ABŌDE Wellness Lounge Includes Apogée Fertility
Owner Christan Hunsbedt, LMBT, designed the newly renovated ABŌDE Wellness Lounge, in Davidson, North Carolina, to house her business, Apogée Fertility, and as a place to seek lifestyle wellness with halotherapy and an infrared sauna. The practice has also quickly welcomed a community of familyfocused wellness providers, lifestyle coaches and clean-living enthusiasts. ABŌDE offers flexible and competitively priced options to holistic practitioners and wellness providers considering adding a location in the Lake Norman area.
“From the moment you step into ABŌDE, the collaborative environment welcomes you warmly,” says Hunsbedt, one of the few Merciér Therapy certified practitioners in North Carolina and trained directly with founder Jennifer Merciér. “From the plant wall, a Scandinavian interior, the beautiful Salt Lounge and infrared sauna, ABŌDE is the ideal space to ‘be well.’”
Merciér Therapy is a safe, gentle, deep, pelvic visceral manipulation protocol that effects better organ mobility and restores blood flow so optimal pelvic organ function returns.
Hunsbedt has studied natural fertility for 10 years, is also certified in myofascial release, prenatal massage, cupping, lymphatic, massage labor support and neuromuscular therapy. She offers free fertility phone consultations.
Location: 610 Jetton St., Ste. 210. For more information or to make an appointment, text 704-401-7428, email ApogeeFertility@gmail.com or visit www.AbodeWellnessLounge.com or www.ApogeeFertility.com.
