Meet Queer Healers
We’re also a team of queer people who love queer healers.
We know how painful, infuriating, and frustrating it can be to seek care in a world that denies queer people their humanity. Especially queer people who are trans. Especially queer people who are Black. It keeps a lot of people from seeking the support they need, especially if that support isn’t covered by insurance. As people who have often been sidelined and harmed by Big Pharma and the normative medical establishment, queer people know the value of alternative medicine and esoteric practices. Medicine from the ground, from each other.
Queer people need an easy way to find healers who relate to their lived-experience. And queer practitioners need a streamlined way to support themselves that doesn’t involve becoming a digital marketing maven.
All over the world, due to the pandemic, systemic inequality, huricanes and wildfires, Queer healers’ livelihoods have been derailed, so we want to do anything we can to get them hooked up to a firehose of clients and collaborators.
