North Alabama Holistic Practitioners

A grassroots collective founded in Huntsville AL on a mission to facilitate collaborative holistic healthcare and education in our local community🌱

Dear Holistic Health Community and Friends,

As we prepare to transition into the quieter, reflective seasons of Autumn and Winter, Nature invites us to slow down, turn inward, and embrace the cycles of introspection and rest. This time of hibernation allows us to nurture our inner worlds and sow the seeds of personal transformation.

At NAHP, we recognize the importance of this seasonal shift and stand ready to support you as we embark on this sacred journey of healing. Like rich soil, NAHP provides foundation for growth, offering nourishment through our gatherings, connections, and shared wisdom.

With open hearts and a deep sense of purpose, we are excited to announce our re-emergence. At a time when our world craves healing and connection more than ever, NAHP stands as a gathering place for holistic health professionals who are dedicated to nurturing both the well-being of others and their own growth.

We believe that healing happens most powerfully when we come together. NAHP was created to bring holistic practitioners into a shared space of collaboration, where our collective wisdom, experiences, and unique gifts can uplift one another and the communities we serve. Our mission is rooted in love, and it guides us as we empower each other to walk confidently in our paths as healers.

At NAHP, we are committed to:

Fostering Networking and Collaboration: Our community is a space for building heart-felt connections; for practitioners to not only network but to form meaningful relationships, where we can offer each other support, share resources, and create a stronger foundation for holistic health in North Alabama. Together, we can recreate the referral systems and healing circles that sustain our work and well-being.
Sacred Conversations & Provider Gatherings: Every two months, we gather to share in conversations. We believe sacred exchange is the heart of our meetings. These intimate discussions provide a safe, supportive space for holistic practitioners to share their experiences, challenges, and insight. We listen deeply and speak with authenticity, creating an atmosphere of trust and mutual growth. These moments give us the opportunity to reflect on our work, stay connected to local developments in the field, and offer the encouragement that only fellow healers can provide.
Sharing Our Light with the Community: A core part of our mission is to ensure the community knows we are here and understands the invaluable benefits of our services. By educating the public, we aim to raise awareness of holistic health practices and demonstrate the comprehensive care we offer. This is a Call to Action to show up in the community for yourself and your industry.

Whether you are new to the field or have walked this path for many years, NAHP welcomes you with open arms. We know that each of us holds a piece of the whole, and together, we can create a stronger, more connected community of holistic health professionals. Let’s embrace this opportunity to uplift our industry and the lives we touch with grace, professionalism, and heart-centered care.

We invite you to join us at our upcoming events, where we will gather to share in our collective wisdom and co-create the future of holistic health in North Alabama. As the collective unconscious reflects and restores, we are here as the fertile ground that enriches your process, helping you deepen your practice and emerge renewed, ready to serve your community with clarity and purpose.

We look forward to reconnecting with you soon.

With Love & Life,

Leah, Rashelle and Titus/Your NAHP Team

We know massage will make us move better and feel happier if we make time for regular appointments. Luckily massage is great preventive care and it can have some instantly-gratifying results. Check out these 3 things massage can help you with right now.

Headaches

Tension headaches (often called stress headaches) are the most common type of headaches among adults.

Pain or pressure in your forehead or on the top or sides of your head? Could be a tension headache. It's especially likely if you've been hunching over a desk or some knitting, spent a ton of time in a car, or if you're wearing your shoulders like earrings.

Massage can help get rid of that headache and regular massage may well keep it from coming back. (If you want to geek out about tension headaches and try a few self-massage techniques, check out this article.)

Low Back Pain

A major research study was published in 2011 showing that massage therapy was better than drugs and usual care for general lower back pain. Better than drugs. I just had to say that twice.

Just about everyone will experience low back pain at some point in their life. If it happens to you, don't suffer. Schedule a session with me at Appointments | Leah Varner (square.site) and get back into action.

Irritability

Have you ever been so cranky you got on your own nerves? Yeah, me, too. It isn’t fun. When you feel yourself biting everyone’s head off when they ask you a question, it might be time for some self-care.

Massage is great for stress relief. You get to shut off all the things that buzz and chime and aggravate you to the point of eye twitches. Music, silence, warmth, massage. All the cranky disappears.

This is dual purpose. You'll feel better and all the people around you will be happier that you're back to your sunny self.

Got a headache, low back pain, or a case of the grumpies? Get a massage scheduled at Appointments | Leah Varner (square.site) and we’ll handle that fast.
