Living intentionally begins with awareness. Understanding where you are, what you need, and what deserves your attention allows you to make more conscious choices for your well-being.

For wellness coaches Will and Joanne Devaughn, this principle has long shaped both their lifestyle and the message they share with others. Through their work and wellness retreats, they encourage people to care for themselves as a whole—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

That same mindset extends to their health. While healthy habits support how they live every day, a health checkup can reveal insights that may not always be apparent from how they feel.

“I think it’s a discipline to be able to take care of yourself before anything gets out of tune. Whatever the results are, we can determine the changes we need to make and the next steps we need to take. It gives you clarity on what you need to focus on moving forward.

Their visit to Shinagawa Diagnostic & Preventive Care complemented this proactive approach. Beyond the comprehensive checkup, Will and Joanne appreciated how the clinic made the experience feel warm and positive—from the welcoming staff to the bright and calming environment.

I loved the journey we had throughout the different tests because we were able to go through each one with ease. The environment was also refreshing, with lots of sunlight, impressive equipment, and very friendly staff. They guided us through what would happen and what to expect, so the whole experience didn’t feel mechanical.

Ultimately, caring for yourself as a whole means staying curious, informed, and willing to act on what you learn. The more aware you are of your health, the more intentional you can be about the choices you make for it.
