We are overjoyed to announce the relaunch of Natural Awakenings in the vibrant communities of Alachua, Citrus, Marion, Sumter counties & The Villages! Beginning with this January 2025 issue, this beloved magazine returns to bring inspiration, wellness and community connection to health-conscious readers throughout North Central Florida. While we are new to publishing Natural Awakenings here, we bring with us 18 years of experience in Jacksonville/St. Augustine and Daytona/Volusia/Flagler counties editions, and four thriving Michigan editions. We are honored to step into this role and continue the legacy of this trusted resource.

The new year symbolizes a fresh start and an opportunity to reflect, reset and reimagine what is possible. In the same way, our relaunch represents more than the return of a magazine; it’s an invitation to come together and build a healthier, more conscious future. Each issue will feature empowering ideas, practical tools and uplifting stories designed to inspire personal growth and foster meaningful connections within the community.

As your new publishers, we are deeply committed to earning your trust and delivering the quality content you’ve come to expect from Natural Awakenings. We look forward to partnering with local businesses, thought leaders and wellness advocates to create a magazine that truly reflects the heart and soul of this region.

Thank you for welcoming us into your lives. Your enthusiasm and support mean everything to us as we embark on this exciting journey. Together, let’s make 2025 a year of awakening, renewal and connection.

With warm regards and best wishes for the new year,

John & Trina Voell, Publishers
