Mission
The mission of Wissahickon Wellness® is to enhance the well-being of the greater Philadelphia area by granting communities most impacted by healthcare disparities increased access to traditional wellness practices and urban greenway spaces. We do this by fostering community engagement with both local wellness practitioners and Philadelphia’s beautiful gardens, parks and green spaces.
Values
Alternative/traditional health and healing services should be accessible and affordable
Philadelphia’s urban greenway spaces are critical to the well-being of the city’s inhabitants. These greenway spaces should be safe and accessible to all populations dwelling within the city of Philadelphia
Healing spaces should be intentionally diverse, intersectional and equitable
OUR STORY
The short version of the story is that Wissahickon Wellness® started as a response to the need for more affordable holistic wellness services in the Philadelphia area. Through relationship building, local networking and due to global shifts in the age of COVID, Wissahickon Wellness® has expanded into a local and national network of healthcare practitioners, healers, teachers, coaches and agriculturalists.
