The Wellness Tools Your Doctor Never Prescribes Expo

Why this expo, and why these speakers? Amy Hartshorn, with 34 years in nontoxic living, opens the expo by sharing why she brought this group together: each of these experts moved her with their story and their healing model, and she wanted tools that actually get results. She also shares the framework that took her from overwhelmed to empowered: why food, household products, and holistic tools all matter, why she reaches for holistic care first and conventional medicine when it is needed, and how stuck emotions and beliefs can sometimes sit at the core of physical symptoms. Leave with a few simple first steps for your kitchen and home, with the why behind each one, and a clear sense of how the rest of the expo fits together.
