Jeff Wells, BA, LMBT (NC#2252), is the founder of the Wellspirit Healing Arts Alliance.

Jeff Wells was born and raised in Durham, North Carolina where he attended Carolina Friends School (CFS) K-12. He did his undergraduate studies at College of the Atlantic (COA) in Bar Harbor, Maine, majoring in Human Ecology.

In 1996 Jeff began his training in therapeutic massage at the Body Therapy Institute (BTI) in Silk Hope, NC. The comprehensive and creative approach to bodywork that BTI’s curriculum offered was perfect for Jeff’s broad educational foundation which had included centering spiritual practices from a very young age at CFS and an ecological perspective on the human condition at COA. This combination gave Jeff many powerful tools to shape a very dynamic therapeutic practice.

In 1998 Jeff Wells began taking workshops with the Foundation for Shamanic Studies. These workshops, which teach basic and advanced techniques in shamanism (traveling among alternate realities for healing and information), have served to further deepen Jeff’s spiritual approach to healing. This approach to healing is one that seeks to combine nurturing physical treatments with exploration of the deeper psychological, spiritual, energetic, and emotional conditions which may be contributing to the client's current challenges or ailments.
