Anna's Place NOLA

We promote healing and wholeness of body, mind and spirit through academic, cultural, and arts enrichment; holistic health care; and healthy lifestyle education. Our vision is that we are a place of peace where children realize their potential and families/community are nurtured so that poverty and violence no long make their home among us.
