About Project Wellness
Curious about Reiki, breathwork, nutrition, journaling, acupuncture, or another wellness practice?
Project Wellness was created so you don't have to figure it all out alone.
We believe wellness shouldn't feel intimidating or exclusive. It should be approachable, welcoming, and rooted in community. Whether you're taking your very first step or looking to deepen your existing wellness journey, our goal is to help you discover trusted local practitioners, explore new modalities, and connect with people who genuinely care.
My name is Christine Myers, and I've had the privilege of leading Project Wellness since 2025.
Long before taking on this role, I was a Project Wellness presenter myself. Like many of our guests, I walked through the doors simply hoping to share something meaningful with my community. I never imagined it would become such a defining part of my own journey.
For more than a decade, I've explored Clark County's wellness community firsthand. I've searched for practitioners, experienced countless healing modalities, attended workshops, asked endless questions, and built relationships with the incredible professionals who make this community so special.
One thing became very clear:
Clark County is filled with extraordinary wellness providers.
The challenge isn't finding good people,it's knowing where to start.
That's exactly why Project Wellness exists.
Today, Project Wellness has grown far beyond an annual retreat. We're building opportunities for our community to connect year-round through our Wellness Market, Project Wellness Magazine, educational events, and partnerships that make local wellness more accessible than ever.
Each Fall, more than 120 guests gather for our signature retreat, a full day of workshops, wellness experiences, local vendors, meaningful conversations, and genuine connection. Every presenter and vendor is thoughtfully selected to create an experience that is educational, welcoming, and inspiring.
Born from our community's desire for connection after COVID, Project Wellness continues to grow because of the incredible people who believe wellness is something we build together.
Whether you join us for your first retreat, discover a new practitioner through our magazine, or stop by one of our community events, we hope Project Wellness becomes the place where your next chapter begins.
Welcome. We're so glad you're here.

Chakra Balancing:
Jessica Hulegaard- A certified yoga instructor.
My vision for this segment is to provide a flow that participants feel safe and empowered to repeat for their own benefit. I love how yoga stills the mind, lubricates the joints and fascia, and leaves me feeling calm, relaxed, and strong. My goal is to share this self-care tool with everyone, as yoga has been essential in my own journey of healing and growth. It's a practice that truly helps cultivate an aligned and authentic life.
