As a holistic health practitioner, I occasionally hear from clients something along the lines of I’ve tried (acupuncture, massage, reflexology, whatever) before – it didn’t do anything.
Granted, not everyone connects with every type of therapy, and there is really no good way to determine this but through experience. However, as a general rule, this crazy holistic stuff we holistic health practitioners do really does work. The point is, you need to know what to do, for how long and for what purpose, and that is where people can run into problems. That is where a holistic health practitioner (such as myself) comes in – we can help you match your health concerns and goals to the best therapies and give you a plan of attack.
Think of it this way if you have a severe health symptom, you go to the doctor, right And often, they will prescribe some specific medication for you. Now, imagine instead that you skipped the visit to the doctor and went straight to the pharmacist instead. You picked some medication (based on someone else’s experience, or the sound of the medication’s name), took it for a week, and then decided this doesn’t do anything. Does that make sense
Now, I am not comparing myself to a doctor, by any means, but just as you want a primary physician to oversee your overall health plan, so too can a holistic health practitioner oversee your overall supplementary (to work alongside your regular physician) health plan.
So if you’re feeling confused and overwhelmed with what exactly you need to do to benefit your health, I recommend getting an assessment done with a licensed holistic health practitioner. This process involves a practitioner sitting down with you and discussing your health goals thoroughly, so together, you can make a plan that is going to get you the most benefit. If that sounds like what you have been looking for – call a holistic health practitioner and book your appointment today!
