Wellness Expert Jovanka Ciares shows us how to reclaim wellness to live our best life. Her new book is Reclaiming Wellness: Ancient Wisdom For Your Healthy, Happy and Beautiful life.
Many of the most popular approaches to mind, body, and spirit wellness are rooted in age-old
practices from around the world and come from communities of color. But more often than not,
they are primarily marketed to and used by the cultural elite.

Certified wellness expert and author Jovanka Ciares reclaims these time- and science-proven modalities and makes them easy to implement for all, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, income, or social status.

“The lack of representation within the wellness industry is palpable, from practitioners and advocates to brands that seemingly cater to only one type of audience — wealthy, white Westerners,” writes Ciares. “Wellness is not for the privileged few. Wellness is a state of living that applies to all living creatures — humans, animals, and plants. And the most popular wellness practices have been practiced for millennia by people worldwide.”


Reclaiming Wellness highlights the multicultural roots of various popular health trends
and shares them to promote solidarity and inclusivity. The book includes fascinating historical
context for wellness practices like herbalism, meditation, visualization, hypnosis, yoga, plant-
based eating, sound healing, and more.
