Wellness Warriors

making wellness a way of life

Wellness Warriors is a 6 week course designed to help you make wellness a way of life. There's never been a better time to learn simple diet and lifestyle habits that are foundational for health.

I'll help you learn practical hands-on cooking skills and whole foods recipes. Taking a holistic approach, we'll discuss nutrition, movement, cleansing, rest, and rhythm - all from a biblical perspective weaving together spirit, soul, and body. I hope you'll join me for this transformational journey and take your next step toward wellness!

So many people feel isolated and need someone to connect with. Feel free to invite a friend to do Wellness Warriors with you! Learn together and encourage one another as you connect around this shared experience.

"Thank you for your guidance on this journey toward wellness! In the past I have felt overwhelmed knowing that there are so many things that I should do but that I am not doing. Thank you for encouraging us to begin with small steps. Your gentle wisdom is much appreciated. "

- Jane D.


"I was feeling really hopeless about my physical health, not sure where to go to get answers. Traditional medicine had not helped. This course is about how to change your lifestyle spirit, soul and body to obtain optimum health.

Eating whole foods alone is a game changer. Actually doing the class everyday helps you build devotions/time with God into your schedule. I am the mother of a toddler and sticking to a strict schedule is simply not possible, but I've been able to find balance even without a strict timetable. And I've found time to exercise. The 4 minute workout, 3 times a day is my new best friend for busy days!

I can't thank you enough Connie! This has been life changing. There is, of course, more things I can do...but I will take it one day at a time and start to form some good habits. It all starts with a single step.

Sign up for this course. You won't be sorry! "

Connie Bendickson

Hello - I'm Connie Bendickson. My husband, Rich, and I have two twenty-something kids (plus a son-in-law). I see life as an adventure to fully embrace! We've gone from small town Minnesota to suburbia, to hobby farm, and now we're Florida snowbirds. Through every season of life, my heart's desire is to be who God created me to be, do what He designed me to do, and enjoy the life He's given me. And I love to help others do the same!

If you’re curious about credentials, I hold a traditional naturopathy degree from Trinity School of Natural Health and I’m a graduate of the AFMCP® course through the Institute for Functional Medicine. Losing both of my parents to cancer led me to volunteer as a HealingStrong group leader.

Being in the trenches myself, feeding my family whole foods in the midst of a fast-food culture, finding ways to accommodate food sensitivities, and learning to take responsibility for my own health is instrumental in how I support and encourage others on their wellness journey.

Are you ready to thrive – not just survive? Sign up for Wellness Warriors and take your next step toward making wellness a way of life!

P.S. I want to be well for many reasons, but playing pickleball with the kids is near the top of the list!


Frequently Asked Questions


When does the course start and finish?
Wellness Warriors runs February 5 - March 29, 2024. Six in-person meetings are currently scheduled at 1:00-2:30 pm on Feb 9, 23, March 6, 15, 22, & 29.
Is this on-line or in-person?
Wellness Warriors incorporates the best of both! On-line lessons make it easy to learn when it's convenient for you. And meeting in-person (once a week) fosters community, helps us learn from one another, and gets us hands-on in the kitchen. * For those not local to me, Wellness Warriors can be done 100% online, though I highly recommend gathering locally with a few ladies each week - it's so much better to do this with friends who can support and encourage one another - and more fun too!
When and how long is each daily lesson?
You can do the daily lesson when it works for you. First thing in the morning is ideal, but choose whatever time works best for you. On average, each lesson takes 20-30 minutes/day. (No lessons on Saturday/Sunday so you have time to catch up, if needed.)
How do we communicate during the class?
Wellness Warriors uses a private Facebook group to facilitate discussion and answer questions you may have along the way.
Who is Wellness Warriors for?
Anyone interested in building a solid foundation of health! What age? Perfect for teens on up all the way to the golden years :-)
