Health insurance can feel overwhelming, especially when Medicare enters the conversation. We loved hearing from Erin, owner of Vimirra Insurance, at WIN Concord! 💙

Erin loves helping people who are turning 65 and new to Medicare, current Medicare beneficiaries, early retirees, and entrepreneurial individuals and families. She takes the time to explain their options and help them find coverage that fits their needs and lifestyle.

Want to learn more about Medicare? Erin offers a **free Medicare seminar the second Thursday of the month at the Lake Norman Chamber of Commerce**. It’s an opportunity to ask questions and get a clearer understanding of your options.

Thank you, Erin, for sharing your knowledge with us Erin!

💻 Is your website helping customers find your business, or quietly sending them to your competition?

Meet Charleigh and Eric Phillips, the father-and-daughter team behind PathPoint Services! They help small businesses create professional websites that don’t just look good. They are built to attract customers and help businesses grow.

Eric previously owned his own business and understands how difficult it can be to find the time and money to create and maintain a professional website while running a business. That experience helped inspire PathPoint’s affordable monthly plans and hands-on approach.

Charleigh explained during the presentation, they aren’t just another website agency. They want to be your ongoing web partner.

🖥️ Professional website design
📱 Mobile-, tablet-, and desktop-friendly websites

Their websites are built with proper structure, metadata, technical SEO, and search performance in mind from day one. They can also evaluate your website’s:

⭐ Authority score
📈 Organic traffic
🔑 Keyword gaps
🔗 Backlink profile
🔎 Technical and design issues

Website plans start at $299 per month allowing small-business owners to spread out the cost instead of paying thousands upfront. Plans are available for businesses at different stages, from those just getting started to established companies ready for advanced features and continued growth.

After the initial 12-month build phase, website maintenance is available for **$99 per month** and includes hosting, security updates, uptime monitoring, light content changes, ongoing support, and Google Analytics reporting.

Not sure what your current website needs? PathPoint offers a **FREE website assessment** identifying SEO concerns, technical problems, design weaknesses, and competitive gaps. You’ll receive their top three recommended improvements with no obligation and no sales pressure.

🌿 This week, our group enjoyed learning from Rachell Doriott Grounds & Dr. Jen Doriott, DC from Vital Source Functional Medicine. 🌿

Dr. Jen Doriott is a function medicine practitioner and Doctor of Chiropractic, and Rachell works alongside her as a nutritional health coach.

You might be wondering...what IS functional medicine? Functional medicine is a personalized approach to healthcare that tries to understand WHY someone is experiencing symptoms, not only HOW to manage those symptoms.

They do this to better understand the patterns and root causes that may be affecting your health. From there they develops personalized care plans with realistic and sustainable changes that can be incorporated into everyday life.

Vital Source Functional Medicine offers support for:

🦋 Autoimmune disease
🌿 Gut health and digestion
🧒 Children’s health
💚 Children with autism
✨ Skin problems
⚖️ Hormone and metabolic health

You can expect:

🥗 Meal planning and food preparation
🏡 Creating healthier habits for the entire household
💪 Building consistency and sustainable lifestyle changes
😴 Improving sleep and daily routines
🧘 Managing stress and creating more balance
✅ Making health changes feel practical instead of overwhelming

Vital Source also offers several free educational guides on its website, including resources covering gut health, autoimmune disease, autism support, and a Paleo 30-Day Reset.

Thank you, Rachell & Dr. Jen, for sharing your knowledge with us and reminding us that healthier living does not have to feel overwhelming. Small, consistent changes can make a meaningful difference! 💚

What a wonderful Visitor’s Day at WIN Concord! 💜

We loved meeting so many amazing women in business from our community and learning more about what they do. If you missed Visitor’s Day, don’t worry. You’re welcome to visit us any Tuesday from 9–10 a.m. Visitor’s Day isn’t the only day to come see what WIN Concord is all about!

We also had the awesomely talented Brandy Aldrich of Photography by Brandy Lee share some of her best iPhone photography tips and tricks. You have no idea what incredible photos your phone can take until you learn from one of the best! 📱📸

Brandy loves working with families, newborns, children and more. As a boutique photographer, she believes your favorite images shouldn’t stay trapped inside a camera or phone. She will even come to your home and help you choose the perfect photographs and artwork to fill your walls. Busy moms don’t have time to figure all of that out, and with Brandy, they don’t have to!

Brandy also generously volunteers her time each year for the Pooch Playoffs. This year, she photographed 16 adorable pooches, with all proceeds benefiting Piedmont Animal Rescue. Pooch Playoffs is a March Madness-style bracket competition where two dogs face off in each round and the public votes for the cutest pooch. The winners continue advancing until one is crowned the “Ulti-Mutt Cutie!” 🐾🏆

Another special experience Brandy offers is her Simply Me gallery show. She photographs children just being themselves, capturing their expressions, personalities and all the little details that make them unique. Each child is celebrated through timeless black-and-white portraits and featured as a work of art in a community gallery show. 🖤📷

Thank you, Brandy, for sharing your talent with us and for everything you do for families and animals in our community!
