Take Your Natural and Holistic​ Health Passion to The Next Level
Natural & holistic health is the practice of using natural, non-invasive techniques to promote total wellness. There are several modalities used in natural, metaphysical and holistic health including nutrition, mind-body, life coaching, herbology, iridology, aromatherapy, homeopathy, mind-body connection, vibrational healing , energy healing, and more.
​
Natural health does not seek to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, disorder, or syndrome. These actions are reserved for medical professionals. Natural health practitioners are healers treating the whole person WITHOUT the use of medicine. Natural health should only be practiced in non-emergency situations and always within its scope of practice.
​
At Holistic Professionals of Color University, we sincerely believe in, what we call, God's medicine. Natural, alternative, and complementary healing has been around for thousands of years with its earliest origins being traced to Kemet. Whether you are new to the principles of holistic health, or a professional looking for continuing education opportunities, Holistic Professionals of Color University will provide the knowledge you seek.

Holistic Professionals of Color is officially recognized as a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization (religious/educational/charitable/scientific). All annual reports and other reporting forms are up-to-date and in good standing.
About HPOC University
HPOC University began with a small, enthusiastic group that wanted a place for academics to meet and have conversations about holistic healing education applicable to people of color.
​
Karen "Raye" Haymore is a tireless advocate for health equity and natural medicine as prescribed by our ancestors. Recognizing the inadequacy of information relative to people of color both inside and outside of the traditional medical field, she founded HPOC (Holistic Professionals of Color) a gathering place inclusive of all voices.
​
HPOC was founded for those interested in serving clients in an equitable manner. Our programs have evolved into a powerful platform that enables students to improve their own health and enhance the health and wellness of others.
​
Today, our forum is full of diverse topics and engaging conversations covering all aspects and levels of education. Get involved today to learn, share, connect and collaborate with our community.
We offer a wide variety of accredited programs to fit your needs. The studies range from Certificate, Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctorate education. You should be a proud graduate of Holistic Professionals of Color University.
The HPOC Difference
The holistic health industry is growing by leaps and bounds but few, if any, emphasize the physiological and biological differences of people of color. Our programs focus on inclusive research, arts, science, and ancient practices.
