Wallingford Wellbeing · Founding members

The practitioners who look after Wallingford.

Every practitioner here gave their weekend free to the Micro-Wellbeing Festival at BunkFest 2026, and every one of them is a founding member of Wallingford Wellbeing. Yoga, breathwork, homeopathy, massage, psychotherapy, art and more, all local.
