QUICK QUESTIONS
What is "holistic"? "Holistic" emphasizes the whole (person or being) and the interdependence of its many aspects rather than simply focusing on symptoms or physical body parts of the person. Sometimes "holistic" is also used as a synonym for alternative medicine, but you should understand that unless the provider is appropriately licensed, professional holistic services do not include diagnosis, prescription, manipulation or adjustments of the human skeletal structure, or any other service, procedure or therapy which requires a license to practice orthopedics, physical therapy, podiatry, chiropractic, osteopathy, psychology, acupuncture, or any other licensed profession or branch of medicine. Is it FREE? We welcome you to search for a provider and even post your own ad at no charge whatsoever. FREE. There are also advanced search and advertising benefits available for a modest subscription cost which can significantly increase your ad exposure and positioning. How do I find a holistic provider nearest me? Click the "home / search" menu link at the top of any page. Enter your ZIP code and adjust the number of miles/kms you're willing to travel. Then click the "Search" button. Additional options... Where are the provider reviews and how can I post a review of my own? First, find the provider's ad. If the provider is a participant in our review system (it's voluntary), you may click on either the "MY REVIEWS" or "POST REVIEW" button. If neither button exists, the provider is not in our review system. Please know, you can post your review anonymously, if you wish. Your privacy is important to us. I'm a holistic provider and I want to update my existing HolisticAnywhere.com ad. How? First, click the "LOGIN" menu link on the upper-right corner of your screen. Once you are logged in, you can click on either the "EDIT AD" or "UPLOAD PHOTOS" link to change/update your information at any time. Do you allow nudity or sexually-oriented ads? We welcome all legitimate holistic ads and do not discriminate based on gender or sexual orientation. However, pornographic content and ads that solicit or promote prostitution are not permitted. "Holistically-appropriate" nudity is permitted if tastefully depicted under the Terms of Service. What are the benefits of a paid subscription over a basic free account? The quick summary is that a paid subscription can, for a very modest cost, (1) increase your ad's everyday exposure by up to 300% over a basic free ad; (2) give your ad premier positioning and rank in search results, as well as preference on our homepage; and (3) make it easier for customers to find you among the crowd. These benefits are particularly valuable if you advertise in a populated market area. For additional information, this question is also answered in detail here. Where's my ad? There are tens of thousands of holistic ads. If yours seems to be hiding, please check our answers to I can't find my ad. Where is it? and Will my ad appear on the HolisticAnywhere.com homepage?.
