Holistic Coaching / Therapy
You don’t have to be injured or weak to want to improve your physical fitness. You don’t have to have to be ‘mentally ill’ to want to improve your emotional and mental fitness!!
Many physical ailments are merely symptoms of a larger and more fundamental aggravation. By looking at the whole health picture, we have the opportunity to see the interconnection of all facets of our life and the various mental and physical coping strategies we adopt. This broader analysis can help us see the true origins of the issues, thus allowing us to make the most effective interventions and life choices long term.
“The process of therapy is essentially the same whether targeting a physical or mental/emotional pain. In physical therapy we target the dysfunctional or painful areas to improve the condition and function of the physical structures of our body. In mental/emotional therapy we target the mental and emotional pain points to improve the condition and function of our mental and emotional structures.
In this self optimisation process, it makes sense to target the areas where the biggest problems lie. Sometimes this is mainly physical, sometimes this is mainly mental/emotional. The process in either case is simple. Identify the issue. Understand the cause. Do the healing work. Change the pattern (which created the issue in the first place!)
The aim is to facilitate your process through helping you raise self awareness and take responsibility for your mind, body, emotions and physiology. Understanding your strengths, weaknesses, values, patterns of behaviour, triggers and core wounds, so that you can optimise yourself, make better decisions, and live a more enriching life.
