Bridge Street Collective offers alternative paths to wellness

The white and black house at 5454 Bridge Street in Roscoe has become a center for wellness and health. The building has been unoccupied for several years, but is now the home of Bridge Street Collective.

Dakota Felkkowski initially rented the Bridge Street property, but said she didn’t need the entire house. “I decided to offer space to businesses that promote health and wellness.”

Three health-oriented businesses are now under the Bridge Street Collective umbrella:

• Dakota Felckowski Wellness
• Take Charge Modern Holistic Health
• Caya Massage and Wellness Center

Coincidentally, all three women are graduates of Hononegah Community High School.

Dakota Felckowski is a nurse practitioner who specializes in health coaching and nutritional hair analysis. She has opened a wellness center - Bridge Street Collective - in Roscoe, IL.

Dakota has an extensive background in nursing. She has a bachelor degree in nursing from Northern Illinois University, and a nurse practitioner and holistic nutrition degree from Rush University in Chicago. She previously worked in pediatrics at Swedish American Clinic in Roscoe. Dakota specializes in nutritional hair analysis and health coaching. From four strands of hair scanned through a computer, she is able to assess what is impacting the client’s health.

She incorporates one to one coaching with the clients for a minimum of three months. Clients are also required to keep a food journal.

“I am all about getting to the underlying cause of health problems.”

Interviews and consultations are conducted virtually. Appointments are booked through her website: dakotafelckowski.com or email: hello@dakotafelckowski.com

Abbie Honaker specializes in hormone and gut health. She combines modern technology with natural and holistic practice, and coaching to achieve maximum health.

Tucked in a former garage right next to Bridge Street Collective is a charming little specialty jewelry shop – Linkt. The unique jewelry store features clasp-less, permanent jewelry.

Instead of a clasp, owner Katie Thompson welds the pieces together to create custom fitted permanent necklaces, anklets and bracelets.

The beautiful little shop is open on Saturdays 11 am - 3 pm, and Sundays 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Katie also sells her jewelry at pop-ups in the Rockford area as well as private parties.
