We know how important it is to keep your audience engaged as wellness professionals, but we also understand how difficult it can be to come up with new and exciting content. That’s why we created this ultimate list of social media holidays – perfect for wellness pros like chiropractors, acupuncturists, wellness coaches, nutritionists, or yoga therapists.
These holidays provide the perfect opportunity to share relevant content, connect with your followers, and even attract new people. From Self-love Month to World Menopause Month, these special days and weeks are an excellent way to spark conversations, offer advice, or simply celebrate wellness.
And a quick reminder – don’t forget to look up and use any relevant hashtags if you post about these holidays. They tend to change from year to year, especially when there’s a non-profit organization behind the “event.”
