Chattanooga Holistic Medicine
An Integrative Wellness Center
Welcome to CHM!
About CHM
Owners, Blake and Carl met through the wellness community in 2017. After a shared experience with their own personal health struggles and how they used holistic modalities to recover, they decided to combine their vision, passion, education and expertise to create a wellness center in which a client's health could be addressed at every level with a team of practitioners at their side. And thus Chattanooga Holistic Medicine was born!
At CHM we work as a community of practitioners to create a customized healthcare plan combining acupuncture, massage, exercise, chiropractic, functional medicine, and nutrition coaching to guide our care. We aim to empower each individual and unite them with a team of dedicated and knowledgeable providers.

Saree is a transformational coach that combines somatic practices, nervous system regulation tools and meditation to help clients reclaim their health, vitality and wholeness.

Weaving together, both science and spirituality, Saree creates a kind, compassionate container that allows you to show up exactly as you are and support you to feel all that arises. In this sacred space of trust, we glimpse what has always been true, that safety lives within us and that our bodies know the way toward wholeness.
