Women in Wellness // Plié Today and Call Me in the Morning
Pacific Northwesterners’ penchant for wearing socks with sandals may seem on the surface contradictory, but in this neck of the woods it makes perfect sense. Although it might not meet standards of haute couture, it’s an open-minded solution for comfort and flexibility.
So it should come as no surprise that when islanders search for good health, we find layers of options—from the traditional to the alternative—for achieving physical and emotional wellness. Our island has a veritable army of female health practitioners, each different in field and in personality, who are working in concert to help us wholly thrive.

A physician, a spiritual healer, a personal trainer, a naturopathic doctor, a chiropractor— they represent a fraction of the many methods available to tackle health issues, from back pain to eczema to grief.
