Nava Health & Vitality Center Opens in Columbia

Bernie Dancel, Chief Executive Officer of Ascend One Corporation, has opened Nava Health & Vitality Center, the first of several fully integrated wellness centers slated to open in the greater Baltimore/Washington area this year. The Centers combine expertise from doctors, nutritionists, acupuncturists, massage therapists and others to serve the 360-degree wellness needs of each client in a collaborative environment, all under one roof.

Through the development of several credit counseling and debt relief businesses, Dancel has helped not just himself and his family, but more than five million individuals nationwide achieve financial wellness. He’s now sought out some of the most esteemed anti-aging and performance professionals to come together to create a revolutionary new approach to integrated health and wellness. The Nava Health & Vitality Center will help clients achieve full, positive wellbeing by positively addressing the effects  of aging, weight gain, insomnia, digestive issues, fatigue, anxiety, low sex drive and slowed performance and recovery. The Nava concept approaches each of these health challenges through a customized and integrative approach to wellness by leveraging a full range of dedicated expert practitioners with a highly therapeutic experience.
 
“I’ve always been a believer in the constant betterment of oneself through physical and emotional wellness, but doing so can be a complex process,” said Dancel. “Bringing together experts to collaborate and address issues resulting from the aging process with a customized plan for each and every client will allow for a more comprehensive, centralized and natural approach to achieving full wellness. We’re very excited about this concept.”
