Feature Story
Walking the Wellness Trail with Suzanne Chaney:
A Local Voice for Sustainable Healing
Meet Suzanne Chaney: Chapel Hill's Wellness Trailblazer
In a town known for its blend of academic energy and Southern charm, Suzanne Chaney is carving out space for something Chapel Hill really needs: sustainable wellness that actually works.
As the founder of Wellness Trail US, Suzanne isn't pushing the latest health fad or promising overnight transformations. Instead, she's helping locals navigate wellness through four simple pillars: whole food nutrition, smart supplementation, intentional movement, and deep rest.

Visionary Voices
Quick Reminder - Our New Focus:
Chapel Hill Insider is back with a clear mission: shining a spotlight on the small businesses and nonprofits that make our community special. Every week, expect to meet local innovators, creators, and connectors who are doing meaningful work and deserve more than just word-of-mouth.
We're looking for businesses with great stories - the bakery perfecting sourdough, the nonprofit tackling food insecurity, the artist teaching kids, the consultant helping other small businesses thrive. This is about celebrating the people who choose to build something meaningful here in Chapel Hill.
Want to be featured? Know a business or nonprofit we should spotlight? Just reply to this email with their info. We're always looking for our next great story.
