Hi Sandra
I'm also grappling with a definition of wellness. Since you have had no
reply that I'm aware of I will put in my thoughts for comment.

Wellness is the opposite of sickness. It is a positive concept of health
that relates to the experience of wellbeing, feeling right, happy, secure.
A state of wellness is achieved whenm a person is growing to their potential
in harmony with their enviroment.
