Now more than ever before, our physical, emotional and mental wellness is front and center. Because of this, Noozhawk is proud to launch our inaugural Holistic Health and Wellness Guide!

To give our readers the tools to help improve their mental and physical health in Santa Barbara County, Noozhawk has conducted a series of interviews with local wellness practitioners and businesses.

In this interview, Noozhawk talked with Gina Bell, creator of Journey to Wellness Workshops, to learn more about her program.
