Holistic

‘Holistic’ comes from the Greek word holos, meaning ‘whole’. Rather than just addressing an immediate symptom, a holistic therapist look for the underlying cause by considering current physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual states of health and well-being. Holistic therapist work to restore the body’s natural balance, leading to a more sustained and rewarding quality of life.
Many patients have been dissatisfied with the experience or results of conventional medicine or have had limited success rates or adverse side effects of prescription medicines.
Holistic therapy is a completely natural and non-invasive treatment, suitable for all ages, which gently but effectively works to restore and maintain the body’s natural balance to encourage the body’s own self healing.
Holistic therapy offers a more natural approach to body healing, although it can be used alongside orthodox medicines.

• Massage
• Acupuncture
• Reiki – energy work
