Sustainable Habits Build
Life-Long Health & Success.
The self help industry keeps you perpetually hooked. We don’t. They often deal in vague concepts that can’t be measured. We believe if you can’t measure it you can’t manage it.
Vitalogy embodies a fresh approach that completely goes against the grain of mainstream solutions (“quick fixes” — prescriptions, fad diets, life hacks, weed, etc.) Take this invitation to overcome your challenges through pro-activity, self-awareness, and self-reliance.
We guide people in looking after themselves more easily, effectively, and sustainably. We provide an all-inclusive array of services so you can:
- Actually build your ideal lifestyle step by step
- Maximize resources for mind and body self-care
- Avoid unnecessary stress, anxiety, and effort for nothing
- Fully participate in life – not just spectate and watch others
- Utilize time, energy, and resources to live creatively, productively, and sustainably
- Build confidence in yourself and clarity regarding your choices
Over 50 years ago, a young boy witnessed both a problem and its solution. His parents’ illnesses demonstrated the irreplaceable value of physical and mental health.
His elderly Aunt, generations ahead of her time, saw the future – drinking pure water, eating organic food, exercising regularly, and more.
Fast forward to his creating the VitalMind and VitalBody courses, operating a gym, and teaching in private and clinical settings.
Thus began Vitalogy, a school of thought reflecting mind and body self-reliance for a new world.
- Get their bodies working more efficiently with less pain
- Optimize their minds through better self-talk
- Extend the physical and mental prime of life
- Enhance what already works in their life
- Develop the ability to self-direct their exercise program

Our Founder, Will Nelson
Will Nelson advocates for people dedicated to extending their physical & mental prime of life. For 30 years, he has contributed to the health and wellness industry and continues to innovate with thoughtful leadership today.
As a young adult, he participated in the human potential movement along with internships with doctors and health care providers.
He supplemented his hands-on and clinical education by becoming a Licensed Massage Therapist, a Certified Exercise Physiologist, and earning a BA in Psychology.
He has studied Non-Violent Communication (NVC), permanently sustainable agriculture (Permaculture), and the creative process.
His life facilitated his practicing in five different states, allowing him a broad perspective of various cultures, while pursuing writing, music, and engaging others interested in the notion of “self-reliance.”
He developed his own life management courses, VitalMind and VitalBody, along with Bio-Somatic Therapy, a restorative movement approach to massage therapy. All together they provide Vitalogy’s foundation.
His knowledge of the human experience reflects hundreds of sessions in private, corporate, and clinical settings. The application of his skill-sets leaves a life-long impact on anyone that takes his words and work to heart.
“You are a dynamic individual – creative, alive, and passionate in your work and life. It’s amazing how nimble your body is – like watching a teenager in a much older person’s body. What a privilege to work with you and receive the acceptance you offer. I love to speak my truth with you. I feel accepted and valued, grateful for your deep and rich contribution to my journey.” – NC Client
“Mr. Nelson assisted our staff regarding how their strengths contributed to running our daily business operations. He developed a procedural manual so people knew exactly what to do without reinventing the wheel each day. This clarified our mission and purpose, while recognizing the boundaries in which we could work productively and effectively as a team.” – MI Client.

We Operate Out Of
Our Buford GA Studio & Via Zoom
At Vitalogy, We Believe:
Accessing your potential requires a steady mind and well-functioning body
Maturity embraces self-correction of your thinking and behavior
Self-reliance supports a sustainable life evolution
“Life Resolutions” are more effective than “New Year’s Resolutions”
Asking good questions and allowing for the answers requires trust and faith
Compare yourself only to yourself – from yesterday, last month, or last year
Resolving physical and emotional issues of the past and present frees up your future
In the body’s built-in instinct to stretch, stay loose, and self-adjust your posture, thus maintaining a robust physical presence
Technology influences our entire life experience but can be managed to our benefit
Maintaining equilibrium requires vigilance in prioritizing the excessive input of daily life
