Hi Colleagues,

Do you use holistic methods to keep you well? If you do, what kinds of holistic approaches do you use, for what purpose, and which ones work for you?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

In Health,

Hello Carolyn,
Yes, I practice natural and holistic health. In fact, it was the darn medical industry that forced me to since they kept injuring me and making me unhealthy! I am currently working on my Masters in Natural health and my ND.
Let's see, I study and practice good nutrition. I also use yoga and pilates for my physical and emotional well-being and I study the Bible and read many spiritual books to help center me spiritually. I firmly believe that we must be healthy in order to feel good emotionally and visa versa and we will not have any discipline to live as such if we are not spiritually grounded.
Is there anything that you would like to know specifically that I do? Gosh, I incorporate so many things into my daily living it's hard to narrow it down to just a few things!
I'd be thrilled to share experiences with you.
Have a wonderful day,

That's great, Eliza,

Where are you in school? (I get so many emails from people who want to be holistic practitioners and don't know where to go. Maybe you could share some info and what you like and dislike about your program?)

It would be great if you shared a couple of things you do daily to enhance your health and well-being, too!


In Health and Wellness,

Hi Carolyn... I use all kinds of alternative and holistic health modalities in my daily life. I am fortunate enough to be in a large community of holistic practitioners that are willing to exchange treatment sessions on a regular basis. I am a Reiki Usui and Karuna Ki Master and Shamanic teacher and healer, and we have Reflexologists, Reconnective Healing teachers and practitioners, EFT practitioners, Color Therapists, Hypnotherapists, Angel Healing Practitioners, Spiritual Advisors, etc. We are all interconnected in what we are doing, and love to share our knowledge and healing arts with each other. I feel that the body, mind and spirit must be seen as one in order to heal and maintain a functioning level of wellness. Love and Light...
