After 15 years co-publishing the Natural Awakenings magazine serving Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess counties, Dana Boulanger and Marilee Burrell say they’re ready to pass the reins of the healthy-lifestyle magazine to new hands. “We’re seeking somebody, or a team like us, that’s passionate about health, wellness and being a conduit of positive possibilities in people’s lives,” Boulanger says.

Natural Awakenings is part of a Florida-based family of some 50 magazines nationwide. Along with acquiring an up-and-running publication with an established local readership and advertising base, the new owner/publisher will also have corporate support during and after the transition. 

“The right person or team will feel comfortable making connections with community leaders and organizations,” Boulanger says. “They’ll be passionate as well as business minded, self-motivated, organized and sales oriented. We’re a free magazine supported by our advertising partners, and we’ve been blessed to create many longtime partnerships. We’re seeking a highly motivated person or team who will carry the baton of  community wellness forward for years to come.”

  A major benefit to publishing Natural Awakenings is job flexibility, Boulanger adds. Because publishers can work from home and make their own schedules, they can enjoy the work-life balance that the magazine promotes.   

“As a connector, I’ve enjoyed meeting local business owners who share my passion for wellness, many of whom have become friends,” she says. “Now I’m ready to help transition in the new owner or owners to carry on this beloved magazine and move it forward for future generations.”
