WELCOME!
To those who have found this page!
This site is dedicated to The Wandering Bear Wellness Blog and Newsletter. It may, at some point, have a rhyme or reason, but for now, it is a place for questioning one's beliefs, a place for deeper connection—to self, the land around you, and others. It is not here to make you feel good about yourself or judge. It is merely a place to open up a conversation about the world we live in, with the intention of breaking free, or at least beginning to break free, from that which no longer serves our best interest.
May you find your story in my writing. May you begin to question your beliefs, and may you find joy in the mystery of life.
Looking for a CHEK Practitioner in Port Townsend or the PNW? Here's What You Need to Know
What Is a CHEK Practitioner?
CHEK stands for Corrective Holistic Exercise Kinesiology, a system developed by Paul Chek that integrates:
Functional movement correction
Holistic lifestyle coaching
Advanced nutrition principles
Emotional and stress management
Deep systems-based assessment tools
A CHEK Practitioner doesn't just give you a workout or meal plan—we assess your entire system: body, mind, and spirit. Our motto is: “We don’t guess, we assess.”
Why People Seek a CHEK Practitioner in the PNW
Living in the Pacific Northwest, we’re surrounded by natural beauty—but many of us still deal with modern stressors:
Burnout from fast-paced lifestyles
Chronic digestive issues
Hormonal imbalances
Poor posture from screen-heavy jobs
Low energy and lack of clarity
A CHEK-based approach works well in this region because it aligns with people seeking natural, integrative, and root-cause-focused healing.

About Us
My name is Nicholas Wasierski. I have dedicated my life to the practice of empowering humans to live an embodied life. I currently hold a license to practice Structural Integration which I gained through The Guild for Structural Integration from the original teachings of Dr. Ida P. Rolf. I am a certified Holistic Health Lifestyle and Integrative Movement Coach through the Chek Institute and I guide wilderness-based rites of passage to assist people with life transition.
I was born in Western Alaska during a winter storm on the Kuskokwim River steeped in the wisdom of knowing where my food comes from - catching salmon, gathering berries in the summer, and hunting Caribou and Moose in the fall and winter.
For many years I lived as a wanderer, finding work as a carpenter, welder, and mechanic throughout the West until I stumbled upon The Wilderness Awareness School which grounded me and reminded me of the old ways of living. Remembering that my purpose for being on this planet was to bring ceremony back to his lineage.
I found a home in Port Townsend Washington where I am currently reside, and work as a Structural Integrator (Rolfer), Holistic Health Coach, and a Rites of Passage guide running Wandering Bear Wellness.
In my spare time, you can find me singing rain down from the sky, meditating, studying, fishing, and midnight flower picking.
