The Florida Wellness Network is a connecting point for local health and wellness resources, news & events, networking, and marketing in Southwest Florida. We provide the community with a comprehensive guide to SW Florida's Health & Wellness Resources while sharing key health facts & practical tips for your home, family & business.
The birth of The Florida Wellness Network was a natural evolution, based on the popular FREE networking & community Wellness Wednesday mixer that I have presented for four years in Lee County. I wanted to find a way that the community could benefit from the popularity of the event, each mixer typically draws over 100 people per event, and create a 24/7 model where people could continue to find resources and share information with one another as much as possible, instead of just once a month.
The foundation for creating the Florida Wellness Network is as firm as it is for the Wellness Wednesday mixer; Educate people on the emerging health & wellness scene in Southwest Florida. There is a strong and growing green & organic movement here in Southwest Florida too and it’s important to me to let people know not only about traditional & alternative healthy & holistic options but also to expand their knowledge about organic, earth-friendly & sustainable options that are available locally that will also support the local economy.
My goal is to inform people and have them explore their choices at their own pace. Every person who is currently living a healthier or an organic lifestyle had to start somewhere. If you provide the local tools, they can start taking steps to living healthier or making the changes to go green in their community now. I am not trying to convince anyone that one way of life is “better” than another. As a provider of the information I might propel them into making changes that could modify their life for the better and (hopefully) perhaps in the long term, our planet.
Everyone has a different idea of “healthy” so at the Wellness Wednesday event we keep it light, introducing different products and practices, at a pace everyone can relate to no matter where you are at in the process of making transitions in your life. Whether you are a novice or a master, you are encouraged to participate and share with someone else. You might teach teach someone something, you might learn. You might do a little of both!
On our resource pages and on our blog, you are encouraged to look around, feel it out and see what interests you. Call on our advertisers, ask them questions. They WANT to share with you. I promise... nobody became a Vegan overnight! They had help. If you want to change your lifestyle, this is the friendliest place to start looking for information. I make it my business to know ALL of my advertisers. Want to know something about them? Send me a message on the Contact Us page and I will get back to you!
If you have a product or service that you'd like to share with the community. I encourage you to contact me, advertise with the Florida Wellness Network, showcase your business at our many events and take advantage of our promotional activities. We have many strategic partnerships and stay involved with the community, constantly giving back on a multiple of levels.
In good health! ~ Marci Gower, Owner. The Florida Wellness Network

Wellness Wednesday is a popular FREE networking mixer showcasing local Wellness practitioners as well as those who provide services to the Body, Mind, and Spirit community.
Since 2008, Wellness Wednesday has been held on the 4th Wednesday of each month. The event is held at a different venue each month in order to showcase a variety of businesses in the Southwest Florida community. The event allows local individuals with interests in wellness, health care and other eco-minded products and services to connect and network with others with similar concerns. Table top vendors share information about their businesses and attendees network and share information throughout the event.
Each Wellness Wednesday event has a theme and is often approached with a light-hearted approach. The goal is to educate the community about important health issues but with humor and in a non-threatening atmosphere.
Venues are often chosen to take the "mystery" out of a certain industry and highlight a local business owner who provides that service to the community.
Over the past 4 years Wellness Wednesday events have been held at Dance Studios, Retirement Communities, Acupuncture & Chiropractic Clinics, Health Food Stores, Center for the Visually Impaired, Metaphysical Centers, Eco-Friendly Design Studios, Banks, Family Law Practices, Bowling Alleys, Fitness Centers and more.
Join us at Wellness Wednesday and meet local health and wellness professionals in a comfortable, inviting environment. Wellness Wednesday is always open to the community. The public are encouraged to attend and meet local business owners and local people with similar interests in health and wellness.
