The integration of physical health and mental health was behind the launch of the idea back in late 2022. Both Steve Johnson and Bill Koepke have unique experiences with how much both aspects affect each other’s profession. Therefore, coming together to remain in the community to help others pursue wellness was a perfect partnership. A comprehensive approach to wellness is the best pathway to improved life satisfaction and contentment.
Steve Johnson values sharing valuable mental health information outside of his counseling office. Therefore, a key cornerstone of the work he does outside of that office, with Advocate Wellness Services, is providing informative, psycho-educational material, as requested. Throughout his 20-plus year career, Steve has traveled to many cities in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and as far as Kansas City, Missouri, to share relevant and timely workshops. These presentations and trainings have been given to people of all ages, non-profit groups, and other organizations that desire to have in-depth support for the relational and emotional aspects of peoples’ lives. Teens, adults, couples, families, workplace employees, business leaders, and ministry professionals have all benefited from these presentations.
By focusing on the cornerstones of who we are as people, Pearl Street Gym members learn more about themselves, the world around them, and how to move ahead with a better focus on overall wellness.
An additional way that PSG integrates wellness is via the regular conversation that Bill has with Steve on Bill’s podcast where we can further explore all things related to the Pearl Street Gym and our varied areas of focus throughout the year.
