WHAT "CHHA" IS ABOUT
Colonization has affected our wellness by inaccessible to adequate health care. Wellness has become a classist commodity, a consumer-based mindset prioritized over the well-being of humans, animals, & environment. "Alternative" medicine is not taught, gate-kept (by the elite), ostracized by modern communities, and portrayed as quackery. Holistic wellness is seen as separate care. Despite evidence-based studies and generational knowledge.
-
Our goal is to decolonize wellness; help teach others and give access to not only wellness but resources on how to decolonize your own wellness and practices. This is why having organic, ethically sourced products and our community outreach programs is so important to us. Providing access to wellness, herbs, and education to everyone.
-
We acknowledge that we work off the stolen land of The Piscataway Conoy Nation, and get resources from stolen land. The BIPOC community, LGBTQIA+, and underprivileged community are extremely important to us and we offer discounts for these communities to allow access and inclusion to those that would otherwise not be able to. See our subpage under “discount communities” to learn more about the discounts we offer.
-
We prioritize self-care, family, and community over consumption. We strive to build our own community through CHHA and allies. Not only for our own well-being but to strengthen our community.
-
We believe that Body, Mind, Emotional & Spiritual well-being are all connected. We nurture these aspects and want to help others learn about a multitude of healing modalities.
-
We strive to educate and provide resources to empower people and communities on how to take charge of you and your family’s health at home. How to break generational biases, traumas, and mundane practices.
CHHA is committed to serving marginalized communities and appreciates the support of Allies to make this possible.

"A healers power stems not from any special ability, but from maintaining the courage and awareness to embody and express the universal healing power that every human being naturally possesses." - E. Leventhal
"Empowering and facilitating everyday people have access to wholistic wellness. Body, Mind, Emotion, Spirit. Health and wellness is a human right! My goal is to provide Herbal Education (knowledge is power), Spiritual Guidance, and Naturopathic Remedies for everyday needs/ailments.
Teaching how to start & maintain wellness in an accessible REALISTIC way is needed in an society that doesn't prioritize wellness. All of the toxins we come into contact with on a daily basis, even down to the very soap we buy from the big box stores to clean ourselves with take its toll on our health. I want products to be accessible, reasonably priced, and toxic-free. Modern medicine has done leaps and bounds (especially with my health issues in my adolescence) but I know I wasn't exposed to a number of alternative options that are less invasive and/or have little to no side effects. As medicine advances I see that we have lost touch with the basics, remedies, and knowledge that nature provides us with. Healthcare doesn't have to be a "EITHER OR" situation, Choosing between modern or "alternative" medicine; the two can work with each other.
Reindigenizing how we care for ourselves and our families. I am merely a guide/ignitor to your own capability and power. " - Natasha
