Holistic Health and Education Center
Estara Health and Wellness believes in a world of love and peace, not only as a collective but in our own bodies and lives. Over the last three decades millions of Americans have become familiar with the traditional medicines and practices of places like China and India as evidenced by the number of Yoga Studios and Ayurvedic Centers now available to us. Each ancient culture carries a valuable story of their individual health practices and in this story is embedded the understanding of the correlation between health and the mind, body and spirit. In these ancient practices there is a holistic form of health that has the power to transform individuals as well as nations.
Founded On Ancient Principles and Practices
Estara Health and Wellness, founded by Sofia Chavez-Frederick of Spanish and Native American roots is founded on the ancient principles and practices of these two cultures. Estara strives to educate the public on the connection of physical and emotional disease with the health of the body, mind and spirit. Through the use of ancient healing traditions such as “Curanderismo” we teach classes and do Community Outreach Programs to reintroduce people to these practices which strengthen this mind, body, spirit connection resulting in a state of wellness that results in greater health.
Working In A Variety of Communities
As part of our Community Outreach Programs Estara works in various communities in the Metro Denver area teaching experiential classes that strengthen this connection. Each class addresses the physical, emotional and spiritual components of health. Estara Volunteers lead classes on exercise, meditation, nutrition, herbal remedies and sound healing. The classes also give the participants the opportunity to receive sessions in such practices as Reiki, Aromatherapy and Sound and Healing.
We support our work in the community by teaching classes in Reiki, Aroma Therapy, Sound and Healing, Managing Fibromyalgia, Sacred Space and Rituals to name a few. We offer these classes at our Center in Lakewood, CO. Each of these classes is designed to connect the individual to their own healing powers. When mind, body and spirit are fed daily the body has a miraculous ability to defend itself from disease.
Complimentary or Alternative Care
Complimentary and alternative care encompasses therapies with a historical or cultural basis. Alternative medicine practices are as diverse in their foundations as in their methodologies. Practices may incorporate or base themselves on traditional medicine, folk knowledge, spiritual beliefs, or newly conceived approaches to healing.

In the past decade, investigation into holistic health practices has brought about expanded consideration of the possible benefits of incorporating aspects complimentary medicine to the wellness equation. Established in 1991, the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine or NCCAM explores complementary and alternative healing practices in the context of rigorous science, training complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) researchers, and disseminating authoritative information to the public and professionals.
