'We love what we do': Exhibitors return for 9th annual Health and Wellness Expo in Regina

For the exhibitors at Regina’s ninth annual Health and Wellness Expo, a healthy lifestyle is a passion.

For the exhibitors at Regina’s ninth annual Health and Wellness Expo, a healthy lifestyle is a passion.

Just over 29 years ago, Rick Thiessen founded what would become the Expo after being spurred on by a relative’s critical back injury.

“I spent over $3,000 over eight months trying to find a solution to the problem. We eventually did find a solution, a natural healer that solved the problem in two sessions,” Thiessen said.

“I was angry and I wanted to find out ‘why does this information not exist anywhere? Why do people have to always search for something in a state of desperation?’”

The solution: a hub for healing of all types and practices.

From neuromuscular therapy to osteopathic medicine and almost everything in between, the Expo offers a place for those in need to access information when other options are exhausted.

“People can look at it in a safe environment. Don’t come in desperation. Don’t let them tell you how it tastes, taste it. Don’t tell them how it feels, feel it,” Thiessen explained.
