We have teamed up to reach the military men and women who serve our great nation and give back support to them in the form of a health and wellness day.

Both WWP and HARMONY understand the importance of mental & physical health. We share the same passion for bringing health and wellness to the men and women of this nation. Our goal is to offer an opportunity for all to receive practical steps on how to manage stress, let go of pain, and move forward towards a healthy future!
