Holistic Health

What is Holistic Health?

For me, it's all about balance!!!!

Looking at your health in a way that recognises and acknowledges you in your entirety, encompassing mind, body and spirit, instead of just focusing on one part of your health at a time. Then.. and here's the sexy part, where I help you to take it a step further.. finding that sweet spot, where you achieve more of a balance across all of the various dimensions of health and wellness, in a way that doesn't jeopardise the other aspects!

The formal definition of holistic in the Cambridge dictionary is 'dealing with or treating the whole of something or someone and not just a part'.

5 key components of holistic health are:

Physical
Emotional
Social
Mental
Spiritual

Here at Holistically Healthy You, I build on this and help you to achieve a greater sense of balance across 11 dimensions of wellness too! Brilliant! Now you know.. holistic health and wellness is officially the new sexy!
