About Us
We believe that healing is about repairing, reconnecting, and restoring natural balance of all systems of our physiology—employing improved sleep, nutrition, and lifestyle. It’s our hope that one of our science-based modalities helps you on your journey to better health.
The AHA Wellness Center
Where Health & Art Meet

Founded by Laurie Angell, RS, LMT, the Angell Healing Arts Wellness Center is dedicated to helping you achieve optimal physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
We believe that true health encompasses a holistic approach to wellness that includes mind, body, and spirit.
Our commitment to holistic health and wellness is rooted in our belief that the body has an incredible capacity to heal itself, given the right conditions. We provide a range of modalities that are designed to support your body’s natural healing mechanisms.
Previously, Laurie Angell founded Universal Health Solutions which hosted Inspired Life GR, a community-based wellness conference in Grand Rapids, MI. The initiatives reflect her desire to help promote health and wellness with science-based modalities not found in allopathic medicine. Where Universal Health Solutions is focused on education, the AHA Wellness Center is devoted to putting these values into practice through healing experiences.
“Healing is about restoring your body’s balance. This is about progress, not perfection. Each of us is doing the best we can, and we believe in using the best modalities from around the world with proven, scientific results.”
Laurie Angell, AHA Wellness Center Founder
