Pathways Connect: More than a Magazine, It's a Movement

Pathways Connect: Establishing the Wellness Community, Empowering Parents to make Conscious Choices

The Why:

Now, more than ever, parents need a local tribe to connect, share and learn with. As practitioners, we recognize they need quality information and on-going support to make their own conscious choices for their families' well-being. What better place than your practice to host a gathering of parents where this much-needed communication is fostered?

The Results:

Pathways magazine offers its readers a wide array of topics relevant to the family wellness lifestyle. Live, in-person participants, become empowered in their wellness choices and become true advocates in your community. 

Parents who participate in these PC Groups form lasting relationships with you and each other. It's a simple way to deepen your relationship with these parents and help them form new relationships with other parents. Encouraging your patients to bring in family and friends expands your outreach to many more families. 

Dr. John Edwards, ICPA Member, Diplomate and now instructor says, "You have been given an opportunity to run a turn-key marketing system in Pathways that works at a social media level, a sit-down meeting level, and at a community-building level. It’s all there for you. You don’t have to think about a darn thing. You don’t have to write a blog. You don’t have to write a newsletter. You don’t need to be a graphic artist. You don’t need to re-invent a marketing calendar."
