Bed and Breakfast Wellness
A couple of thoughts collided for me today. I just finished talking with a new coaching client who owns a bed and breakfast and also runs a wellness center within the B&B.
Unrelated to this, I was working on a research project for the Coalition for Affordable Healthcare in Ohio, organized by UHCAN Ohio. This research project was to find out how other countries handle insuring their entire population, other than just a single-payer system.
In this research, I found out that different countries DEFINE healthcare in very different ways. Healthcare can be pharmaceutical drugs and surgery, which is how we define it here in the USA. It can also include Chinese medicine, which is true in China, South Korea, Japan and other eastern countries. Taken much further, it can include setting a lower speed limit on the highways, say fifty-five miles an hour, which undoubtedly reduces deaths and injuries. I'm not saying I'm in favor of one definition over another, but it is just interesting how far the definition of healthcare could go.
When these thoughts collided, I realized that a bed and breakfast itself could easily be considered a form of healthcare. The few times I've stayed at a nice B&B, the feeling that I got from such deep relaxation and calmness was very therapeutic. I think a trip to a high-quality B&B, like what it sounds like my client owns, could be very effective in reducing stress and bringing back immune function.
