A House of Indigo Publishing Project
The Integrated
Bodies
Expert Voices on Healing Body, Mind & Energy
Integrative health is no longer emerging — it's arrived. And the practitioners genuinely moving the needle deserve more than a social media post.
House of Indigo is curating a professionally produced, strategically launched collaborative book for a specific kind of expert. One with real depth, a defined voice and an audience that trusts them.

About the Book
Readers are overwhelmed, underserved and increasingly skeptical of surface-level health content. They're looking for practitioners who go deeper — who can explain not just what to do but why it works, how it connects and what it means for the whole person.
The Integrated Bodies answers that. Each chapter is written by a vetted expert in their modality — practical, story-driven and grounded in real experience. Together they form a comprehensive field guide to healing across the physical, emotional and energetic body.
Produced and curated by USA Today bestselling author and House of Indigo founder Jess Verrill, this is a project built to launch well, land in the right hands and matter beyond the moment it's published.
Who We're Looking For
This project is curated,
not open enrollment.
We're seeking practitioners, healers and wellness experts who are actively working in their field, have a defined point of view and are ready to share their expertise with an audience hungry for exactly what they do.
You might be a naturopathic doctor, acupuncturist, somatic therapist, functional medicine practitioner, energy healer, movement therapist, herbalist, breathwork facilitator or any number of other integrative modalities. What matters more than your title is your depth, your voice and your reach.
Strong fit if you
- Have an engaged audience — email list, podcast, social following or established community — who trusts your recommendations
- Are comfortable sharing this project with your network throughout the process
- Have a clear area of expertise and something specific to say about it
- Are professional, deadline-driven and easy to collaborate with
- Take your work seriously and want a platform that does the same
Not the right fit if you
- Are looking for passive visibility without active participation
- Are early in your practice without an established audience
- Can't commit to the timeline and communication requirements
What's In It For You
This isn't exposure
for exposure's sake.
Being a published author still matters. In a world of content saturation, a professionally produced book is one of the few credibility markers that cuts through — and this one is built to reach beyond your existing audience.
- Your expertise in print, professionally edited and positioned alongside some of the most respected voices in integrative health
- Access to a curated network of practitioners across complementary modalities — the kind of cross-referral and collaboration that don't happen by accident
- Visibility to an audience actively seeking what you do — not a general wellness crowd but people already invested in whole-person healing
- A chapter you own and can repurpose — in your marketing, on your website, in your client onboarding and beyond
- Association with a publishing house that has a proven track record of professional production and successful launches
For the right contributor this isn't just a book. It's a positioning asset.

About the Curator
The person behind
this project matters.
Jess Verrill is a USA Today bestselling author, founder of House of Indigo and the curator behind some of the most well-produced collaborative books in the personal development and wellness space.
With a BS in Health Sciences and a career spanning clinical practice, integrative wellness environments and senior roles in operations and marketing across multiple industries, Jess has always operated at the intersection of body, mind and energy — long before it was a mainstream conversation. Her background includes hands-on work across multiple healing modalities and the leadership experience to build, manage and execute at a high level.
As an author and publisher she has produced both solo and collaborative titles with contributors across the US and beyond — books that launch professionally, reach the right audiences and hold up long after the launch window closes.
This project is a natural and intentional evolution of that body of work — into a space she has been moving toward her entire career.
You're not just contributing to a book. You're joining a project led by someone who takes this as seriously as you take your work.
