I had just moved to Tahoe when my boyfriend died by suicide.
I was 23, in a new town where I didn't know anybody well enough to call at midnight.
I went looking for help in the local wellness community, and I couldn't find it. Not because it wasn't here. There are over 500 modalities that help people, and dozens of practitioners in this area doing incredible work. But, they were scattered across word of mouth, Instagram, and websites last updated in 2019. If you didn't already know what you were looking for, you weren't going to find it.
So I stopped looking and started building. The healers here carried me through the worst of it. They still help me grow, every single day. Putting them in front of the people looking for them turned out to be the whole job. Your road probably looks different from mine. Chronic pain, a diagnosis, a hard year, or just the ache of not being known in the place you live. It doesn't matter. The point is the same: somebody down the road can help, and you shouldn't have to search for ours to find them.
That's what Healer Hive is for. Find a healer. Learn who can support you. Ask real questions in your town's chat and get answered by someone who lives here.
If one person feels less alone because of Healer Hive, all of it was worth it to me.
