With a shortage of wellness-focused functional medicine providers in the Boston area, Five Journeys is holding a Meet and Greet from 5:30 to 7 p.m., May 18, for individuals to determine whether its approach and providers are a good match. Five Journeys is a health and wellness company founded on the belief that health and vitality are created through five separate journeys: structural, chemical, emotional, energetic and spiritual.

Five Journeys offers primary care and gynecology services. All providers are trained in functional medicine, and use the Five Journeys’ approach to healing. It is a membership practice that accepts insurance and is accepting new members. The practitioners at Five Journeys use its own proprietary approach to uncover and treat the causes of discomfort, illness, disease and suffering. “It’s why the visits are longer, and the results are better,” says Five Journeys President Wendie Trubow.

Cost: Free. Location: 181 Wells Ave., Ste. 202, Newton. For more information, call 617-934-6400 or visit FiveJourneys.com.
