6 Berks County Wellness Businesses to Support Your Health Goals This Spring
For many of us, the new year means setting new goals, establishing healthier habits, and making intentions and resolutions that help us reach our full potential.
A recent Forbes study revealed that more and more people are interested in improving their mental health, not just their physical health and appearance in the new year. We agree that true health is holistic—a unity of mind, body, and spirit!
Thankfully, the communities of Reading and Wyomissing are full of soul-soothing and wellness-boosting local businesses that can help you cultivate the best version of yourself, both inside and out.
We’ve compiled a list of our favorite health-conscious local restaurants, spa, fitness studios, and healing practitioners who can help you take your health into your own hands and make a change for the better this year. Get ready to invest in your self-care—and thank us later!
Eco-Therapy
The Salt Lounge is a holistic wellness center using the ancient healing properties of salt. Salt therapy, or halotherapy, has been proven to provide simple relief from pain and inflammation, leaving you feeling relaxed and renewed from the inside out. Their salt “caves” are designed to create the ideal microclimate of temperature, humidity, and minerals to yield the most therapeutic results for your body and mind. Want to double up on healing? Sign up for a reiki healing, massage, and reflexology session within the salt rooms. And to spread the joy even farther, consider hosting a private yoga class or other intimate event in their space!
Get Movin’
Body Zone Sports and Wellness Complex is a massive 160,000 sq. ft. facility offering the complete health experience for the entire family. Their award-winning and state-of-the-art fitness and aquatics center features two indoor pools, a running track, ice rink, sports fields and courts, and even a child care center. Outside of their “open play” times, their group exercise classes are staffed with fitness instructors, coaches, and sports medicine practitioners waiting to guide you to your health goals. So no matter the weather or season, you can get your workout in. We definitely recommend the monthly and annual membership program to get the most bang for your buck!
Enchanting & Eclectic
All things “witchy and woo” have been trending lately, and we’re on board! Integrative Healing Arts Studio provides holistic services for the body, mind and spirit, including massage therapy, cupping, and energy medicine. Within the studio you will also find a wellness and metaphysical boutique offering crystals, handcrafted candles, aromatherapy products, herbal supplements, and other earth-based products to help you feel grounded and glowing. They also offer a wide variety of classes and consulting so you can deep dive into your healing journey with complementary and alternative methods from around the world.
Nutritious & Delicious
Ready to go out to eat AND feel good doing it? The Farmhouse Kitchen is a one-of-a-kind local restaurant featuring scratch-made, farm-fresh, seasonally sourced items accommodating a variety of food sensitivities and special dietary needs. All ingredients are non-GMO, as organic as they come, consciously sourced, and “whole until prepared.” Perhaps the most impressive and unique part of their model is that they have removed 90% of the oil and refined sugar from their recipes due to emerging nutritional science. Want to learn more? The restaurant becomes a classroom after hours, featuring panels of holistic wellness practitioners and providers who share information for people on the quest for optimum health.
Clean & Green
They say ‘cleanliness is next to godliness’ and we agree. That’s why we love supporting Eco-Friendly Cleaning by Sabrina, one of the first and only woman-owned eco-friendly cleaning companies in Berks County. Sabrina and her team deliver the dream of a clean home, which is a wonderful form of self-care—studies show that our environment affects our health and happiness. A cleaning service also frees up your time and energy (and sanity!) so you can focus on what really matters in life. The best part? EFCBS is committed to your family’s health and protecting the environment, using only biodegradable, natural cleaners and disinfectants which improve indoor air quality and lessen environmental contamination. It’s a win-win!
