Fort Hill Activity Center is launching a series of educational talks on wellness for fitness members and the general public. The first talk will take place on Wed., Nov. 8 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. and will focus on the role of nutrition in peak wellness, featuring a Naperville practitioner, Candace Lawrence, L.Ac. from Trager Healing Center.

The event is free for Fort Hill Fitness members and $5 for non-members. Fitness members must register by phone at 630-995-8900 or in person at Fort Hill Activity Center, located at 20 Fort Hill Drive. Non-members may register online at www.napervilleparks.org.

"We are excited to begin offering this wellness series as an added benefit to our members and to the community," said Fort Hill Fitness Coordinator Kristina McGrath. "We see so many people doing a great job getting to the gym and exercising on a regular basis, and we felt that we could add to their health and wellness in other ways as well."

Future topics for 2018 may include financial wellness, emotional wellness, and fitness. The plan is to offer one wellness talk per quarter.

"Our first speaker, Candace Lawrence, has been highly recommended by those who have benefitted from her practice in nutrition and acupuncture," explained McGrath.

Lawrence's biography states that she is a graduate of Drake University, DePaul University and Midwest College of Oriental Medicine. She brings a wealth of knowledge of nutrition and takes a whole-person approach to counseling patients.
