Our History
Born in a small office in downtown Coeur d’Alene, North Idaho Wellness Magazine is the brainchild of Monica Lang Engebretsen. Created out of a need she saw in the community for free and local health and wellness information and education. North Idaho Wellness was originally launched in January of 2013 and ran every other month for over 2 years. Due to the success of her local juice and smoothie business, The Wellness Bar, Monica could no longer do both and the magazine and run her rapidly growing business and the magazine was put to rest at the end of 2015.
With the Wellness Bar thriving and a full team in place, the magazine was brought back at the end of 2019 and republished in March of 2020 with the same core values and quality local content.
