About Natural Awakenings Chicago

Natural Awakenings Chicago connects readers throughout Chicago and suburban Cook, Lake, McHenry and DuPage counties to the information, local resources and inspiration they need to make healthy, sustainable choices for themselves, their families and the planet. Since 2010, we’ve been bringing people together through trusted content, local partnerships and community engagement.

We are dedicated to healthy and sustainable living for mind, body and spirit. We empower individuals to live healthier lives on a healthier planet, educate communities about the latest in natural health and sustainability, connect readers with local wellness resources and events, and inspire more balanced living.

Throughout the region, we continue to expand our reach, connecting with tens of thousands of readers each month through our printed magazine. We also publish a digital edition of each issue, send a monthly email newsletter and continue to grow this website as a regional wellness network featuring local resources, articles, events and community connections. We connect with our community through social media, and print subscriptions are also available.

Natural Awakenings Chicago is built on real relationships. Behind every issue is a team of dedicated writers, editors, proofreaders, designers and community partners committed to creating trusted, locally relevant content and meaningful connections throughout our region.
