Some free holistic health therapy sessions will be offered by the Wellness Hub Mahurangi at the Warkworth Bridge Club rooms in Alnwick Street on August 31. Hub spokesperson Pamela Harland says the goal is to make these wellness therapies affordable for all. “Our work is complementary to the medical profession and we aim to provide information on mental, emotional and physical health through various therapies, including coaching, bodywork, nutrition and lifestyle options,” she says.
There are more than 20 local experienced health and wellness practitioners in the collective, with several giving complementary sessions at the Wellness Days. “We welcome new local practitioners who want to know more about joining us to get in touch,” Harland says. She adds that the collective would like to get more business sponsors on board for the wellness days to subsidise therapy sessions.
“We are also looking for suitable premises for a Wellness Central education centre combining therapy rooms and a café with healthy food options.” The Warkworth wellness day will run from 11am to 2pm. There will also be a wellness day at the Wellsford Community Centre, 1 Matheson Rd, on September 14, from 11am to 2pm, sponsored by Rodney Local Board.
