Natural Awakenings magazine is Coastal Carolinas' healthy living magazine. We’re your guide to a healthier, more balanced life. Our goal is to provide insights and information to improve the quality of life physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

Natural Awakenings magazine has led us to connect and learn with some of the best practitioners in health and wellness field. Our family has built our Dream Team—massage therapist, nutritionist, physical therapist, yoga instructors, holistic dentist, reflexologist, aesthetician—for our family’s health and well-being.

Our mission with Natural Awakenings is to empower individuals to live a healthier lifestyle on a healthier planet, to educate communities on the latest natural health and sustainability and to connect readers with local wellness resources and events in the Coastal Carolinas and beyond, inspiring them to lead more balanced lives.
