After college at Indiana University, Jennifer Seffrin longed to move away and explore new ideas and ways of life. One place she landed was Tempe, Arizona, where she took classes at the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts. It was there that she took an interest in the concepts of conscious living, alternative therapies and holistic care. When she moved back to Indiana, she wanted to find a way to shine a light on the local holistic community. “At first I was like, ‘Where do I start?’” Seffrin says. “But a quote stood out to me: ‘Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.’ by Theodore Roosevelt. I began to invite people to lunch.” In 2012 she founded Indy Holistic Hub, a holistic health and wellness network designed to cater to the mind, body and
spirit. Indy Holistic Hub offers an extensive online directory of resources for the public that includes acupuncture, coaching, hypnotherapy, massage, chiropractic, natural products and holistic medicine.
from local holistic professionals.
Now, in 2023, she launches the next part of her vision, a local magazine featuring a wide range of topics related to holistic therapies, wellness, cutting-edge science, green-living and more! The Holistic Living magazine debuts on October 1st at the 8th annual Holistic Hub Wellbeing Fest with all attendees receiving the first copies of the magazine, which will also be offered digitally.
Eight years ago Indy Holistic Hub began hosting an annual Wellbeing Fest, giving the general public a prime opportunity to interact with and learn from practitioners and professionals in the community. Seffrin explains, “With the addition of the Holistic Living Magazine, combined with what Indy Holistic Hub already offers, this creates such complimentary synergies to reach more people out there searching for health and wellness options.”
“It’s all about supporting people to take another step toward their well-being, by finding their fit where they are right now on their path,” Seffrin says. The Indy Holistic Hub website offers a community calendar that lists classes, activities and other opportunities to learn
“That’s a source for people to say, ‘Oh, I can go on a retreat,’ or, ‘I can stick my toe in this intro class,’” Seffrin says.
“If we desire to live a vibrant, enjoyable, meaningful, purposeful life, holistic health is critical,” Seffrin says. For more information on Indy Holistic Hub, visit indyholistichub.com.
