COMPLEMENTARY, ALTERNATIVE AND HOLISTIC THERAPIES

I am often asked what the words  complementary, alternative and holistic  therapies mean:

• Complementary Therapy:  This is a therapy that can be used in addition to conventional therapy.
• Alternative therapy: This often claims to be a complete system, which can be used instead of conventional western medicine.
• Holistic therapy: This is a lifestyle approach, going beyond the mind-body connection of finding and maintaining wellness. Holistic therapy includes all parts of a person’s life, physical and emotional well-being; our spiritual aspects and our beliefs and values are all considered here.

Life Coaching

Life coaching is a rapidly growing profession that is very different from consulting, mentoring or counselling. It predominantly concentrates on the now and the future The coaching process addresses specific areas the client wishes to work on, – from: personal life, business success, health, relationships, life transitions, finances etc..

A life coach guides and supports the client by giving them the tools to broaden their perspective and open their minds, enabling them to reach their goals. A life coach empowers the client to realise their own self-worth and self-belief that over time has diminished. This to a large extent is down to the client. A coach helps the client to improve, in the sense that the client will go from where they are now, to where they want to be, in effect reaching their goal.

In conjunction with the cupping I use massage to prepare and soften the tissues.

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)

EFT is described as ‘acupuncture without needles’ is a Meridian Therapy. Whilst tapping gently with the fingertips, the client stimulates various meridian energy points in the face, torso and hand; at the same time focusing on the problem they wish to heal. The technique works by releasing blockages within the energy system which are the source of emotional intensity and physical discomfort. The blockages within our energy system, in addition to challenging us emotionally, often lead to limiting beliefs and behaviours and an inability to live life harmoniously.
