The Holistic Approach
Holistic health practitioners have many ways of healing, but they share a common basic approach. They believe in the ancient idea that healing is most effective when you consider the whole person, rather than focusing on specific illnesses, body parts or symptoms. As Socrates said in the 4th century B.C., "the part can never be well unless the whole is well."

Holistic health is a state of balance, not simply an absence of illness. A holistic health education teaches the interconnection of mind, body, spirit and environment—just as it has for thousands of years.


Holistic Health Today
We live in a time of great imbalance. There are more pollutants and chemicals in our food and environment than ever before. We face epidemic rates of obesity and chronic disease. Most people have poor diet and exercise habits. Almost everyone in our fast-paced society struggles to manage daily stress, and many are afflicted with chronic depression and anxiety. Because of all this, consumers are concerned for their health. There has never been a greater need for the holistic health approach, and people are demanding medical alternatives and actively seeking better options for their personal wellness. This has resulted in constant research and development in the wellness industry.

Even so, very few medical doctors practice holistic health care, so professionals trained in holistic health schools are in high demand. These holistic health practitioners offer healing alternatives such as massage therapy, nutrition, chiropractic medicine, acupuncture, medication and homeopathic medicine. While no holistic health practitioner or wellness professional can be an expert in every form of health restoration, each offers a unique toolbox of skills and knowledge to help patients achieve whole body health and balance.


WHAT IS REIKI?
Pronounced ray-kee, Reiki is an ancient hands-on-healing art that was re-introduced in the mid 19th century by Dr. Mikao Usui in Japan. It stands for 'universal life force energy and is known for its positive health benefits!
Reiki is a holistic healing system working to create spiritual, mental and physical harmony by stimulating the body's innate and natural healing ability. Reiki supports the release of physical and emotional blockages while replenishing energy into each energy center or (chakra), to restore vitality and balance.
