White Oak Wellness opened its doors for business on Thursday, January 18. This innovative new business is conveniently located at 2828 Holt Street, in South Ashland and is quite unique with all that it has to offer. From holistic health care to a diverse selection of homeschooling opportunities, White Oak Wellness is sure to become a fan favorite for all who enter.
Candice Steele, the Owner/Founder of White Oak Wellness is a certified herbalist, Doula, and also holds a BA in Elementary Education. Steele has been working in holistic health care options and offering homeschool classes for about 12 years now and just recently decided it was time to give her business a home base. “I had recently experienced an uptick in people requesting my services, so I decided that it was time to just put it out there in the public eye and see what happens,” explained Steele.
White Oak Wellness currently offers a wide array of services including the following: Individual wellness consultations, muscle testing/kinesiology, bodywork, homeopathy, sound healing, weekly wellness classes that will focus on mindfulness, forest soaking, diastasis recti support, pelvic floor support, face yoga, Qi Gong, and dance. Steele also offers birth work classes such as doula, lactation support, and childbirth classes. Steele also offers an on-site apothecary which includes natural supplements and care products.
Something that is unique to White Oak Wellness is the center's support for homeschooled families throughout the community. Offering classes from music to math, White Oak Wellness strives to put the needs of homeschooled families at the forefront of every class added to the schedule. The curriculum that Steele offers goes beyond traditional subjects, aiming to foster a well-rounded education. Parents in the South Ashland community and beyond will appreciate the alternative learning opportunities provided by this holistic hub. The interactive and engaging classes create a vibrant learning environment that complements the diverse needs of homeschooling families. Steele is very passionate about holistic living and believes that education should extend beyond textbooks. The classes not only focus on academic excellence but also on the mental, emotional, and physical development of the students.
As this new venture unfolds for Steele, it is poised to redefine education and modern health care by emphasizing a holistic approach. “My intention is to make available community gatherings, educational opportunities, and offer services to others via wellness session work, consultations, classes and by offering natural products,” noted Steele. With over 12 years of experience under her belt, Steele knows her craft very well and is looking forward to catering to the community’s needs for holistic healthcare options and homeschooling support.
