What is The WAY to Healthy Living?

The WAY to Healthy Living includes the acronym “WAY”, why?

WAY is “Wellness and You.” Any health journey must begin with identifying what you really need, what you will and won’t do, and help support the changes that will help to get you to your best self. What you are building by utilizing our services is your way to healthy living.

How it began

In 2012, owner Selina Uglow, LPN, CPT was approached by her friend, Pam, a 51- year-old woman who had just been prescribed her fifth blood pressure medicine and was fluctuating between sizes 12 – 14 at the time. Her health goals were the reduction of weight, medication and better management of stress. As you read this today, Pam has successfully reached and sustained her weight loss and stress management goals and at age 64 only takes two medications, one of them for her blood pressure.

This began the journey of helping individuals achieve healthier lifestyles and growing the resources now available at The WAY to Healthy Living.

The Mission

A cancer survivor at age 29 and once having been 248 lbs., Selina Uglow completed nursing school, earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Health and Wellness, and continued her health and wellness career. Life experience and education emphasized the need for addressing individuals’ health goals in a more comprehensive manner, thus incorporating the mental, movement and motivation skillsets of certified professionals. She continues to expand professional resources, as well as her own education, in areas of lifestyle habits to address identifying where people are and supporting them in their journey to where they want to be.

The WAY to Healthy Living is located in one of Erie’s most serene, picturesque wellness spaces located in the heart of Erie County. Our campus houses a yurt, a meditation water garden and a walking labyrinth, allowing you to immerse yourself in wellness.

Working with Selina Uglow and Chef William Jr. Kuntz has made a major difference in my life…in the two short months working with them I have lost 25lbs and gained strength I haven’t had in so very long.

The WAY to Healthy Living is a great experience! Wellness Coach Selina Uglow, offers fun classes that focus on total body fitness. I really appreciate the adaptations that are made for me personally, to accommodate my bad knees and arthritis.

I have been an overweight athlete all my life. I was working out twice a day and watching what I ate, but always struggled to lose weight. I wanted to continue my fitness journey and my mom introduced me to Selina's program. Her workouts were challenging even for a collegiate athlete. She modifies all workouts to fit each member in the class and carefully considers everyone's goals, strengths, and weaknesses. Her accountability program and food recommendations are truly the game changer. I am now 25lbs down, loosing the weight/inches and keeping it off!! No other program, diet, or pill has had this effect!

Rachel O.

I have been blessed to experience the benefits of participating in the programs offered through The Way to Healthy Living. I am learning to make healthier choices, move more and read labels, all while having fun. I have gone from a size 20 to a size 14. My A1c levels, fasting sugars and blood pressure are all down. When I backslide, Selina is there to support me, without judgement, and get me back on track. Selina's enthusiasm and energy are amazing.

Not only was I able to get my weight under control, but I was also able to eliminate some of my medications and have dealt with stress a whole lot better.

Pam T.

Since I have started working with Selina, I have gone from a 32 pant size to a 20-22, learned what foods to eat and how to cook them, and how to live and keep a positive life. I never imagined that I would be where I am today. I am a very different person than the girl she met two years ago.

Jodi J.

I needed a movement class that would fit my needs. Selina is knowledgeable and modifies for each of her clients even though they are in a group. Coming to totalbodyfitness, I know I can move without hurting myself.
