OAKVILLE BEAVER Wednesday, November 4, 2009 · 14 Something for everyone at Wholistic Fair By Angela Blackburn OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF It's a toolbox for finding balance in life -- catering to the mind, body and spirit of women. That's the goal of its organizer, local nutritionist Angela Borgeest, who will present the third annual Wholistic Women's Fair next week. The fundraising event -- that this year will support Halton Women's Centre and the International Schizophrenia Society -- is Saturday, Nov. 7 at the Holiday Inn on Argus Road. It will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and feature a wide array of services, products and information. It will offer a variety of holistic choices for the whole woman, hence its name, said Borgeest. However, she is also giving thought to a name change for the fair, as she said guys should not be excluded or give it a skip because of its name. $ There will be an opening talk on iridology by Borgeest herself, a lingerie fashion show, handwriting analysis and face reading as well as 5 Tibetan Yoga, Zumba and salsa dance demonstrations and silent auctions. The annual fair, that is becoming a local tradition, boasts demonstrations, lectures, silent auctions and even chocolate that's good for you. "Some things are the same, some things are new," said Borgeest, explaining that in her talk on iridology, she'll outline how the eye is a map to one's health and how she uses a simple magnifying glass and light to delve into that. "As a nutritionist, I use iridology as an aid," said Borgeest. Her own job of taking nutrition and translating it into everyday lifestyle to create improved health is similar to the philosophy behind the fair. The fair offers new ways to look at both oneself and one's environment, RIZIERO VERTOLLI / OAKVILLE BEAVER 39 o.a.c. as low as 95 9 LOCATIONS TO SERVE YOU BETTER $3900 Up to per month ST THE BIGGE WHOLE NEW TRADITION: Angela Borgeest, a local nutritionist who has, for the third year running, organized the Wholistic Women's Health Fair.
