Wellnessnews Choices for Healthy Living® helps people discover trusted, local health and wellness solutions, right in their own community.
Founded in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Wellnessnews Choices for Healthy Living® was created to bridge the gap between people seeking better health and the local practitioners who can help them achieve it.
Our Story
Founder Anna Luinenburg, owner of Advertising Connections Inc. (est. 2006), recognized a problem: valuable health information from local practitioners was not reaching the people who needed it most.
After trying to place a chiropractor’s brochure in walk in clinics and seeing little success, a deeper realization began to take shape. While accompanying her father to many medical appointments, Anna spent hours in waiting rooms, surrounded by people who were searching for answers and hoping to feel better.
In those quiet moments, she saw something clearly. Patients were already in the right place, open and looking for solutions, yet there was no simple way to connect them with the broader range of wellness options available to them.
She knew there had to be a better way. So she created one.
In 2013, Wellnessnews Choices for Healthy Living® was launched as a locally focused health and wellness publication, thoughtfully designed for distribution in hospital waiting rooms, doctors’ offices, and community business locations.
What Anna did not anticipate was that a movement would begin.
Corporations, school divisions, and community agencies started reaching out, asking to have Wellnessnews delivered to their staff rooms. The demand grew organically as organizations recognized the value of accessible, local wellness information for their teams.
For advertisers, this was a game changer. Reaching these types of workplaces is often extremely difficult, yet Wellnessnews opened the door, allowing their messages to connect with audiences in meaningful, trusted environments.

“I have been advertising in the Wellness News for the past few months and I have found it very effective in reaching my target audience. I was surprised with the number of enquiries I have received in such a short time span. I was pleasantly surprised when I found a copy in the waiting area of my personal chiropractor recently. I highly recommend it. Dr. Bea Gerbrands MBCh.B, CCFP, ABHRS, DA(SA) De Haar Hair |www.dehaarhair.ca
