Lindsay Best says the expo will open people’s eyes to other health modalities.
A Health and Wellness Expo that had to be axed last year due to Covid-19 will finally take place this month.
Organiser and chiropractor Dr Lindsay Best says the rescheduled event at the Warkworth Town Hall will take advantage of the summer weather and include outside stalls in the Town Hall’s courtyard area.
Last year’s event was due to feature around 30 stalls, but this year Dr Best says there will be more than 40.
Health therapies represented at the Expo will include naturopathy, naturopathic oncology, acupuncture, massage, homeopathy, chiropractic, bioptron light, mindfulness, osteopathy, reiki, hypnotherapy, ballet for seniors and tai chi.
Dr Best says the aim of the expo is to open people’s eyes to other “health modalities”.
She says during the Covid-19 lockdown last year, many people were unable to get to see their doctor, underscoring the need for people to take charge of their own health and look at preventative options so they don’t get sick in the first place.
Dr Best says there will be plenty of demonstrations and seminars going on and lots of health-related products for sale, including honeys, balms, teas and essential oils.
Warkworth library will also be represented, showcasing a selection of health and wellness-related books.
Dr Best says attendees are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item to support local foodbanks or a gold coin donation for Homebuilders Family Services.
The Health and Wellness Expo takes place on Sunday, Feb 21, from 1.30pm to 5.30pm.
