Greater Vernon Holistic Healthfest

 Do you want a better understanding of how you can benefit from holistic practices?  Join over 80 exhibitors, choose from over 35 workshops, and explore a product marketplace at the sixth Greater Vernon Holistic Healthfest to be held on Saturday & Sunday, April 6 & 7, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. each day at the Vernon Center Middle School. 

If you attended our last biennial health fair in 2011, you were impressed with the number of holistic practitioners right in your own back yard.  At this year’s two-day fair, meet even more practitioners whose holistic approaches include: acupuncture, chiropractic, nutrition, massage therapy, energy work, herbalists, hypnotherapy, naturopathic physicians, psychotherapy, vibrational healers and so much more.  The Healthfest will provide information that can help you live with greater energy and vitality.  When each of us nurtures and nourishes our mind, body and spirit, we enhance the quality of our daily lives.


 


Why holistic healing?  Many of us want options regarding how we manage our health.  Can I lessen or avoid the use of prescription medicines, can I learn a natural way to manage my stress and stop stress headaches, and if I learn about holistic approaches to nutrition maybe I can lose weight naturally or eat foods that will not trigger my allergies.  Holistic health offers options that can work side by side with the drug-centered approach many western doctors use.  Learning how to use your body’s natural energy to heal or understanding how practicing Yoga or Tai Chi can generate your body’s natural energy to give you more vitality are all parts of holistic health.
