CELEBRATE IS an appropriate verb for what's happening in the healing and wellness community today! When Dee and I established the print publication Twin Cities Wellness newspaper in 1995, our mission was to educate and inform the Upper Midwest about the rising crest of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)--as it was called then--and which today has become mainstream. No one uses the term "alternative" any longer and "complementary" is even losing its meaning as related to integrative healthcare. TC Wellness became Essential Wellness magazine to reach the larger regional audience and we've kept expanding ever since to reach a worldwide audience with our digital magazine and our "Celebrate" e-newsletters. This issue of "Celebrate Healing & Wellness Services" circles us back to where we began, highlighting some of the "who's who" in the healing/wellness community--but now regionally and country-wide!

                The next topic-based e-newsletter comes out Aug.1: "Celebrate Energy Healers." Click here for more info about upcoming issues.

                Everyone is molting, shedding old skins to embrace the new world that is here. Essential Wellness/Celebrate Wellness continues to evolve and remains vitally alive after 18 years. That is something to celebrate! We have you to thank.
