The Shops at Palm Desert is hosting its third annual Wellness Day at The Shops, August 8, from 3–6 p.m. The festive afternoon, dedicated to health, beauty, fitness and living well, presents the opportunity to meet local health and wellness practitioners, learn tips to thrive, try new modalities, take part in activities and win valuable prizes.
Wellness vendor fair. Discover a wide range of health-focused products, services and resources from local wellness businesses, organizations (including many you see in Desert Health) and in-center retailers. Enjoy samples, special offers, activities, information and insights related to medical resources, holistic wellness and more.
Special guest speaker. Enjoy a complimentary presentation by integrative primary care physician Edith Jones-Poland, MD, entitled, “How Food Speaks to Your Body.” What does that apple tell your DNA? How about that cookie? In this inspiring and informative presentation, Dr. Jones-Poland will discuss how food directly affects your body at the cellular level, with take-home tips to help you live your best life. The 30-minute presentation will be followed by a Q&A period to answer your questions.
Step and spin challenge. Guests can receive a free pedometer (while supplies last), track their steps during the event and earn a chance to spin the prize wheel for fun gifts from The Shops stores, including books, accessories, apparel and more.
Passport prizes. Pick up your Wellness Day Passport at the registration table and collect stamps from participating vendors for a chance to win one of three abundant gift baskets.
Enjoy upbeat music with a live DJ and stop by the photo booth for free printed photos to capture memories. Wellness Day at The Shops is free to attend and open to the community. Bring your family, invite a friend and enjoy an afternoon focused on feeling good, learning something new and connecting with local wellness resources.
