What is Holistic Healing and How Do I Do It?

by Sarah Dawkins

As a holistic health coach, I strongly believe that we all have the answers to our health problems inside us. While medical professionals can provide guidance and medical treatment options, the key to achieving optimal health and wellness lies in understanding our own bodies, minds, and unique needs.

When we talk about holistic health, we consider the whole person – mind, body, and spirit – rather than just focusing on a specific symptom or condition. This approach recognizes that all aspects of our lives are interconnected and that in order to achieve optimal health and wellbeing, we need to address all areas of our lives.

So, how do we tap into the answers we have within us?

Listen to your body:

Our bodies are constantly sending us signals about what they need. This could be in the form of physical sensations, like pain or discomfort, or it could be more subtle, like a feeling of exhaustion or sluggishness. The first step in unlocking the answers to our health problems is to start listening to these signals and paying attention to what our bodies are telling us.

Identify your triggers:

We all have different triggers that can impact our health and wellbeing. This could be anything from certain foods or environmental factors to stress or lack of sleep. By identifying these triggers, we can start to make changes in our lives that can improve our overall health.

Get in touch with your emotions:

Our emotional health is just as important as our physical health. In fact, the two are often closely interconnected. By getting in touch with our emotions and understanding how they impact our physical health, we can start to make changes in our lives that can lead to improved overall wellbeing.

Practice self-care:

Taking care of ourselves is essential to achieving optimal health and wellbeing. This means making time for rest, relaxation, and activities that bring us joy and fulfillment. By prioritizing self-care, we can reduce stress, improve our mood, and boost our overall health and wellbeing.

Seek guidance when needed:

While we all have the answers to our health problems within us, there may be times when we need guidance and support from professionals. I have healed a multitude of health problems, so understand what healing requires. As a Holistic Health Coach, I work with clients as partnerships, with a focus on collaboration and communication to help them find their own answers to their own unique health challenges.

So, by tapping into our own internal wisdom and taking a holistic approach to our health and wellbeing, we can unlock the answers to our health problems and achieve optimal health and wellness. It may take time and effort, but the results are well worth it.
