Holistic Wellness Fair

  • Google Calendar ICS

Great news!
I will have a booth at the Holistic Wellness Fair at Soleil Acupuncture and Naturopathic. 2661 Whitney Avenue Hamden, CT 06518


I will be there from 11 am- 3 pm. At 2 pm. I’ll be leading a workshop entitled, “Beyond 6-Pack Abs: Creating Your Ultimate Wellness Vision. You can register here. It would be great to see you in person!

Here is a description from the Soleil Acupuncture and Naturopathic Wellness:

On October 14 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., join practitioners in the holistic health and wellness space hosted by the team at Soleil Acupuncture and Naturopathic Wellness in Hamden, Connecticut. The event, free and open to the public, will introduce attendees to potential new providers in one place. 

“This is going to be a great event for those who are looking to level up their health, explore working with other providers or are just getting their feet wet in this area,” says naturopathic doctor and co-host Dr. Alyssa DeSena. “The providers attending have unique specialties; you may be surprised by who you meet!”

Providers offering services in the realm of pelvic floor physical therapy, nutritional consultations, sobriety assistance and more will be in attendance along with complimentary food and beverage. Soleil is an integrative clinic offering services such as acupuncture, facial acupuncture, microneedling, craniosacral therapy, IV nutrition and naturopathic medicine.

“This was born out of the idea that people want more options for their health concerns, and they don’t feel like they’re getting them,” states Dr. Lyndsey Maher, Soleil’s director. “I was one of those people who knew I needed something different, but wasn’t sure what that looked like. Similar to an expo, we’re hoping this event helps people to meet providers who can help them with their concerns that they wouldn’t have found otherwise.”
