Founders Note
I’ve spent years looking for answers about health – reading, researching, trying things out, getting it wrong, changing direction, and trying again. I don’t have all the answers. But I’ve learned that it helps having a tribe to make sense of all the information out there.
I believe in herbal medicine. I believe food matters. I believe the body wants to heal, but most people aren’t given the space, tools or knowledge to let that happen. I also believe health isn’t linear. Sometimes things work, then they stop working. Sometimes you have to pivot.
The truth is, when you step away from conventional medicine and start taking responsibility for your own health, it can feel really isolating.
Friends and family don’t always understand and most shut down the conversation before it even begins.
So when you go against the grain, when you become the black sheep, there’s nothing more grounding than finding people who truly get it.
Not people who agree with everything you say, but people who are willing to listen.
People who think for themselves.
People who are open to questioning the mainstream and exploring what health really means.
That’s why I created this space.
This site isn’t here to tell you what to do. It’s just a place to start. A space for curious people who want to explore holistic health without all the noise and supported by a community of like-minded people.
If that’s you, welcome. I hope you feel at home.
Shauna @ The Wellness List What This Site Is
The Wellness List is a collection of blog posts, ideas, tips, and stories focused on natural health, alternative healing, and the many different ways we take care of ourselves when mainstream medicine comes up short. It is NOT medical advice and should never be used as a substitute for working with a professional.
Right now, it’s mostly a blog.
Soon, it will also be a directory – THE place to find holistic health professionals who actually care, who get it, and who are doing good work.
If You’re a Practitioner
I see you, too.
If you’re a nutritionist, coach, functional medicine practitioner or healer of any kind I have a dedicated hub for you. I have a wealth of business development experience alongside my studies in nutrition and herbalism and I’m here to make sure you don’t fall into the trap of trading your goal of helping as many people as possible with burning out yourself.
I strongly believe professionals in the wellness space deserve to be financially comfortable and have a wealth of resources to help you achieve this.
Eventually, the directory will open for listings. I’ll make sure you hear about it.
