What is a Holistic Health Practitioner? An HHP is not a doctor, but is a practitioner and educator of holistic methods of health care. Simply stated, the goal of the HHP is to help the client to achieve a state of balance in the mind-body-soul connection and, through counseling and education, teaches the client to sustain that balance.
While there are general practitioners that cross along many paths, most specialize in one or more holistic methods or areas. The main areas of specialization are body-centered therapists, energy-centered therapists, mind-centered therapists, soul and spirit-centered therapists, emotional release therapists, and coaches/counselors.
All of these therapists strive to bring a greater quality of life to their clients. Quality of life may be improved through inner balance, self-empowerment, physical ease, or even emotional confidence. Since the mind-body-soul connection is just that, connected, wherever you begin, be it in energy work, bodywork, or even the mind, you will find that all of you is affected by the work.
In your initial intake appointment, I will listen to your concerns and conditions and provide therapies and educational direction specific to your individual needs.
Examples of my body-centered offerings are bodywork, massage therapy (sports/deep tissue, pregnancy, tui-na) yoga, acupressure, myofascial release, somatics, structure/posture analysis and reflexology.
Using a combination of movement, breath, and physical pressure (from massage to trigger points) to allow the body to release tension. Releasing this tension then allows the mind to also find a relaxing state. Sometimes the relaxation state is the goal of the sessions, other times, it is the true starting point.
Examples of my energy-centered work are craniosacral, applied kinesiology (Touch For Health), qi gong, tai chi, Bach Flower Essences, Healing Touch and homeopathy.
Energy work is often done with energetic 'maps' of the body. They are used to learn where the energy is stuck, depleted, or overtaxed in the body and help the practitioner bring a level of balance to the body's energetic system. This balance also affects the mind and the overall body, enhancing the client's state of being on many levels.
I offer a Fearless Living support group and nutritional counseling. I can assist clients in designing and manifesting the life, career, business and health situations that they truly desire. Working with a client 1-4 times per month setting goals, opening belief systems and partnering with the client to provide the support they need to move forward in their lives.
