Rhonda Giddings, owner of Giddings Acupuncture, is opening a new business soon, Zen & Now Wellness, at 6009 Allentown Boulevard, Paxton Square, in Harrisburg. The new venture in healing for the community promises to be a one-stop-shop for traditional Eastern herbal medicine, halotherapy, acupuncture, massage and more.

 

Giddings says, “It is an opportunity for the community to gain access to multiple health and wellness tools and treatments, and a place for fledgling healers to get their wings. The premise for this health and wellness center is based upon the archaic idea of an apothecary.” In the mid-14th century, this meant a shopkeeper, especially one that gathers, stores, compounds and sells herbal and other medicaments for the health and betterment of the people they serve.

 

She will help to empower patrons to change toward the optimum they seek—never replacing their primary care physician and medicine, but adding the personal touch to their individual situation. Giddings advises. “As customers, clients, guests and friends become empowered to seek and utilize those things to help change their optimum, they become advocates of their own health and wellness, and ultimately, they become their own apothecary!”
