How does holistic therapy work?
Holistic therapists focus on a person’s physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. They might use expressive arts, using dance, art, or music to work with people, or use mindfulness practices, including meditation and relaxation techniques, as well as physical approaches such as yoga or Tai Chi. Holistic wellness is an approach where we view our lives from a 360-degree view encompassing five key dimensions – mental & emotional, physical, social, occupational and financial wellness.
Does holistic really work?
Yes! While some holistic medicine therapies have been used for centuries, modern research is catching up. Studies are increasingly showing the effectiveness of practices like acupuncture for pain relief and meditation for stress reduction. We blend this knowledge with traditional wisdom to provide well-rounded care. Studies show holistic therapies reduce anxiety, depression, and trauma, especially with traditional care. Clients doing both stay longer, gain insight, and make sustainable progress. Merging therapies calms the nervous system, fosters emotional safety, and enables deeper healing beyond talk therapy.
