Hi everyone, my name is Mel Bezalel and I am a journalism postgraduate
student, studying at City University, in London. We are currently
launching magazines and my group has chosen to launch an
holistic magazine. Michael Meredith recommended that I posted on here,
so I thought I'd share some of our thoughts with you.

We want to focus on "alternative" therapies like reflexology, general
massage, accupuncture, CBT, yoga, aromatherapy and others, while
offering a critical eye on "new" approaches, and incorporating other
areas like travel and food.

It would be great to hear your opinions on this magazine,if you have a
few minutes, could you please fill in this questionnaire (below). If
it's more convenient I can send you the word doc. Please reply to
melbezalel@... <mailto:melbezalel@...>

Looking forward to hearing from you all, your contribution would be
really valuable and appreciated,

Mel Bezalel
