Honoured to Be Named a Finalist for the Legacy Builder Award

Being named a Top 5 finalist for the Legacy Builder Award with the Authority Awards is a deeply meaningful honour.

From building self-care tools and healing-centered programs to celebrating World Tai Chi and Qigong Day as part of our Blue Zone vision for community wellbeing, this acknowledgement strengthens my commitment to helping others reconnect with the body’s remarkable capacity to heal.

Podcasthon 2026: Amplifying Wellness Through Community

For the second year, the Greenwell Center for Holistic Health is proud to participate in Podcasthon, joining podcasters around the world who dedicate an episode to sharing the story and impact of nonprofit organizations making a difference.

In this special episode, Dr. Michelle Greenwell and Natascha Polomski explore the work of the Canadian Association of BioEnergetic Wellness and highlight CanBeWell.org as a growing resource for wellness plans, courses, events, and community support. Together, they discuss the importance of empowering people with practical skills—such as muscle monitoring and biofeedback—so individuals can become active participants in their own wellness journey rather than focusing solely on dis-ease.

Paired with a joyful cup of Playtime Tea from the Cape Breton Tea Company, this conversation celebrates collaboration, education, and the power of community to support mental health awareness and holistic wellbeing.
