With the motto Stay Healthy Stay Happy, the Facebook community Your Health in Your Hands! strives to reach out to each one out there. Engaging its members constantly with unique ways to incorporate a healthy lifestyle as a routine, they have come up with their own dedicated YouTube channel, Wellness Talks, in association with Woodpecker Media. Woodpecker Media is a consulting company catering to PR, transformational digital marketing strategies and creative brand design.

Into its initial stages, with lots in the pipe line for their viewers, Wellness Talks promises to deliver content that is quite relatable yet grasping.

For the one year anniversary of the community, Your Health In Your Hands! along with Woodpecker Media organised a one of its kind meet-up for its members at Workbay Coworking, Bandra West.

With a true belief in maximum realization of human potential, the founder of the group as well as Vrudhi HolisticHealth Care, Dr. Bhavi Mody, set out to put together this event that showcased how interplay between health, wellness, and fitness is essential. Health refers to a state of complete mental, physical, and social well-being, and not just in absence of infirmity or diseases. Wellness refers to condition of physical and mental health. Fitness refers to a quality that enables someone to carry out a certain role or task.

Giving this its true meaning, were speakers from various fields who enlightened the audience. They were gracefully introduced by fitness ambassador and anchor for the day, Nidhi Puranik. She is also a certified corporate soft skills trainer and a motivational coach.

Present were various doctors who addressed the crowd on health aspects like skin care, oral hygiene and much more. The members were also educated about a new form of healing called The Bach Flower Remedies, a fast growing option in the UK.

Forgiveness and Doodling are something else one might ignore or not give much importance to. There was a section to help understand how to incorporate forgiveness and this soothing technique into our lives for a feel good factor by experts from the respective fields. Some wonderful tips on how to look good and feel good along with Dance Movement Therapy was well received by the attendees. 

There were other treats too for those who took the time out on a Saturday afternoon and made their way to this Wellness Talks meet up. A free Bone Density Mass test was conducted for all and samples of various healthy products were distributed. There was a variety of products to shop from as well, such as aromatic bath salts, healthy snacking options and much more. The members also got a chance to play an interesting game of Wheel of Well-Being by a happiness coach.

The crowd networked over delicious food, desserts and healthy drinks. And if anyone was too tired from sitting or standing, they could get a complimentary foot massage as well!

A perfect spin on what holistic wellness is all about. The members went home enriched with more information and tips to Stay Healthy Stay Happy!
