Meet Our Wellness Educators

The Concord Cooperative Market is proud to introduce you to our Wellness Educators. Several of the Concord-area’s top holistic practitioners have joined this group to educate YOU, our members and the Concord community. In New Hampshire we are blessed with some of the most diverse and qualified holistic practitioners in the country. While the Co-op believes that good health starts with good food, better health branches beyond that. We are fortunate to have these skilled educators who volunteer their time to educate us in holistic self-care. These practitioners specialize in naturopathy, homeopathy, bodywork, yoga, nutrition, chiropractics, acupuncture, herbalism and holistic veterinary medicine. The Wellness Educators work to provide you with a variety of free classes and newsletter articles.
