Ontological Engineers
Ontology is the philosophical study of one's state of being.
Ontological Engineering is defined as the set of activities that concern the ontology development process, the ontology lifecycle, the principles, methods, and methodologies for building ontologies, and the tool suites and languages that support them.
Unlike software coders at Amenti Wellness, we learn how to become the Ontological Engineers of our lives and use the various tools at our disposal to fabricate our state of being.

Functional Design Professional
Tyler Nathanson, B.Arch
As a functional designer and holistic design consultant Tyler focuses on design to optimize space for enhancing occupant health, wellness, and spirituality. I define Functional Design as design with health and wellness in mind; it is a marriage of practical design applications and functional health principles to create more optimal environments for habitation. It's not just about how something looks; it's about how it can help you feel your best while living inside your space. Functional design combines passive green design strategies, quantum theory, and sustainable construction methodology to culminate in a holistic approach to design. This includes things like natural light, air quality, temperature control as well as thoughtful layout that promotes movement throughout the day (or night). This modality also looks at how we can create an environment where people feel safe, healthy, and happy to live their lives every day. These are all things I consider when working with my clients to create spaces they'll love living in. My goal is to solve problems and simultaneously design spaces that are beautiful as well as practical!
Amenti Wellness
Medical Directors & Advisory Board
At Amenti Wellness, we know that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to wellness and so instead of making assumptions about what you should do for your health without consulting the best in their field or doing any research on our end, let us help guide you through this wellness journey with some help from world-class advisors.
We understand how important it is not only to have a team who can provide expert guidance but also someone looking out for potential pitfalls before they happen by utilizing the experts in the community.
That's why every case gets triple-checked: two times with our staff and then once more from an outside source like a professional association or medical board member!
