Holistic Healing

Holistic healing means taking a holistic approach when seeking treatment for imbalances and choosing to live a more balanced lifestyle. What primarily distinguishes holistic healing apart from alternative medicine, complementary medicine, and integrative medicine is that physical health is not necessarily the main focus. Even so, it is often the experience of physical discomfort that will first prompt a person's pursuit of holistic healing.

It is true that our pains and other physical discomforts demand our attention. It is difficult to ignore the obvious when we are physically hurting. Common sense tells us that we should seek help to alleviate our discomforts.

Holistic healing is not an "alternative" to conventional medical care. Sometimes going to a medical professional is the best solution to addressing a disease. Holistic healing can assist your body's healing process during other treatments however. Many of my clients over the years have found dealing with the core issues and examining new ways of perceiving disease has elevated their healing process.

Physical illnesses are the symptoms of a greater imbalance that may or may not have a root cause in the physical. I help my client examine what the core issue is and discover ways of dealing with the physical imbalances to heal from the inside out.

Holistic or "wholistic" healing addresses all parts of the individual, not just the physical aspect of a person where manifested illnesses are most apparent. Holistic healing is not intended to serve as a band-aid or as a one time fix. It is an ongoing journey of discovery in search of more answers and ultimately, living better, being healthier, and striving for wholeness.

One of my favorite parts of my work is my retreat treatment work that I do with clients. I take individuals away with me for extended periods of time and together we "head on deal" with the core issues, the symptoms, and often the fears that have them trapped in the experiences that have driven them to me. The experience is exceptionally beneficial for each client as they get to have one on one time for an extended period of time. The individual care my clients receive while awaywith me is based on the issues they are dealing with. Be it anxiety, obesity, smoking, alcoholism, or drug abuse. We work on discovery ways to work through the issues that can be easily worked into their daily lives. This is by far one of my most rewarding gifts I get to experience.
