Positive Living is a Health and Wellness Practice located in New Bedford Massachusetts. Our mission is to help remove obstacles that keep individuals from reaching personal life goals, while supporting a body-mind-spirit approach to personal growth. We recognize that it is not a lack of desire keeping people from fulfilling a healthy life, but rather the inability to know where to start, and the guidance and support needed to get there.
