2025 Wellbeing Workshops

January 14th

  • 5:30pm-7:30pm
    with Callie Lebrun,     Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist, CD

    We all know someone (maybe even ourselves!) on the quest for “ultimate” health—jumping from one trendy diet to the next, filling their cabinets with an arsenal of supplements, and swearing by the latest fitness advice from their favorite TikTok influencer. We're bombarded with information every day from social media, magazines, advertisements, emails, and even our friends and family. It can be hard to sort fact from fiction in today's health landscape.


    Luckily, our team of nutrition professionals is here to help you figure it out! Bring your questions and join us for this no-judgment conversation about all things nutrition and health as we cut through the B.S. and answer the question, “Just what the hell is health?”

January 28th

  • 5:30pm-6:30pm
    with Callie Lebrun,     Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist, CD

    Often, we enter the new year with big plans and dreams to change our habits. Many times, these goals are repeated year after year. We envision a year of mind over matter, biting the bullet, exercising our willpower to achieve these goals. We tend to burn out after a few weeks or months and fall back into our old habits while beating ourselves up and assuring ourselves that next January will be different. 

    Let’s change it up and develop a new perspective on health, health goals and a detailed plan on how we are going to achieve behavior changes this year. Join us! Let’s set you up for success this year!

February 11th

  • 5:30pm-6:30pm
    with Alex Awve, Director of Personal Training

    The end of the year can often send us a little off course when it comes to our personal fitness and health goals. But now that the new year is in full swing, it’s time to get back at it! Join Personal Training Director Alex Awve and explore the mindset needed to get your body back on track. This workshop will offer actionable advice and include time for questions about fitness, diet, mindset, and how to maximize your own potential. Alex will discuss trends he has seen working with hundreds of clients over his last 17 years of personal training and discuss what works, what doesn't, and fitness fads that just don't last. Attend this workshop if you are looking for a sustainable plan with key points and concepts that will last you a lifetime.

February 25th

  • 5:30pm-6:30pm
    with Callie Lebrun, Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist, CD

Starting with the basics of digestion, absorption, and metabolism, this workshop will help you get to know how your digestive system works and how it interacts with other systems in the body. Bring questions and be prepared to leave with a whole new view of the magic of the human gastrointestinal tract.

    If you’re on social media, you’ve likely encountered your fair share of “lifestyle” influencers who have a lot of suggestions about how you should be eating and, of course, what you should be buying in order to be healthy (spoiler alert: it’s their own special miracle supplements). While there may be plenty of good lifestyle and nutrition advice out there on the internet, when the “lifestyle” trap leaves us feeling unsuccessful and developing unhealthy behaviors, that’s a problem. In this discussion, Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist Callie Lebrun will define what a healthful lifestyle looks like and how you can integrate healthy intuitive eating to achieve a healthy lifestyle that works for you. You’ll learn how to recognize red flags when certain lifestyle choices start to resemble cycles of disordered eating and how leading a healthy life doesn’t have anything to do with internet health fads.
