We pride ourselves on offering a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach to supporting both individuals and groups of clients and practitioners, in a person-centred approach to health in Kent. Our collective of ethical and professional holistic wellness therapists and practitioners support people to prevent illness, maintain wellbeing, and balance rehabilitation and recovery. We recognise sameness and difference, and aim to teach our community more about the need for diversity for support and growth.   WHAT ARE WE ABOUT?   IT TAKES A COMMUNITY TO RAISE A COMMUNITY!   All our members are certified and insured holistic, alternative, or complementary therapists or practitioners, reverently devoted to advancing full present and conscious awareness in our community, whilst maintaining their authenticity and individuality. We are high on ethics and continuous development. We share a passion for upholding professional ethics and values to improve the experience of our clients, while ensuring our own balanced needs as therapists are met within an accessible community of unconditional acceptance and support. This environment supports us to continually develop as individuals, improve our practice, and raise the vibration in our community.   Our Collective Mission & Values are to take PRIDE into our community. We incorporate our PRIDE Mission & Values into each community gathering and our work.   Managing your own holistic wellness practice can be challenging and isolating work at times. We sometimes work alone and might not always have time to speak with others in between offering therapies and practices. We must maintain a healthy broad network of support to maintain our own healthy work/life balance and continually grow and develop, not only so we can continue doing our amazing work but also to keep clients growing in health and maintain a state of growth in our practices.   Furthermore, a multi-skilled approach to support our community is much more helpful and healthy for clients, their families, us as practitioners, our family, and social networks. In other fields of health or wellness, especially the public sector, the foundations for all decision making are multi-disciplinary, with each discipline being an expert in their field. Why should our practice or offering be any different?   Our community spaces provide you the time and capacity you need to centre and balance yourself with other grounded and alternative practitioners, discuss any challenges you are experiencing in practice or business, and find solutions as a community.   We are welcoming new members in Kent and will be holding regular gatherings in Sevenoaks, Tonbridge & Malling, Tunbridge Wells, Dartford, and Gravesham areas.   WHY JOIN US?
