Core Health and Wellness

What Core Health and Wellness does

Core Health and Wellness is a sole-proprietor complementary and alternative medicine practice founded in 2009 by Cindy Stillwell Chronister and headquartered in Troy, Virginia, near Charlottesville. The firm operates a faith-based wellness center serving individual consumers across central Virginia (Richmond, Fredericksburg, Culpeper, and surrounding communities), with services delivered in person at its Troy headquarters and a secondary Charlottesville thermography office. There is no indication of institutional investment, subsidiaries, parent company, or external funding.

The core technology platform is Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI/Thermography), an FDA-registered adjunctive imaging procedure approved in 1982 that detects infrared heat markers reflecting physiological function, with no radiation or compression. Around this diagnostic anchor, the practice layers several therapeutic service lines: Assisted-Lymphatic Therapy (vibration/light/electrical wave stimulation), Nutritional Analysis using the Loomis enzyme-nutrition system, Detoxification services (including IonCleanse foot baths), ZYTO Biofeedback (galvanic skin response scanning), and Evox Perception Reframing (voice-pattern mapping with computerized biofeedback frequencies). The technology stack is exclusively composed of third-party certified devices operated by the founder, who holds multiple specialized certifications (Naturopathic Doctor, Loomis Digestive Health Specialist, Certified Assisted-Lymphatic Therapist, Certified Thermographic Technician).

The business model is direct-to-consumer professional services, with payment collected at time of visit via cash, check, or credit card. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; appointment booking occurs via phone, email, or the Schedulicity online scheduling platform. Customer acquisition relies primarily on word-of-mouth referrals, a dedicated testimonials page on the website, content marketing via an educational blog covering thermography and wellness topics, and earned media (a feature on Newsplex's "Beth on the Bright Side" segment). There are no resellers, distributors, partnerships, or third-party channels, and no apps, APIs, or digital products. Revenue streams are predominantly repeat professional-services sessions (lymphatic therapy, nutritional analysis, biofeedback, Evox sessions) plus one-time diagnostic imaging events (full-body and breast thermography).
