Wellness Club is coming!

If you have shopped in the store over the past couple of days, you may have noticed the white-walled enclosure where our Health Start Here product aisle and Seafood freezer used to be.  Products in the grocery department have also moved around (new store maps are available to help you find what you are looking for).  The reason for these changes is very exciting…

Whole Foods Market Dedham will become the first store in the history of the company to establish a Wellness Club under its roof.  The mission of the Wellness Club is to provide an inviting environment where members are empowered to make educated and positive lifestyle choices that promote their long-term health and well-being through coaching, delicious food and a supportive community.  It will feature courses and lectures developed by medical doctors, inspirational and informative skill-building classes, supper clubs and special events, coaching and support.  Plus, members will get a 10% discount when they shop for healthy foods. 

Wellness Club Team Leader, Heather Hardy, will be heading up the program.  She is a certified Holistic Health Counselor and has served as a Family Health Specialist and Health Counselor for Nutritious America.  Prior to coming to Whole Foods Market, she served as Director of Summer Arts at Middlesex School in Concord.  Heather is a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.

The Wellness Club will open mid-August 2011.
