Completed - Exhibitor Outreach Event
Southern IL Wellness Expo in Carterville IL
Congratulations to Pandora Taylor who was an exhibitor at this event on March 23rd. The event was attended by a cross section of 750 health care providers, business people and people interested in improving their health. Pandora had three requests for future presentations on Healing Touch from three organizations, 40 people stopped by her booth and learned of HT and 24 people received mini sessions. Pandora shared "I don't know if I can adequately explain the far reaching impact of this expo and the exposure".

HTWF is happy to be part of growing awareness of HT through the passion and commitment of our practitioners and the generous donations made to our HTPA fund to support Exhibitor Outreach events.
