Our History
Act Natural Health & Wellness was born of one woman's passion to live a healthy life in today’s less than healthy world. In 2004 Pam
Pinto began a nutrition consulting practice,often speaking to local groups and
organizations and seeing clients in chiropractic offices, local pharmacies, and health
spa’s. Most recently she offered group health and wellness programs to the Employee Wellness Center
at ESPN.
Influenced by her husband’s cancer diagnosis in 1989 and
her own diagnosis of Fibromyalgia in 2003, Pam found herself unhappy with the way
conventional medicine was unable to treat her condition. She
turned to Traditional Medicine, seeking the advice of a Naturopath, Acupuncturist, Massage Therapist and Homeopathic Doctor.
With
the introduction of these modalities her life changed for the better.
Pam’s interest in health and wellness
increased, leading her to study nutrition with The British Institute of
Homeopathy and homeopathy for acute care, as well as becoming certified in Therapeutic Touch
and
Reiki, all while juggling homeschooling her
children.
Community need is one of the main reasons
Pam has opened the doors of Act Natural Health & Wellness. As more and more people become interested and
concerned about the foods they eat and its effects on long-term health, one of her main goals is to provide access to local, organic food through working with
Connecticut Farmers.
Act Natural Health & Wellness is
also Pam's way to grow a family business; to teach her children to be part of their
community and to live a healthy life. She believes that the foundation of health and wellness is not only good
nutrition, but relationships and emotions as well. To
supplement proper nutrition, Act Natural Health & Wellness carries a wide
variety of pharmaceutical grade supplements, homeopathic remedies, herbs and
many retail brands of vitamins and supplements for your entire family.
You can find Pam at Act Natural Tuesdays through Saturdays to
answer your health and wellness questions. She regularly attends seminars and webinars to
stay up-to-date in the field of nutrition and health, and is a member of the
American Association of Drugless Practitioners and the Holistic Pediatric
Association.
