Our Editorial Approach
My Little Buddha is a discovery and editorial platform for health, wellness, travel, and the many ways people explore feeling and living better.
We cover both established and emerging areas of wellness. Our goal is to make options easier to understand, compare, and evaluate thoughtfully.
Our approach is built around clarity, transparency, careful sourcing, and an appropriate level of skepticism toward health and wellness claims.
How we choose what to feature
We prioritize experiences, services, products, resources, people, and ideas that appear useful, distinctive, relevant, or worth understanding.
Selection may consider quality of information, reputation, transparency, pricing, provider background, independent perspectives, usefulness to readers, and commercial relevance.
Being featured does not necessarily mean My Little Buddha endorses every claim or aspect of an offering.
How we verify information
Whenever possible, factual information such as pricing, dates, locations, program details, and booking information is checked against primary sources.
For health-related topics, stronger claims require stronger evidence.
Information changes, so readers should confirm important details directly with providers before making decisions.
Health and wellness claims
Wellness includes established science, emerging research, traditional practices, personal experience, and marketing.
We aim to distinguish between them rather than treating every wellness claim as equally established.
My Little Buddha provides information and discovery tools, not individualized medical advice.
Psychedelics and plant medicine
Some topics covered by My Little Buddha involve psychedelics, plant medicines, altered states, and traditional ceremonial practices.
These experiences can involve physical, psychological, legal, and cultural considerations.
Readers should independently evaluate screening procedures, facilitator backgrounds, medication interactions, emergency protocols, local laws, and other relevant risks.
Coverage of a retreat or practice should not be interpreted as a medical recommendation or guarantee of safety or outcome.
Affiliate and commercial relationships
Some links on My Little Buddha may be affiliate or referral links. If a reader books or purchases through one of these links, My Little Buddha may receive a commission at no additional cost to the reader.
Commercial relationships should be disclosed and should not replace useful editorial context.
Corrections and updates
Health, wellness, travel, and retreat information changes frequently.
When we discover a material error or outdated detail, our goal is to correct it.
Readers and providers can contact us if they believe information is materially inaccurate or out of date.
Wellness is personal.
My Little Buddha exists to make a complicated landscape easier to navigate — with curiosity, useful comparison, and enough skepticism to separate exploration from hype.
