Sign up. Sign in. Elizabeth Beauvais. Hi Daisy! Tell us about Resilient Wellness. Resilient Wellness is a holistic healthcare and health education system based in Oakland, California with plans to expand to other urban centers around the United States. We offer a straightforward, yet innovative approach to health that uses community-based solutions and existing community resources.
How does the model work? We organize a network of alternative and conventional service providers in holistic health, such as yoga teachers, acupuncturists, nutritionists, and massage therapists.
This network operates as a cooperative, offering accessible, affordable holistic medicine services to low income and historically marginalized communities. Many individuals we work with have experienced high levels of trauma and chronic illness. So, in addition to giving people pathways to these services, we are also promoting community resilience and self-empowerment. How do you make this affordable for people with low income?
Holistic health professionals join the cooperative by agreeing to provide their services on a sliding scale. As a result, they own a portion of the business, and are deeply invested in our mission and success.
When a service provider completes a service, they receive time on their Timebanking account, allowing them to trade their hours with other service providers or consumers in exchange for services.
