ABOUT



Magazine and Staff

Wellness Connections was founded in May 2001 in Fresno, Calif., by a small group of concerned citizens who were committed to wellness in their own lives and bringing its benefits to more people in the Valley.

It has been led by the guiding vision of Executive Director Faye Saxton, supported by very dedicated Council members. Current Council members include: Doug Griffith (First Class Limousine & Nikken Distributors); Jerry Kossack (Certified Nutrition Counselor); and Sherrie Olp (owner of Go Natural Wellness Center).

The group has published a Wellness Resources Directory  annually for five years, and sponsors a Wellness Fair, now in its fourth year, held at the end of January. The group also promotes educational events, and is now launching the World of Wellness magazine in 2007.

The Vision of Wellness Connections is to create optimal health and wellness of mind, body, and spirit for all people of the Central Valley.

The Mission is to promote wellness for every individual in the Central Valley through a connected community of health care providers who educate people about wellness -- what it is, methods to use, and practitioners who specialize in it.

Membership in Wellness Connections
is available for $60 a year.

Information on Wellness Connections is available from Executive Director Faye Saxton at 435-5640 or fsaxton@attitude.com.

The purpose of World of Wellness magazine is to be a voice to promote balanced living in Central California by educating the community about healthy options for mind, body, spirit, and environment, and building awareness of the holistic businesses who offer these services locally.
