VashonWellness.com
Brings a Web-Based
Directory of Island
Health and Wellness Professionals to Vashon
December 6, 2007, Vashon,
WA. VashonWellness.com is a new, web-based directory to find
information about Vashon's many health and wellness professionals. For
people who prefer a 24/7 web resource, VashonWellness.com makes this easier.
E-mail correspondence with practitioners is a click away and the site also
offers active links to provider web sites.
Visitors to VashonWellness.com
can find descriptions, photos, and contact information. Categories include
Acupuncture to Yoga and providers include Alliantcare to Zheutlin.
The services include medical and dental care, mental health and well being,
coaching, alternative health care, body work and fitness, stress management
resources, nutrition services, midwifery, and skin care and more.
In addition there are resources for “community care,” such as elder care,
youth services, and other community services.
The site encourages gift
certificates in keeping with a growing movement to give “experiences” and
reduce waste from gift-wrapping.
The site’s developer, Laura
Worth, explained that in addition to its primary focus as a web directory
of services, VashonWellness.com also includes educational links to authoritative
information about the variety of practices represented on the site.
Questions about various health and wellness arts are also answered in an
FAQ. As professional and public participation broadens, Worth expects
the educational pages to offer more interaction between the public and
professionals through a wellness blog and an e-newsletter.
Worth commented, “Building
the site has been a rewarding eye-opener to the Island’s rich resources
in the helping arts. Because we are web-based, we can continuously
add to the listings beyond our initial charter members. Coupled with
the educational FAQ and links pages, this site expands the Vashon public’s
opportunities for informed choice. We welcome community suggestions
about how to grow the site.” Contact Laura Worth at 463-9283 or visit
