Fusion Health Brings Personalized Care

CANAAN, Conn. — A new health and wellness center just over the border in Connecticut is offering physical therapy and holistic practices.

Owner and physical therapist Jane Simonds wanted to provide more help to her clients and make her services more accessible.

"I worked in outpatient therapy for about 15 years, and it was a grind, and I didn't feel like I was giving people the whole picture of what they needed," she said. "I just didn't feel like people were certainly getting better, but it just felt like something was missing. And so through that experience, plus my own, I started to find my way to this more holistic approach that I'm trying to educate people about and provide."

Her wellness center focuses on a patient's body as a whole rather than the one problem ailing them. 

"It is a health and wellness center that really targets helping people see their body from multiple angles and from all the possibilities that may be leading them to feel a certain way," Simonds said.

"So rather than someone having shoulder pain and only focusing on the shoulder, thinking about what other aspects of their life might be influencing, how that's feeling and their well-being, what nutrition, what role that's playing it, what their emotional health is doing, and how the pain affects those things in return."

Simonds has more than 20 years of clinical experience. Fusion Health offers physical therapy services, holistic life coaching, nutrition coaching, reiki, infrared and light sauna therapy, cryotherapy, cryosculpting and more. It also plans to offer salt cave halotherapy in the near future.

Some of the services offered may be covered by health insurance.

The center is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; some services have personalized schedules.
