Early Roots Healthy living entrepreneur Sharon Bruckman launched the first Natural Awakenings magazine in Naples, Florida in 1994 in response to a strong local holistic health community and thousands of like-minded readers eager to connect with each other. The publication became an immediate success. A second, Sarasota, edition soon followed. Today, there are roughly 60 editions of Natural Awakenings, printing more than 1,000,000 copies, distributed at more than 30,000 locations, and read by more than 2,500,000 people nationwide.
