Nourish Wellness opened its doors this past spring in downtown Comox.
On Friday, Sept. 21 from 3–6 p.m., the Nourish team is welcoming the community to discover this new Comox Valley resource.
Nourish Wellness offers counselling, physiotherapy, reiki and reflexology, as well as yoga, meditation and Qigong.
It also hosts speakers and workshops. Complementing this diverse offering is the incredible studio space presenting breathtaking ocean and mountain views. Completely renovated and thoughtfully designed, the space invites a sense of well-being in itself.
Nourish was created to provide the Comox Valley a unique space for support, connection, education, healing and growth.
“After moving to the Valley in 2014, I saw a need for a community space that encompassed a holistic approach to mental, physical and spiritual well-being,” said Jennifer Mansell, owner and therapist. “Selfishly, I wanted to collaborate with the skilled healing professionals I had met, who also shared this vision. Yoga and somatic therapies are at the forefront of mental health treatment today and so, it made sense to house a yoga studio with the therapy offices.”
Mansell’s vision for the space was both to serve the community, and to give back. Some of the ways Nourish is giving back to the community is through offering free community support groups such as grief support and postpartum support.
In addition, the studio teachers collaborate to offer karma yoga classes where 100 per cent of the donations go to a local charity. Since opening, Nourish teachers have raised money for LUSH Valley as well as The Coldest Night of the Year.
“We have been overwhelmed with community interest, both from participants in our programs as well as professionals looking to collaborate, since we opened our doors on March 1st,” said Mansell.
The community is invited to learn more about the different classes, therapists and teachers at Nourish Wellness.
“The open house is an informal drop-in style gathering designed to provide community members and referring professionals an opportunity to both see and ‘feel’ our space at Nourish. In the spirit of supporting local community, we will have some tasty treats from local artisans Heavenly Libations and Natural Pastures,” said Mansell.
Nourish is located in Unit C at 1822 Comox Ave. The studio and offices are located upstairs with parking available in the parking lot accessed from Church Street.
