Holistic Health Fair

A holistic health fair will be held in the Kingston Community Center on Saturday, January 18th, from 10-to-4. Admission is $10.

Retired registered nurse Kari Johnson of Dassel is coordinating the event and will be speaking about integrating faith and health. In an Enterprise-Dispatch article, she said she had attended a similar event in Northfield and thought she would put one together in the local area to promote overall well-being by addressing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.

Johnson said that she’s a little nervous about how this event will go, but is excited to see where it will lead. She says she became interested in holistic and alternative options when her son was in first grade and struggling with memory and behavioral issues. Johnson says he was treated with medication, but then she read about a study in which eating foods without artificial food coloring or preservatives made a big difference in children with a similar diagnoses.

Johnson says she received some pushback from doctors who told her it wouldn’t work and that there was a lack of research, but she tried it anyway, with surprising success. She says when people talk about holistic health, sometimes they think that they’re against the traditional medical providers, and that’s not really the case – there’s a place for everybody, and there’s not one answer out there that is right for everybody in every situation.

There will be several speakers besides Johnson at the holistic health fair addressing topics such as quantum neuro reset therapy, menopause/perimenopause, gut health/detox, neuro-lymphatic reflexes, Aloeva therapy and an EMF demonstration. She says each speaker will talk for about 30-to-45 minutes and there will also be vendors. For more information, email Kari Johnson at beauty4asheskari@gmail.com.
