FAQ

What is the Asian American Holistic Healing Network? How did this come about?

The Asian American Liberation Network believes in expansively integrating healing modalities beyond traditional western models of mental health and well-being.


We understand that finding culturally sensitive and effective holistic health services can be challenging. That’s why our directory is designed to be user-friendly, inclusive, and easily accessible. Whether you are looking for acupuncture, herbal treatments, spiritual health support, or yoga and mindfulness practices, you can find reliable and culturally attuned services through our platform.


AALN believes that healing includes the mind, emotion, body, behavior, spirit, energy, and community; and our community deserves to be healed in ways that empower them.


We center our community’s diverse cultural healing practices, and ancestral wisdom, and we invite Asian American healers who practice different healing modalities to apply.
