Wenatchee

Local health alliance accepting members

A new program that promotes a healthy lifestyle through education and support kicked off last week.

The Vibrant Health Alliance, a membership group, focuses on improving a person’s health through diet, attitude and surroundings, said leader Dr. Chandra Villano, a Wenatchee naturopath.

Twice-monthly sessions include guidance on setting goals and taking action with the help of supportive group dynamics, Villano said. Licensed medical practitioner Annie La Croix also helps lead the group.

Hour-long sessions are held at 6:30 p.m. every other Wednesday at Bonaventure, 50 29th St. NW, East Wenatchee. Four-hour intensive sessions are held quarterly. Membership fees are $60 per month.

Membership also includes discounts at about a dozen local businesses such as spas, massage therapists, natural food markets and chiropractors.
