With a new location at Fairleigh Dickinson University’s Ferguson Hall, the Happy Wellness Expo was bursting with positive energy on Sunday, September 8. This spacious, indoor event hosted scores of vendors offering an amazing array of avenues heading in the same direction: holistic health.
A holistic approach to wellness addresses many aspects of life in treating and preventing illness; including physical, mental and spiritual condition, and the many ways we are affected by external factors.
A path toward wellness often incorporates lifestyle and behavioral change, education, stress management, various healing modalities and other forms of support. The Happy Wellness Expo was full of fascinating products and services and many opportunities to try them first-hand.

CBD is the medicinal component of marijuana, as opposed to THC, the psychoactive ingredient. Besides working to protect an endangered turtle population, Tim and Marsha produce flowers and tinctures from CBD extracted from plants grown on Turtlebrook Farm.
The long list of vendors goes on, to include acupuncture, chiropractic healing, personal training, holistic pet care, preventative medicine, reflexology, and more.
The ways toward wellness are diverse, and navigating a path is a personal journey that evolves as we grow and explore. Sometimes the progress will seem slow. Take one step at a time, choose a positive attitude like that demonstrated at the Expo, and treasure the process.
