Happiest of New Years to you! To jump start the 2017 year for Natural Awakenings Tucson, we’ve compiled an extensive list of healthy living practitioners and business owners in the area. Keep this issue close all year long, and you’ll have excellent, healthy recommendations at your fingertips.

The Health and Wellness Directory, starting on page 30, will be your comprehensive guide to Tucson’s best in wellness, from Acupuncture to Yoga. I’m sure that taking a look through these pages will help you find your next healing modality, or teach you about a practice that you didn’t know was available to you and your family. Also peruse our Practitioner Profiles, where you’ll get to meet many of Tucson’s best in more detail.

We’ll also take a look at overall holistic wellness, from holistic skin care practices (page 16) to “Functional Medicine for Pets” (page 56). In “Affordable Complementary Care”, on page 24, Meredith Montgomery delves into the options of cheaper alternatives to health insurance, and how we can afford the health care that we sometimes need.

Wishing you the healthiest 2017,

Holly
