Strategic Wellness Center – Empowering Your Personal Wellness Journey

While everyone’s story is decidedly different, Dr. Diana Williams, founder and owner of Strategic Wellness Center in Hickory, joins her talented team of providers in treasuring their roles in empowering clients to truly live their best lives.

True to their tagline Feel Good – Look Good – Do Good, she and a talented team of 13 professionals guide clients with a holistic approach to the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual components of any healing process.

“We empathize because we’ve gone through it,” Diana shares. “Personally, I know what illness feels like, and also what wellness feels like. Accepting ‘normal’ isn’t always optimal.”

A board certified nurse practitioner and also board certified with the institute of functional medicine, Diana’s own journey to discovering the power of functional medicine began after the birth of her second daughter, with a list of symptoms that many women will find familiar – skin rash, joint aches and fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, digestive issues – even anxiety. Through her personal experience with traditional providers treating only symptoms and not underlying issues, she was led to research and discover the facets of functional medicine. Diana soon found a calling to support and educate others who have pursued the traditional route of medical care, but still feel – for varying reasons – that an element of their healing is missing.

Since 2018, she and her incredible team have been helping both men and women achieve hormone balance through the principles of functional medicine. Based in Hickory, and now a second location in Statesville, Strategic Wellness has served approximately 2,400 clients in the last six-and-a-half years, 75% of whom are female. Clients are grateful for the team’s dedication to their proactive involvement in maintaining good health, via treatments that focus on the root causes of their illness, and the optimal functioning of their body and organs. 

Another primary promise at Strategic Wellness is you will never be “lost” in a system or leave an appointment feeling your concerns haven’t been fully heard. An initial consultation includes an in-depth review of your complete medical history, a look at your present diet, exercise and lifestyle habits, and a heart-to-heart discussion of your top three personal goals going forward.

“We see all ages, from pre-menstrual disorders to women entering their retirement years who want to feel well enough to actively keep up with their grandchildren!” adds Diana.

Menopause management, hormonal balance, auto-immune issues, gut restoration, fibromyalgia and even Lyme disease are frequent topics. Diana and her team have advanced training in safe hormone replacement therapy, and educate on how hormones may decrease the risk of certain cancers, bone and memory loss, and heart disease. There are always options available for relief and healing. Many male clients have witnessed a positive difference in their wives’ wellness journeys that they turn to Strategic Wellness to better their own health – and the practice offers men’s hormonal and testosterone screenings.

To accompany their focus on functional medicine, you’ll also find the med spa services at Strategic Wellness to be an extension of their overall mission. Along with the relaxation of a signature facial, for example, you’ll learn how to focus on prevention and healing of the skin from the inside out. A customized treatment plan might include micro-needling to naturally increase collagen production, broadband light laser for any pigmentation concerns or injectables that include DermaGel, a completely natural filler that uses Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) to stimulate collagen and volumization. Strategic Wellness clients experience aesthetic medicine through the lens of functional medicine, where they address the root causes of aging skin and tissue, and benefit from the latest technology and most recent advances in aesthetics and anti-aging technology.

Group “pamperings” are also available with Strategic Wellness and sister company Hayur Scalp Spa – an Ayurvedic scalp spa, perfect for bridal parties, milestone birthdays or a girls’ day out!
