Shortly after launching her private practice, Crystal realized that being a solo practitioner can get lonely. In an effort to find like-minded individuals, she decided to Google “Holistic Health” and email 15 nearby businesses with Holistic in their name; Holistic Bodywork by Ibrahim happened to be one of them. Ibrahim agreed to a coffee date, and while chatting the pair quickly realized that they had similar values, visions, and professional goals. They had each met wonderful practitioners in the wellness industry, but entirely through one-on-one networking. At the time, there wasn’t a space or opportunity for these practitioners to come together as a unit and collaborate in order to best meet the needs of the clients they served. Crystal and Ibrahim decided that together, they would fill that void. Thus, the Holistic Healers Community was born in August of 2023.
