Sometimes living a balanced and healthy life can seem impossible in today's
fast-paced, technological and convenience driven world. Even trying to make
an informed decision can be overwhelming. On
Oct. 24, The Wellness Clinic and Natural Health
Expo stands ready to set the record straight.
Instead of being confused, worried or
stressed about the course life is taking, Dr.
Fateria Johnson, the event organizer plans for
each participant to leave inspired, motivated
and uplifted. Johnson's inspiration for this
event comes from a life changing experience
followed by more than a decade of research
and experience in this field. "I was diagnosed
with a hyper thyroid years ago," said Johnson.
"I decided to try natural health alternatives
to treat it and that worked for me. I no longer
have thyroid issues."
The purpose of the expo is not to discourage
people from allopathic (conventional)
medicine, but to help people understand that
there are also holistic options that get results –
not just for illnesses but for a lifetime healthy
living. "Getting people to see that there are
alternatives is important," said Johnson. "It takes balance. There are great
medical doctors and facilities. We can all work together to help people live
healthy lives. That is the beauty of nature."
The event includes presentations coving topics like gentle chair yoga for
pain relief, the Happy Mind Matrix Clinic, a breaking stereotypes fitness
and balance clinic, a clinic about GMOs and healthy foods and how to enjoy
wellness in a toxic world. The presentations run from 10:30 a.m. to 2:10 p.m.
A variety of vendors are scheduled to attend the expo as well and there
will be giveaways throughout the day. Vendors will offer massage therapy,
essential oils, sustainable clothes and jewelry, alternative medicines,
health products and more.
"This is really about finding your happy,"
said Johnson. "We will have drawings and
demonstrations and get people in the frame
of mind for wellness. I am always thinking
about how to enjoy wellness. I use all organic
products – my make-up, shampoo and
deodorant are all organic. I feel much better
when I use these products. What we do, eat
and think makes a difference."
Embracing wellness is an all encompassing
lifestyle for Johnson. Her goal is not
to pressure anyone but to educate the
community and offer opportunities to talk
with professionals about some of the more
natural ways to stay healthy and treat
things like stress, pain, sports injuries,
fibromyalgia, arthritis, gout, plantar fasciitis
and more.
Tickets are $9 for military, $10 for students
and $12 for general admission. Children
who come with their parents get in free.
