This month, we’ve decided to get involved in an upcoming local health event – it’s Victoria’s first….
Gluten Free Health and Wellness Festival
Saturday, February 22nd, 2014 at the Victoria Conference Centre
It’s a full day event in which vendors will be setup between 12pm & 5pm to share great food, beverages and cosmetics to sample and buy as well as educate and create community awareness around gluten intolerance, digestive disorders, and general health & wellness. Thought leaders, nutritionists, chefs and discussion panels will speak on nutrition throughout the day in a private theatre, with the opportunity for questions and answers. There will also be a special talk put on at 7pm by Dr William Davis, author of the New York Times best selling book The Wheat Belly.
As a vendor at the fest, we’re expecting to not only be able to provide information to visitors about how massage can help them but to meet all the many other vendors who can help us out (with both info & yummy new foods to try).
We thought that the Gluten Free Fest was a great event for us to be involved in because gluten intolerance has become a prevalent health concern in Victoria and, with two of our practitioners personally affected by this, we are experienced in
the care necessary to help manage these health issues. If it happens to be an event that interests you, be sure to pop by our booth to say ‘hi’ as we will have several small giveaways as well as a draw to win a free massage!
Tickets for the event and the talk with Dr Davis can be purchased online in advance or at the door. Hope to see you there!
