About Us

We are The People’s Holistic Clinic, a grassroots community-led team based in Kumeyaay Land, otherwise known as San Diego. We are a community of the global majority offering holistic healing services to people of all bodies. Our intention is to center those often marginalized and have limited access to holistic care. Our commitment is to never turn anyone away who is seeking care and healing.

Services are offered by community members; including but are not limited to Acupuncture, Chiropractic Care, Traditional Bodywork, Yoga, Knowledge Shares, Guided Meditation, Reiki Energy Healing, Healing Experiences, IRECA and so much more. We are dedicated to serving those in our community who are systematically disenfranchised by colonization and capitalism.

We have established a fundraiser through GoFundMe to acquire a license of operation from the state of California. We believe, these ancestral wisdom and services should not be gatekept, therefore we are taking active efforts to maintain these services as accessible as possible. By attaining this license, the Clinic will be able to apply and receive grants from multiple organizations and entities.

Our vision is to soon acquire land and/or a building to create a community hub for The People’s Holistic Clinic, that is a secure space for us to continue our invaluable work where we will not be disrupted by gentrification, capitalism and exploitative overdevelopment.

We are asking for community support in multiple ways, such as donating to our GoFundMe, supporting our Patreon, sharing our work on social media, or volunteering on our team.

Thank you for your support!
