We need YOU in order to make this health fair a success!

An amazing array of holistic health practitioners will demonstrate and explain their unique healing skills.  There will be music, art, poetry, dance, workshops, and fun things for families with children.  The health fair was created to give our community an opportunity to speak with a wide variety of holistic health practitioners and see and experience their specialties. 

The Gainesville Holistic Health Fair provides our local and wider community with an opportunity for people to become more familiar with alternative modalities and practitioners, and learn about the benefits of alternative medicine and complementary modalities.  Visitors to the health fair meet holistic health care practitioners and have an opportunity to experience a sample healing session.  They are introduced to empowering self-care and alternative techniques and philosophies that can help keep them healthy.
