WHY A HOLISTIC HEALTH FAIR? 

     The Gainesville Holistic Health Fair helps people in our local and wider community to become familiar with alternative modalities and practitioners, and learn about the benefits of holistic medicine. 
     Visitors to the health fair can meet holistic health care practitioners in person and have an opportunity to experience an abbreviated healing session.  They learn more about alternative medicine than they already know, and can explore discoveries about health and nutrition that have recently come to light. 
     Visitors can join workshops and classes that offer a variety of empowering self-care and alternative skills and understanding that can help keep them out of the hospital. 
     Funds raised by the Gainesville Holistic Health Fair will benefit our local nonprofit organization, Three Aunties, which works to nurture environmental awareness and a spiritual connection with nature as a basis for how people choose to live.
