A North Carolina nonprofit, in formation

Healing doesn't happen alone.

Wholeness Acres brings holistic mental health support, doula care, and natural birth education to families who need it most — with a working farm at the center of it all.

Support the Land Fund See our programs
$37,500 Our current goal to secure the land Wholeness Acres will call home.

Too many people are told to choose between the care they can afford and the care they actually need.

We don't believe in that choice. Wholeness Acres exists to close the gap — mental health support that's genuinely reachable, birth care that respects your options, and a community that doesn't let anyone carry it alone.

We're building this in the open: a registered nonprofit, a working board, and a growing set of programs — starting now, before the land is even secured.

What we do

Programs built around connection, care, and generational wisdom — some running now, others taking shape as we grow.

Rhonda Giles, Founder of Wholeness Acres

From our founder

I'm Rhonda Giles, founder of Wholeness Acres. This started with a simple belief: healing shouldn't depend on what you can afford, or whether you know the right resources exist. Between my own experience and years of work in this community, I kept seeing the same gap — families who needed support and couldn't find it, or couldn't afford it.

Wholeness Acres is my answer to that gap. It's still being built — piece by piece, program by program — but every part of it is built around one idea: nobody should have to heal alone.
