KAWP — the Kentucky Association of Wellness Professionals — is a community-driven organization dedicated to advancing the professional success, personal satisfaction, and public access to quality wellness services across Kentucky. Founded in 2011, KAWP was created to fill a gap in the wellness field for independent practitioners who sought connection, shared standards, marketing support, and collaborative opportunities beyond discipline-specific groups. KAWP brings together a diverse range of wellness professionals — from personal trainers and massage therapists to holistic health coaches and other independent care providers — with the goal of fostering professional growth, community engagement, and greater visibility for wellness services.

In addition to serving wellness professionals, KAWP offers private in-home care services, designed to support individuals and families with compassionate, customizable care tailored to each client’s needs.

Whether it’s through networking, education, public programs, or shared resources, KAWP’s mission is to empower wellness practitioners and enrich the health and wellbeing of the communities they serve.
