History

Established in 2011.

The Arcata Holistic Health Center evolved from a long line of holistic businesses which have occupied its location for over a decade. Its current incarnation is as a micro-​business laboratory, where holistic practioners can develop independent entrepreneurial ideas backed by concrete business resources. It embodies the collective spirit of Humboldt County, and seeks to support whole, healthy holistic businesses just as they support whole, healthy people.
