This month, we are proud to present the 2025 Natural Living Directory for Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess counties—a comprehensive guide designed to connect you with the leading practitioners, businesses, and holistic experts in our community. Whether you are exploring new integrative therapies, seeking nutritional guidance, or striving for a more balanced lifestyle overall, this issue aims to be a year-round reference that inspires and guides you along your wellness journey.

Each practitioner and business showcased in this year’s directory holds unique expertise, from chiropractic care and integrative medicine to energy healing and financial planning. Our lineup of 2025 Wellness Dream Team Profiles, which provide an in-depth look at the dedicated professionals shaping the local, natural health landscape, begins on page 22. A section of informative Business Spotlights to keep you informed of offerings, specialties, and practitioners within the region follows that on page 29. Starting on page 50, you’ll find a comprehensive section of Directory Listings, which serve as a valuable guide to help you locate practitioners through category headings and detailed descriptions. Additionally, the Natural Living Glossary, beginning on page 52, provides clear definitions of key terms in holistic health.

Our March feature story is all about personalized nutrition and self-care from the inside out—an essential foundation for true well-being. To be sure, the relationship between what we consume and how we feel is profound, influencing everything from energy levels to cognitive function and overall vitality. Within these pages, you will find expert insights on mindful eating, nutrient-dense foods, spring recipes, and holistic approaches that I hope empower you to make informed choices for long-term health. As the vibrant energy of spring emerges, so does the opportunity to cultivate a year of optimal health and well-being.

Curating and designing this issue has been an exciting and rewarding experience, and I am truly inspired by the incredible businesses, owners, and practitioners we’ve featured. Personally, I can’t wait to visit these experts myself and experience the benefits of their services firsthand. Be sure to hold onto this issue as your indispensable guide to keep handy throughout the year. And share it with friends and family, too! Plus, take advantage of the wealth of knowledge available both in print and online at our website WakeUpNaturally.com.

Wishing you a year of fulfillment, zest, and mind-body harmony,

P.S. I invite you to connect with us in person at the Awaken Wellness Fair on March 30. Stop by our booth and share your thoughts—we always love hearing how Natural Awakenings has supported you in living a healthier, more vibrant life!
