About AHT
Rooted in community. Inspired by healing.
A Healer’s Touch is a growing cooperative expanding access to compassionate, community-centered care, holistic wellness, health education, recovery support, and trusted resource navigation.
Our mission
Expanding access to healing knowledge, supportive services, and community care.
A Healer’s Touch works to make holistic health and wellness more understandable, accessible, and connected to the realities of people’s everyday lives.
We connect people to practitioners, education, recovery support, family care, and community resources so they can heal, thrive, and live well.
Our vision
Wellness without barriers of privilege or proximity.
We envision a future where communities facing the effects of poverty and health inequity can access affordable, stigma-free holistic care and the knowledge to engage in self-healing practices.
By cultivating partnerships and community-based support, AHT seeks to strengthen resilience and reduce barriers created by social determinants of health.
Our tenets
Accessibility. Empowerment. Collaboration. Holistic care.
Empowerment
People deserve knowledge and agency when making decisions about health and wellness.
Collaboration
Healing ecosystems are stronger when practitioners, providers, and communities work together.
Holistic Approach
Health is physical, emotional, social, mental, cultural, spiritual, and collective.
