Our team will be providing complimentary mobile chair massages to attendees at the signature Wellness Lounge, sponsored by UKG for the second year in a row!

Spots for chair massages get signed up pretty quickly, so please check our booth during break times to sign up and reserve a spot!

Wellness Pop-Up Boutique: Advocating for Self-Care and Wellness

Employees often struggle to find time for self-care and ways to improve their well-being. If you are looking for wellness products for your employees to use at the office or those who work remotely from their homes, stop by our Wellness Pop-Up Boutique! We have an assortment of wellness products you can select from to help your employees on the path to wellness!

Wellness gifts are a great way to reward your employees for their hard work and to show your appreciation. We offer special pricing for purchasing in volume. Or, if you have a specific budget in mind, we can help you customize the right wellness gifts for them.

Here are some highlights of our Wellness Pop-Up Boutique from last year’s conference. We will be bringing new products this year so please stop by and check them out.

If you are looking for wellness products for yourself to use at work, at home, or on the go, we will be selling the items at the conference. We will also have samples you can try out before purchasing.

Also available is our aromatherapy bar featuring our 100% PURE, therapeutic-grade essential oil collection. These are natural remedies extracted from plants to improve the mind, body, and spirit. Aromatherapy is a form of therapy that uses plant essence, also known as essential oils, to promote relaxation, improve a sense of well-being, and support the body’s natural healing processes. Guests at our complimentary chair massages can experience aromatherapy during their sessions. You can experience aromatherapy yourself at home as we will have our signature essential oils available for sale.
