Deb Peterson’s Wellness Gala is celebrating its 11th year in business with a free event on March 10, from 1 to 5 p.m., in Parsippany. Since the first Wellness Gala took place in 2008, there have been over 300 events nationwide. This year, Peterson and the Wellness Gala team have decided to thank their loyal participants and sponsors with a free admission that includes unlimited mini sessions with experts in the fields of health, beauty and wellness, hor d’oeurves, unique vendors, live music and Shira, a pet communicator.

         As the Wellness Gala founder and CEO, Peterson knows firsthand that holistic modalities can work miracles. When traditional medicine failed to yield results for her son, she turned to energy healing, which she credits for ultimately curing him of his ailments. This inspired her to create these specialized gatherings designed to spread awareness about holistic modalities and educate the public on the benefits of these highly effective treatment options and how they can be used in conjunction with traditional medicine.

         Space is limited and a cash bar is available.

Location: Sheraton Hotel, 199 Smith Road, Parsippany. For more information, call 973-713-6811 or visit WellnessGala.com/events/.
