I have seen firsthand the amazing work this organization does for vets in our community and the amazing professionals behind the scenes to make complete their mission. Marsha was my point of contact and you could not ask for a better person to run their organization.
The folks at Helios are very caring and their care is right on point. I highly recommend their services.
While the VA tries to hide their ineptitude and lack of actual care for veterans, organizations like Helios Warriors step in to truly help veterans, by providing treatments that heal instead of masking symptoms (like meds do). The providers that volunteer their time and effort to help those of us who've been injured, are the best! We are truly thankful that Helios Warriors chooses to help veterans. They're a tremendous blessing and an example to other non-profits of what caring & compassion mean.
Without a doubt this has been an oasis for me, I had been bless with therapeutic treatments that change my life and take away my pain without medications only with holistic treatments. Is amazing how the therapists and volunteers give their heart for helping disabled veterans among others. God bless all our wounded worriers and the angels who take care of them like Helios Worriers Inc.
Awesome! Having multiple natural body healing modalities in one place is one of the BEST ever places to be! Our bodies are so filled with energy and it gets blocked so frequently, getting it all back into balance makes you feel like a new person. Reiki has helped me calm the "antsies". EFT is one of the best modalities that has gotten rid of my chronic pain that eluded all my medical doctors for years. It worked the best and fastest with a great relief of the pain that I thought I was going to have to accept as a part of life for the rest of my life. I can't say enough about chiropractic care. I do believe I wouldn't be walking at this point in my life had it not been for chiropractic adjustments and keeping my structural body aligned. Nerve impingement pain from subluxations was readily abolished in my body with each adjustment. I have found that each modality has been able to build on the other and bring about a more agreeable functioning of pain free body parts to make the whole body more apt to retain its given functions. Which translated means, I can move and function despite the harsh treatment I have sometimes put my body through. Be it by accident or choice of risky hobbies that has interfered with my body's energies and caused pain, I am able to come to Helios, get relaxed, get balanced, get rid of pain and get on with life in a more relaxed state and better able to handle the stress of it all.
I am a social worker who assists individuals who are homeless find housing. Many of these individuals are vets and most do not have income; Helios Warriors has helped several of these individuals address some of their mental health issues that are contributing to their homelessness. The wonderful work this organization does is why I joined the Board last fall!
Even though I am the Executive Director for Helios Warriors, I am also a donor, adopting one of our veterans for $50 each month to ensure she receives at least two sessions at our office each month. I give back to our organization because I see the difference holistic therapies make in the lives of our veterans every time I am in the office. When they arrive, they often carry the weight of the world on their shoulders. When they leave, all or part of that weight has been lifted. They smile, and express a sense of peace and comfort again. It makes all our hard work worthwhile. I feel honored to serve our veterans, who have given so much in service to our country. Thank you for trusting your care to Helios Warriors.
Very nice people, always smiling when I come in. A little hard to find at first, but other than that, love the people that work there.

Helios Warriors has been a huge influential organization in my life! Helios provides services to all Veterans to help heal our minds, bodies, and souls...without the work of Helios Warriors, my combat related PTSD, that I am currently diagnosed and rated as disabled for, would be unmanageable. They keep my stress level down with the massages provided by certified massage practitioners who volunteer every week of every month. They keep my pain level way down with regular chiropractic adjustments and they provide a space that is calming and stress free! I can not say enough good things about Helios Warriors, and pray that this nation continues to support them, so that so many Veterans who's lives have been turned upside down, because of military service, can continue to provide all of the holistic therapies that have helped so many! I have already donated and do so on a regular basis, and I'm without any doubt that anything given will change a Veteran's life! You can help as well by going to www.helioswarriors.Org or to the go fund me campaign at www.gofundme.com/helioswarriors. Please consider helping the organization out.
Helios Warriors is a spectacular organization that changes the lives of veterans throughout Western North Carolina. I am not only proud, but truly honored, to be a part of something that brings a whole new approach to the treatment of the men and women who put so much on the line for our country.
Helios provides a comfortable and confidential environment for veterans needing services at an affordable rate. Would highly recommend them.
I am a recipient of services through Helios Warriors and am so grateful to receive integrative health treatments. I am the spouse of a veteran so was amazed that I qualified for therapies as well. Each therapist that I have received treatments from have been caring and professional. Willow and other staff are so friendly, genuinely caring and the center is really peaceful. I feel so grateful for the services I am being offered that I otherwise could not afford. Truly, a blessing.
Helios Warriors is an amazing organization helping disabled veterans with all sorts of therapies - massage, acupuncture, counseling and lots more. All free for veterans!
This is an amazing organaization in Asheville that holistically helps the amazing veterans of our country. Keep up the good work!
I have been a volunteer with Helios Warriors for 2 years, and I adore this organization. Every time I walk in I feel welcome and supported. And the work with veterans is so needed and so important. Thank you Helios for all the wonderful work that you do!
I am a Combat Veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Helios is an organization dedicated to serving the people who have served their country. They were very kind and considerate of my needs. They offer different medical care, such as; chiropractors, acupuncture, rake, massages, and more. The doctors are all volunteers and have a very affordable payment scale. I am grateful to have an organization like this in my community.
I love Helios Warriors! It provides a service to the community that I don't see being offered anywhere else which is why it is so important. I volunteered for this organization as an intern, then I became a paid employee and I truly enjoyed all of the time that I spent with this group.
Helios Warriors is an extraordinary program! I have been involved with Helios Warriors for the past two plus years and have nothing less than rave reviews. The quality and range of alternative care that is offered is really unparalleled in my experience. Everyone involved in the organization, from the board members, staff, and volunteers are participating because of their desire to serve our veterans. You can really feel the love and care that has been invested and continues to create outstanding service and wellness care in a way that is accessible to a clientele that deserves nothing less. Asheville is truly blessed to be home to Helios Warriors and it will be the model to follow.
As a hospice and palliative care RN for over 30 years, holistic care is the benchmark in which care is given to terminally ill patients. But this type of care should be given to all, not just those who are terminally ill. I found out about this amazing program from a friend of mine and immediately had to learn more about it. And since learning about this incredible program for our vets, have been sharing with my counterparts news of such a unique program available to vets. I wanted to learn more as to see just how can we incorporate some of their concepts in caring for vets in our area, especially due to the complexity in caring for this particular population. Helios Warriors has provided a unique and specialized care dedicated to vets that was sorely lacking within the health care system and much needed to care for this particular population I plan on making a visit to tour and learn more about this incredible program to share with others in my field. I wish I lived closer as I would definitely volunteer my services to Helios Warriors! Donna M Piszko BSN, RN CHPN
Helios warriors is an AMAZING program!!! They have helped me so much over the past year or so! I recommend them to every single veteran I come in contact with!! They are so nice and friendly and helpful, with a wide range of practitioners and cheery staff, I look forward to my next appointment
I have been a volunteer in the office at Helios Warriors for several months now, and have witnessed first hand the incredible impact this organization has had on the health (physical, metal, and emotional) of nearly every veteran who has walked through our door. The staff and practitioners here are truly dedicated to the overall well-being of the patients, volunteering their time and skills for holistic healing.
i have felt a sincere respect and care at Helios Warriors . The Wholistic practitioners were top class and there concern and respect for me as a veteran was amazing not to mention the help i receive from their treatment was top notch. Where can Veterans go and receive such fine treatment , care and consideration regardless of income , i would be hard pressed to find - Only in Asheville NC !!!
What an amazing organization. They have helped me tremendously during a very difficult time, with so many wonderful holistic healers, and being able to afford and access holistic healing and support.
I have also volunteered and helped out with fundraising events, which have been successful and have kept Helios going!
They are really in need of financial support. They have a wonderful "Sponsor a Hero" program, where you can sponsor healing for veteran in the Asheville area for as little as $10 a month. Please spread the word, about the Sponsor program. Helios needs financial support to keep doing the wonderful work it does for veterans.

This is such a beautiful and inspiring organization with such incredibly dedicated volunteers. Thank you for all that you do, such a blessing in the lives of so many!!
I found Helios many years ago and I'm so glad I did. They are wonderful people providing affordable care. I can't thank the volunteers enough for all they do. I will continue to go to Helios as long as they will have me.
This is an amazing non profit that works tirelessly for our veterans who in turn have sacrificed so much for this country. I can't say enough good things about Helios!
Well, I've been a fan and customer of Helios warriors for a couple years and have found them to be very caring and nice. I think that having a place that is there to help veterans who have served this country find alternate therapies to augment what the government provides is very special! This gives me a chance to try some alternate types of healing procedures that would not be available to me normally! They have been more than helpful in suggesting things I might find useful! So glad Helios warriors is here for me!
As a disabled person on a low, fixed income, and a veteran, I live in chronic pain. Helios Warriors' allows me to afford care that allows me to live a fuller life. I can actually do things, like short hikes, walk, a little gardening, standing to cooking a whole meal that I couldn't do before.
I look forward to each visit, knowing I will have a few good days in which my life is fuller thanks to the care provided by the volunteers.
I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve our veterans through Helios Warriors. I have been a massage therapist at Helios since January 2013 and building relationships with the clients there has broadened the scope of my practice and my awareness of veterans' needs. I donate 6 hours a month of my time and I look forward to evey minute of it!! This is a highly deserving organization and I feel they manage their funds very well. You can "Adopt a Veteran" by pledging $10-20 or more each month to supplement holistic wellness treatment for a veteran that would not be able to afford their care otherwise (Helios's sliding scale currently starts at $10 for a treatment). I strongly recommend Helios Warriors to all people living with negative effects from military service. Donate or volunteer to help Helios help our vets!
For years I wanted to somehow help our military veterans community and was so grateful to discover Helios Warriors. This organization provides needed alternative health care to veterans on a complimentary or nominal-fee basis. I have worked with them as a volunteer practitioner since 2010, and to see the transformations that have taken place with so many of our veterans has been beyond description. So many lives have been changed for the better because of this organization - pain alleviated, health and quality of life restored, and always an offering of hope for those who may have felt hopeless. Recently Helios Warriors began offering alternative care to the spouses of veterans, recognizing the importance of a veteran's family support system in their recovery. This organization is a beacon of light helping to improve our entire community through the care offered to our former military who have given so much through their sacrifice and service.
I have been volunteering at Helios as a Health Coach. Helios has a great staff. Helpful, caring, knowledgeable. The atmosphere is very positive. Helios provides such a valuable service to the veterans.
Alternative health care would otherwise be unafforable and many of them benefit greatly.
I have been with Helios Warriors in some capacity or another since 2010 when I completed my internship with them. After graduating, I joined the Board and served as secretary until this June. I am now managing the office and I love coming to work everyday!! It is such an amazing experience to see the changes our veterans go through after they receive treatments. We work with some of the best holistic practitioners around Asheville. One of my most memorable veterans came in only able to walk some days and in a wheelchair others. After coming in for 4 months, she was able to put her wheelchair away and use her cane only occasionally. It is times like this that remind me why I love this organization so much!
