Online Wellness Network was founded by Jay Ligda in 1999. Online Wellness Network was born out Jay's wish to help others as well has his knowledge of Holistic Health and Web Technology.

Jay, whom you can often find swimming in the San Francisco Bay, holds a BS in Industrial Technology and an MA in Holistic Health Education. Throughout his education, he studied the relationship between technology and the health of humanity.

However, perhaps more importantly, Jay has been focused on his health and wellness for most of his life. He marvels at the talent and brilliance of many doctors who tirelessly help people around the world, he has also found holistic approaches have helped him personally maintain balance and peace of mind that goes beyond what traditional medicine offers. He sees value in both and ultimately wants to provide a forum where people can learn about ANY wellness modality,explore their options on what is the best for them and connect with the people that may best help them.

So he created Online Wellness Network to make it easy for people to find wellness practitioners in their area and to provide them with information they need to guide them through the process of selecting a modality that was right for them. Today, thousands of people, both seekers and providers, benefit from the Online Wellness Network.
