Welcome to Our
Giving Back Program
Let Us Magnify Your 'Me Time' — with the
Assistance of Our Worldwide Wellness Program Partners!
Together, Let's All Do Our Part —
In Helping to Heal, and Repair, the World!
Aquarius Wellness, true to its mission of being, “…in service to a happier, healthier, more peaceful planet, one person…and tree at a time!”, has chosen to partner with a number of nonprofits serving a variety of causes, both nationally and internationally.
As we provide healing spa services in the comfort of our St. Louis wellness center, we are committed to amplifying the impact we can have in a world crying out for wellness! To this end, we donate $1 for each and every product and service we sell, dividing these funds among the twelve noble charities shown below, which we rotate on a monthly basis, sending all proceeds one month to one, the next month to the next one, etc.
On a Global Level, we have partnered with five outstanding charities you can truly feel good about supporting through your own wellness commitment!
One Tree Planted — a 501(c)(3) nonprofit environmental charity, which, for every $1 that’s donated to them, plants one tree in designated critical habitats around the world. This is one of the single greatest initiatives humanity can engage in for the mitigation of climate change!
Resurge International — a nonprofit humanitarian aid organization that inspires, trains, funds, and scales reconstructive surgical teams in low-income countries. They also provide free life-changing care to patients with the greatest need!
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) — Founded at the call of Albert Einstein in 1933, the IRC is a lifeline through the world’s worst humanitarian crises.

Paying it Forward!
St. Louis is where our heart is, but we consider this entire planet our home. Our small contributions to these twelve noble charities will hopefully grow substantially over time as we grow Aquarius Wellness. Together, we can make a meaningful contribution to the ocean of need in the world, for by investing in your own wellness, you are investing in greater wellness for the people, and the planet, in desperate need of it, which benefits all of us, whether we know it or not — the very definition of a virtuous cycle of love!
Shop Locally — Act Globally
Together, let us collectively contribute to the dawn of a new age…the age of Conscious Capitalism…where we leverage purchasing power to help our fellow human beings and our planet. Some may call it just a pipe dream, the illusory longings that are reminiscent of the "Hippy" ‘60s. Perhaps, but it also represents the exceedingly beautiful vision of a world, as expressed in the ’60s classic song “Aquarius”, that we both long for, and will strive to do our small part to will into existence — let’s all do our part, in service to a happier, healthier, more peaceful planet...
