| Explore Alternative Healing Practices |
| Hi friends!
Join us online today at 1:30pm EDT for a special Wellness Wednesday discussion group:
Complementary and Alternative Medicine
What are you doing to manage your aches and pains? We all got ‘em, yes? Do you instinctively reach for the ibuprofen or a stronger pharmaceutical? Or do you employ alternative methods of healing? Have you explored acupuncture, Chinese medicine, herbal remedies, massage, chiropractic, yoga, reiki, meditation, CBD and the list goes on!
Join Andrea Hancock, Senior Planet Fitness and Technology Trainer, for a lively discussion about complementary and alternative medicine. Come share your experiences and learn from others!
See you online,
