Health, energy and strength

Like with so many other things, we start appreciating good health when we start having health issues. We notice aches and pains, longer recovery times, and we ignore it. Then we don’t move as freely anymore or we start taking medication here and there. Maybe we simply stop doing the things that we like to do because we can’t do them anymore.

Liberation

My primary and only goal of practice: improving your health, treating aches, pains and discomfort, elevating your emotional well-being and assisting in maintaining good health.

I follow a holistic approach. Holistic means remembering that you are ONE. Our body and mind is a complex system of interconnections and relationships. Ever so often we need to re-connect the different parts of our body, reconnect the mind and spirit. In my treatments physical pains and aches are as important as feelings and thoughts. Body, mind and spirit is what makes us who we are and health is one ex[pression of it.

“How to treat? Specific health issues affect our overall health, physically and emotionally, and our overall health affects our specific health issues.”

We need to treat root and branch, symptoms and cause, because they are on the same spectrum. At my clinic we treat the symptoms to treat the cause and treat the cause to treat the symptoms.

The goal is for you to feel better and ultimately to feel great, so that you can do great things. My treatments are directed to strengthen you body and confidence, to bring appreciation for your body, so that you can live the way you want to and that you can move the way you want to.
