Now more than ever building a holistic sense of wellness and fulfillment has become a major focus in our community. Because of this, Noozhawk is proud to relaunch our Holistic Health and Wellness Guide!
To provide our readers with the resources to improve their overall well being in the following dimensions: emotional, occupational, physical, social, intellectual, and spiritual, Noozhawk has conducted a series of interviews with local wellness businesses and practitioners.
In this interview, Noozhawk spoke with Gina Bell Owner Journey to Wellness Workshops, to learn more about her program.
