Holistic wellness care in Tulsa since 1986

Our Story

The Path to Wellness

In the middle of the bustle of the city lies a paradise nestled in the Shadow Mountain Shopping Center overlooking Tulsa at 61st and Sheridan. The Path to Wellness. Warm steam baths permeate the air with eucalyptus and soothing hot rock therapies are combined with professional body treatments and skin care service in a unique Japanese and European style. The entire experience is a body mind soul treatment through Oriental and Native American Medicine and Therapies. The Path to Wellness has been offering expanded health services to the community since 1986, providing a holistic/alternative approach to well being. Our philosophy emphasizes that the human body is an integrated organism, in which no part functions independently (mind, body, spirit, emotion). Thus when we give ourselves adequate care we are self-regulating and self-healing. The path, located at 6125 S. Sheridan Rd, Ste E, Tulsa, OK 74133 at the foot of Shadow Mountain, is a holistic wellness center and spa serving the community since 1986. An urban spa retreat which offers expanded health service providing a holistic approach to the health and well-being of the individual. Services offered include bodywork therapies (therapeutic massage, hydrotherapy, structural balancing), custom built steam units and oriental medical techniques (acupuncture, moxabustion, herbology, dietary and nutritional counseling, bodywork, breathing and exercise techniques).

Meet Our Founder

Teresa Wilkinson

RN, Doctor of Oriental Medicine

Teresa Wilkinson, RN, Doctor of Oriental Medicine, and director of The Path to Wellness, Our mission is to enhance the lives of individuals and families by relieving pain, reducing stress, assisting healing and personal growth, supporting personal well-being and offering incredible opportunity.”

It’s about YOU: The Path to Wellness experience beckons you to relax, reflect, revitalize, it’s your time and space just for yourself, and most important of all, rejoice! Have fun! You’ve earned it.

The Path offers acupuncture and bodywork appointments in a relaxing setting. Massage may help with relaxation and short-term relief of some discomfort. These services are not proven to prevent disease or strengthen disease-fighting abilities, and results vary.

Wilkinson, whose background includes experience in orthopedic/neurologic nursing, rehabilitation, pain therapy, massage therapy and nutrition, says the human organism is a complex system of checks and balances which tend to be self-regulating and self-healing when given adequate care.

The path is a member of the Oklahoma Acupuncture Association and Wilkinson is the current secretary for OM.

The ideal, Wilkinson says, is to have a healthy life-style, balancing mind, body, spirit and emotion. As a health clinic and healing arts center, the path provides therapies to restore, as well as maintain, wellness.
