We are Alternatives for Healing — a dedicated directory and community committed to helping people discover trusted holistic practitioners, wellness products, and educational resources worldwide. Our mission is to make natural healing accessible, credible, and supportive of your mind-body-spirit journey.
Our Story
Sonja grew up with serious health challenges — doctors predicted she’d be in a wheelchair by age eighteen and warned she was “pretty much allergic to everything.” Despite conventional medicine, she remained unwell and exhausted.
Determined to find a different path, Sonja turned to holistic and alternative therapies. Over time, she overcame her allergies and defied predictions: today she skis, bikes, hikes, and lives fully in the outdoors.
Her healing journey revealed deeper truths: many chronic issues stem from stress, nutrition deficits, toxic environments, energetic blockages, and emotional burden. In 2003, Sonja and her husband Victor (a web designer) launched Alternatives for Healing with one mission: make holistic wellness easy to find and trusted. The directory officially launched in April 2004 — and remains committed to connecting people like you with natural healing alternatives.
