AHNA Statement of Purpose

The American Holistic Nurses Association (AHNA) is a non-profit membership association for nurses and other holistic healthcare professionals, serving more than 5,700 members and more than 125 local network chapters across the U.S. AHNA promotes the education of nurses, other healthcare professionals, and the public in all aspects of holistic caring and healing. The efforts of AHNA resulted in the recognition of holistic nursing as an “official nursing specialty” by the American Nurses Association. AHNA advances the profession of holistic nursing by providing continuing education in holistic nursing, helping to improve the health care workplace through the incorporation of the concepts of holistic nursing, educating professionals and the public about holistic nursing and integrative health care, and promoting research and scholarship in the field of holistic nursing. AHNA has taken positions on the practice of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), holistic nursing ethics, research and scholarship within the field of holistic nursing. In addition, AHNA monitors and responds to government policy initiatives around the U.S. Most recently, AHNA issued a response to the FDA on its draft document: Guidance for Industry on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Products and Their Regulation by the Food and Drug Administration. As a resource to its members, AHNA provides a supportive community, informative publications, continuing education, local networking opportunities, liability insurance, and a focus on self-care and wellness, among others. AHNA is the only full-service professional organization representing the nation’s holistic nurses, and is at the forefront of policy relating to holistic nursing and integrative health care. AHNA recognizes the bond linking patient satisfaction and holistic nursing, as well as the connection between holism and career fulfillment. AHNA and its networks are working to legitimize holistic health care and to help resolve the nursing shortage. AHNA is affiliated with the American Holistic Nurses Certification Corporation (AHNCC).

Lunar New Year is Tues, have you shed what no longer serves your greater good in 2025's year of the wood snake? You're about to start 2026 with the fire horse's fierce gallop ..... something to reflect on this weekend

🔥🐎 Welcome to 2026:

The Year of the Fire Horse 🐎🔥

In simple terms, the Fire Horse year is all about movement, courage, and big change. This is a powerful, fast-moving energy that invites us to break free from what no longer fits and boldly step into our truth.

🔥 Fire brings passion, creativity, and transformation. It lights a spark under our dreams and asks us to take inspired action.
🐎 Horse energy is independent, strong, and adventurous. It encourages freedom, forward momentum, and trusting your inner power.

✨ What this means for us:

*A year to take bold leaps (even if it feels scary)
Releasing old patterns and outdated beliefs
*Speaking your truth and standing confidently in who you are
*Moving forward with purpose instead of playing it safe
*This is not a year to stay stuck — it’s a year to ride the wave of change, listen to your intuition, and let your inner fire lead the way. 🔥💫

What are you ready to release and where are you being called to move forward? 🐎✨

The American Holistic Nurses Association joins the national nursing community in mourning the death of our colleague, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, RN.

In moments like these, many of us are holding grief, shock, fear, and fatigue—sometimes all at once. As holistic nurses, we are reminded to return to our core AHNA values: Compassion, Authenticity, Integrity, Wellness, and Inclusivity.

Wellness during difficult times includes intentional self-care:

✨ Checking in with our emotions and energy
✨ Honoring our capacity and limits
✨ Practicing gratitude and prayer or reflection
✨ Offering quiet acts of care to those in need

We invite you to pause with us, to hold those who are grieving gently in your heart, and to direct intentions of peace, love, and healing where you feel called.

Connection matters.

Please check in with one another, listen deeply, and remember that your presence—calm, caring, and authentic—is a powerful form of healing.
