I was able to run through the Whole Health Expo. I had a little bit on my plate for the day and wasn’t able to peruse quite as much as I would have liked. I did however, get an introduction to some great practitioners and a myriad of new ideas. I particular liked the Omnivos booth. You may have seen there wares at your yoga studio or perhaps if you have had a sound healing session. These bowls produce tones that are truly amazing and bring a smile to your face almost instantly. I am quite fascinated by acutonics and the effects of sound on the body. While in my own practice I focus mainly on anatomy and the muscles relationships to pain - sound does have a profound effect on the body. (how long have you gone without listening to one piece of music?)
I was also glad to see other practitioners and friends from the area both those who had booth space and those that were “mere attendees” I’ve heard that some of the presentations were great and plan on making the time next year to participate and learn. I was able to stroll through the books downstairs and pick up some things that will be sure to help me in my practice.

excerpt:
I promised attendees of "Starting and Growing Your Holistic Business," co-sponsored with Whole Health Expo, one of our advertisers, that I'd provide a link to a free "how to" on preparing a business plan: www.soc.duke.edu/courses/soc190/bplan.html (We'll be having another of these workshops later this year). Presenters Aaron and Sue Singleton of Way to Balance and Diana Krauth of Elements Hot Tub Spa, Inc., set us on the right track for our inaugural workshop, and I thank them again.
Whole Health Expo Returns to New Hampshire

For some, the term "healthy" applies to physical well-being - the result of good nutrition, an active lifestyle and regular visits to the family doctor. An increasing number of people, however, are adopting a more holistic interpretation, expanding their definition to include mental and spiritual wellbeing as well.

Whole Health Expo explores a variety of topics
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
By Candy Williams
Jonathon Podolsky remembers when a patient wouldn't dream of discussing holistic medicine with his or her family doctor. "Twenty years ago, alternative treatments such as massage therapy, acupuncture and yoga were considered on the fringe of accepted medical practices," he says. "Now, they're close to being mainstream."Podolsky, of Northampton, Mass., is producer of the fifth annual Whole Health Expo coming to the Pittsburgh Expo Mart in Monroeville this weekend. He credits women for seeking out answers that extend beyond traditional medical practices for their physical or emotional problems.

NORTHAMPTON - The two-day Whole Health Expo opens today with a new owner in command for the event's 20th year. As Jonathon Podolsky looks to the future, he sees growth for the business niche known as the ''positive impact market.'' Podolsky, who owns a downtown art gallery, bought the annual health and lifestyles expo from Trish Blain, who is moving on to focus on a more mainstream event called the Better World Expo.

A publicist called on her cell phone from the road in Tucson, Ariz., to pitch us on the Whole HealthExpo in Northampton this weekend. "It's an exciting story," she said, explaining that the Expo was celebrating its 20th anniversary. She wasn't sure about the numbers, but she figured the New Age industry has had a ''big impact'' on the region's economy.
Creative healing: Region experiences a growth spurt in options for non-traditional medicine
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

When the owner of the national Whole Health Expo was looking for cities in which to host a successful trade show on holistic practices, she looked for specific criteria. The cities had to have strong liberal arts colleges and strong arts communities, some cultural diversity and publications that covered the holistic community. And just as important, they needed to have the clientele that would shop at an organic grocer like Whole Foods Market.
Healthy Choice

As an alternative to drinking beer -- not that there's anything wrong with that -- you can spend the weekend holistically. The second annual Whole Health Expo moves into the Pittsburgh Expomart with more than 100 exhibitors determined to "enhance your life, heal your body, expand your mind and inspire your spirit" (the rare few may try to lighten your wallet, as well, so be open-minded but slightly skeptical).
To your health

By Scott Mervis, Weekend Editor
It's that time of the year when we all have to do a little spring cleaning. For some of us that means just clearing out all the stuff we've been piling in the basement over the winter. For others, it means a full body, mind and spirit tune-up.

Lynn Andrews: Sharing Spiritual Adventures
by Mark Muro, Globe Staff
November 23, 1991
Boston Globe
...At 46, she has been called by turns a female Carlos Castenada, "the medicine woman of Beverly Hills" and the founder of a new literary genre: "visionary autobiography." That means that when she embarked on an odyssey of enlightenment 20 years ago, she wrote books, and sold them. But it also means that after chronicling her spiritual adventures in nine books with titles like "Medicine Woman" and "Flight of the Seventh Moon," Andrews has emerged not just as a "rainbow warrioress" for women, but a leading light in that grand search known as the New Age.
Holistic Health Experts Speak at Forum

Albany Times Union (Albany NY)
Feeling good came in the form of reflexology, or foot massage; algae; crystals; oxygen therapy; meditation; and other New Age techniques. Al Rapaport, one of the speakers, said he discovered holistic healing after becoming frustrated with physicians years ago. While osteopaths told him he was fine, his back ached, he said. He went to massage therapists and chiropractors and began feeling better.

For them, it's Crystal Clear...

Workshop leader Chaya Sara Sadeh, a registered nurse, psychic reader and founder of the Healers Resource Center in Cambridge, told the group that crystals are neither good nor bad in themselves but have the power to amplify "so we can hear the very quiet voice of our higher selves." While each person held a piece of quartz, Sadeh used imagery to suggest they had entered into the crystal through one of its facets or "windows" and journeyed to a house where they would, perhaps, have a visit with a spiritual guide.
