'Dr. Legs' Holds Wellness Soirée in Northwest

The first was held at a private residence in East Hampton on Saturday afternoon.

Dr. Emily Spilchal, a podiatrist and creator of the best-selling fitness DVDs "Catwalk Confidence" and "Stiletto Recovery," threw the party on Musket Lane in the Northwest Woods to benefit Soles4Souls. She's often referred to as "Dr. Legs."

The organization "collects new shoes to give relief to the victims of abject suffering and collects used shoes to support micro-business efforts to eradicate poverty," according to the event planners. 

One component of the wellness event was an "Ask the Doctors" panel, which was comprised of Splichal, PIX 11’s Dr. Steve Salvatore, an emergency physician who also hosted, chiropractor Dr. Daren Pollack and , a periodontist based in Wainscott.

About 70 guests sampled services; Dasha Wellness provided massages, Wink Eco Beauty provided manicures and pedicures and Shana Lee of The Body Sattva offered reflexology services.

Chef Brian Johnson prepared healthy appetizers from fruit skewers to curry chicken salad on cucumber rounds.

Hostess provided wellness gift bags with products worth over $500 from a number of our sponsors.

Splichal is currently calculating all proceeds from the event, so the amount was not immediately available.
