What is Holistic Health?

 

Holistic Health encourages individuals to recognize the value and substance of the whole person.

​

The multidimensional aspects of wellness include the connection between mind, body, and spirit and the physical, mental, emotional, social, and intellectual components of the whole.

​

Balance throughout life is a never-ending challenge, yet regulating the healing focus will bring forth Holistic Health for an ultimately happy life.


Enjoy a fulfilling life while discovering new inspiration for yourself and your family.

​

I've organized Holistic Health into the following seven categories:

​

1. Lifestyle

2. Nutrition

3. Physical Activity

4. Mindfulness

5. Radiance

6. Caregiving (including self-care)

7. Travel

Lifestyle

Finding a balanced lifestyle is the key to living a healthy life. 

​

Knowing about your sleep, energy levels, sweating tendencies, emotions, moods, appetite, libido, and more provides me with a unique Chinese Medicine pattern diagnosis.

Physical Activity

 

I will include information, tips, stories, educational material, and guidance for various physical activities in this category.

 

My specialties and personal passions revolve around yoga.

 

Still, cardio, strength training, stretches, walking, daily challenges, and child's play (exercising while playing with the offspring) all will be discussed.

​

I provide you ideas and resources to create a movement routine that works for you. Find enjoyment and play in exercise. 

Mindfulness

Mindfulness

​

Not just for the Buddhist monks or those rare few who can clear their minds. 

​

To be mindful is more about awareness than trying to stop your brain from thinking. The mind is meant to throw around signals and stay occupied. However, this can often get the best of us.

 

Through practice and redirecting your focus, you can learn to observe your thoughts with curiosity, compassion, and non-judgment. Over time, your mind can become naturally calm.

​

I'll include the following topics:

  • Mindful daily tasks (cooking, eating, walking, driving, coloring, listening to music, etc.)

  • Meditation

  • Breathwork

  • Nature basking

  • Journaling

  • And more

Radiance

 

Holistic Health and deep internal nourishment allow your inner radiance to shine through. Working from both the inside-out and the outside-in produces that healthy glow.

 

Ever wonder why most exercise programs exclude the face? The muscles of the face respond beautifully to gentle exercises, also known as face yoga. 

 

A simple and rewarding daily and weekly radiance ritual can reduce tension while rejuvenating the entire body. 

​

Caring for yourself, also called self-care, is essential for recovery, relaxation, stress reduction, and health. 

​

Caring for others can be both rewarding and overwhelming. 

​

I aim to guide you toward practicing regular self-care and feeling confident in providing techniques safely to others.
