How do holistic therapies work?

Holistic therapy looks at a person as an integrated whole, i.e. body, mind, soul and spirt.

Each of these levels affects all of the others. For example an injury to the body (physical) may also cause stress (mental level), hopelessness (soul level) and pain caused by disturbance in the flow of Qi (spirit).  Each aspect of ill health needs to be treated appropriately.

  • Firstly some gentle acupuncture to reduce stress and release pain.
  • Combined with some counselling to enable the patient to express their feelings
  • Some nutritional advice for increasing healing rates.

Symptoms that are untreatable by conventional medicine are often caused by disturbance of the Qi.  For example, those who get sparks when they touch their car door handle are carrying an excess charge of Qi that needs to be released. 

Some patients complain about feeling anxious for no reason.  This can  be in imbalance at the spiritual level or it could be toxicity caused by yeasts in the gut. Using Kinesiology Christine can test to determine the root causes of the problem.

Often patients have taken on negative energy from colleagues or family members who are sick or depressed.  In this instance, again, acupuncture would be very useful but Christine might also use some form of healing.
