after this word, “wandering” from the brain all the way down to our large intestine! Our bodies were made for wandering.
Life is full of wandering. We are all on a journey. Sometimes we wander through dark times, sometimes through times of great joy. Seasons change. We grow and change as we journey toward health and wholeness. While we are sojourning through life, we encounter many types of wandering: walking, running, sauntering, skipping, trudging, dragging, limping, hopping, wobbling, prancing, bounding. No matter where you are on your journey, no matter how you are currently wandering, we see you!
A mantra for mamas
Life presents us with many opportunities for wellness. Whether it be mental, physical, intellectual, spiritual, or emotional, here at VW, we believe that understanding and practicing the fundamental building blocks provides us with a great opportunity to create a strong foundation toward a life worth living. From mind to matter, core to floor, together we start building!
In order to build a strong foundation, we must honor the connection between our mind and our physical matter. We use physical means as the starting point toward restoring TOTAL wellness of body, mind and spirit.
Our values: FIT Focus
physical. mental. emotional. spiritual.
Fundamentals
Sometimes the basics are grossly overlooked. We start by taking a holistic look at the different parts that make up the whole. From your core to your floor (pelvic floor that is), breath work to rib mobility, we get things moving and then start building on that foundation for ultimate strength and confidence.
Intentionality
Intention breeds action. The word orthopraxy encompasses this concept. Right thinking (orthodoxy) must lead to right action (orthopraxy). We address your biggest concerns by getting to the root of the problem and help you move! Your journey requires intention and we are committed to this!
Together
We place a high value on camaraderie and community. We were not meant to do it alone. We are here to journey together, brainstorming and problem solving as we go. There is such an overflow from physical wellness that runs into all other areas of life. The VagaBABE lifestyle is a sisterhood!
Fitness Focus
The definition of fitness is “the quality or state of being fit”. At Vagabond Wellness, this does not just apply to physical fitness. We believe that if we address the physical using a mind/body approach, then the mental, emotional and spiritual fitness will follow suit!
What about insurance?
We have chosen to be an out of network provider in order to provide better, more holistic services for you and to ensure that you can receive all services with a Doctor of Physical Therapy without the insurance companies dictating your care.
By not contracting, we can offer a higher quality package that truly encompasses you and your goals, and not just what insurance wants your goals to be. If you would like to submit to your insurance company for possible out of network reimbursement, a superbill with all necessary information will be provided.
Have a Sharing Plan? Many sharing plans do reimburse for physical therapy services after you have met the deductible or personal responsibility. We have had many clients be reimbursed up to 100%. Feel free to inquire about any questions regarding your sharing plan!
