Santa Monica Homeopathic Pharmacy
629 BROADWAY
Knowledge, care, integrity and service. How else can you explain how a small family pharmacy in downtown Santa Monica, which opened in 1944, is still serving customers as the oldest same family-owned pharmacy in the State of California? Santa Monica Homeopathic Pharmacy prides itself on putting integrity before income, and people before profit. They provide free consultations to customers with their medical professionals, including pharmacists, nutritionists, homeopaths, herbalists and a naturopathic doctor. Santa Monica Homeopathic Pharmacy has been serving Santa Monica for 74 years!
NAAM Yoga
1231 4TH STREET
Combining the ancient spiritual wisdom of eastern yoga and meditation with western healing traditions, NAAM balances the brain, glandular, digestive and nervous systems by harnessing the power of breath, movement and sound. This helps to establish a higher form of mental, physical and spiritual awareness, as well as personal development. NAAM is a non-profit 501(c)(3) center for spiritual and physical wellness located in the heart of Downtown Santa Monica. The spacious 7,000 sq. ft. venue offers cathartic sun-drenched studios, a boutique, private healing rooms and a gracious communal area. NAAM also offers a variety of classes, workshops and events, many of which are available free or at low cost. To help demonstrate NAAM’s commitment to the community’s wellbeing, they recently provided complimentary classes for those affected by the recent fires.
