On Sunday, March 25, New Leaf Community Markets will host nine local health and wellness professionals who will offer free consultations and treatments during the hours of 1pm–4pm. The practitioners offer a wide range of different services, from traditional Chinese medicine to hypnotherapy to nutrition counseling.

Coastside community members are invited to come to the New Leaf Community Classroom, at 146-A San Mateo Rd, Half Moon Bay, starting at 12:30pm to sign up for a 15-minute session with one or more of the practitioners.
