Affinity Wellness

As a start-up founded by a queer, Latinx emigrant, it is of utmost importance for Life Stages to support historically underrepresented and underinvested communities. We believe everyone has the potential to self-actualize, achieve health, and build the best current version of themselves.

As such, throughout the year, Life Stages will hold a series of free outdoor wellness events for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities across the Bay Area and Pacific Northwest. All events will be hosted and/or in collaboration with BIPOC health and wellness professionals.

Life Stages x Neuro Base Camp All-Abilities hike for brain health

The Life Stages team and Neuro Base Camp held their first event in Portland over the weekend. The all-abilities hike was all smiles as we took a brisk and social hike through Tryon Creek trail.

Neuro Base Camp specializes in helping those who have been affected by a neurological injury with physical therapy, support, and resources to recover every step of the way.

This partnership event was a great opportunity to showcase the benefits of being outdoors in community and in nature.
