Started by nutritionist, lecturer and writer Michael Sellar 7 years ago, this complementary health website is thought to be unique on the internet - dedicated to a very small geographical area called Stoke Newington.
This highly cosmopolitan district centred on Stoke Newington Church Street supports a wide variety of health practitioners from acupuncture and alexander technique, through to traditional chinese medicine and yoga.
It boasts a genuine, independent, community health food shop and a charity shop that buys from co-operatives, workers' co-operatives and ethical groups to provide GM free wholefoods at low prices.
Its independent women's only fitness club was voted 'The best womens only health and fitness club in London' by ES magazine and one of the top 50 health and fitness clubs in London by Time Out magazine.
Its leading complementary health centre is most unusual in that it is also a hairdressing salon.
"I have been very pleased with the support of the local alternative medicine, fitness and health community to the idea of a geography based website. After 7 years it was time to give the site a makeover. It now has a new look and I've had very positive feedback from many of the 47 holistic health practitioners listed."
As well as a showcase for practitioners and health related businesses, it will also contain articles on diet and nutrition as well as articles on many of the different types of therapy available in the area.
It is updated daily with the latest nutrition and alternative medicine news and research.
"Our best ever month attracted over 8,000 visitors which I think is terrific for a community site."
"I look forward to the next 7 years and hope to make http://www.n16health.com one of the best complementary health websites out there."
