Holistic Lifestyle Coaching“The superior doctor prevents sickness; The mediocre doctor attends to the impending sickness; The inferior doctor treats actual sickness” - Ling Shu, Ch 55 When they hear the words “Chinese medicine”, most people think of acupuncture or herbs. However, Chinese medicine is so much more - it is a complete system that encompasses both a wide range of therapeutic modalities (such as acupuncture, acupressure, herbal medicine, gua-sha, tuina, cupping etc.) as well as a wide range of lifestyle strategies for optimal health and happiness. As the quote above illustrates, Chinese medical philosophy puts much greater emphasis on prevention rather than treatment. The ancient Chinese doctors were the original health coaches! In fact, in earlier times Chinese doctors were only paid whilst their subjects stayed well, which surely would have acted as a powerful incentive to keep their patients from falling ill. What a different landscape our health system would be if we had the same approach to prevention today. Staying well and preventing disease require good lifestyle habits throughout our lives, including:
When you come for your first appointment, we will take a look at all the different aspects of your life and how they contribute to your health. As well as providing you with powerful, effective treatments at the clinic, I will make suggestions to you about changes you can make in your life that will support your healing and take it to the next level. I have many techniques and strategies that can be customised to complement your treatments, and will tailor a healing plan just for you. This aspect of your care is so important! To put it simply - I could be the best acupuncturist in the world, and provide you with the most amazing treatments, but if you are engaging in lifestyle behaviours that aren't supportive of your healing, you won't get the results that you deserve. I am incredibly passionate about empowering you with knowledge and support so that you can make sustainable changes to transform your life. I have recently graduated as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, so I now combine the best of modern Western health coaching with the ancient Chinese philosophy of health maintenance & preservation. I know it can be incredibly challenging to make changes, but I am here to support you all the way, and look forward to sharing the journey.
