  • Mid-Mo Holistic Practitioner Meet ‘n Greet

    March, 2026. If you are interested in attending, let me know if there is a Sunday evening in March that will not work for you. By mid-January, I’ll choose the date that works for most.

A great night of community and friendship making with attendees from Columbia, Kirksville, Moberly, Harrisburg, and Excello. Thank you Anahbra for live music!

Co-hosted by Dr. Robert Jackson, Doctor of Osteopathy specializing in rheumatology.

We hand around a microphone if you’d like to introduce yourself, describe your practice, or talk about a wellness topic. I’ll choose four guest speakers who have access to slide show.
