Getting Started With Lorie
You have already started down the path of enhancing your health and wellness by researching a holistic health care professional who can help you become a healthier person on the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. Many of us need an approach to help us deal with the Post Pandemic world that emphasizes Compassionate Service rather than Fear. What we can do, how we can serve? Is there an area of disharmony or imbalance that is limiting your ability to discern your path? By addressing areas of imbalance or disharmony in the mind, body, and spirit, you can:
- better help others by helping yourself first
- enhance the function of all body systems (including Immune system)
- recover from addiction, loss, and trauma
- reduce stress, pain and fatigue
- promote happiness, fulfillment, and wellness
The Holistic Health Model
The Holistic Health model views the body, mind, and spirit as integrated parts of our being that continually influence each other. This acknowledgement of the importance of each of these parts and how they constantly affect each other requires exploration and tending to each one and how they are contributing to your health and wellness concern. Traditional Chinese Medicine is one of the oldest Holistic Health care approaches still being practiced today.
The Holistic Health Assessment
Lorie will provide an evaluation and recommend treatment using assessment tools that evaluate the whole person and your unique areas of deficiency or concern. This will help you gain personal insight into the state of your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. You and Lorie will work together as partners to develop your health care plan. By knowing how You define health, Lorie can help you develop a program to help sustain your health and wellness and optimize your potential. Looking for areas of deficiency allows you to support these specific areas and restore balance.
Health and Wellness Plan
Lorie will draw on her knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Biofeedback, Recovery from Trauma and Addiction, Self-Help Tools, and other Alternative Therapies to develop a plan for you. Treatment approaches are highly individualized for the unique needs of each individual. Each plan will work to address underlying causes of your symptoms, as well as providing relief. Many times, insights are gained that allow the body-mind-spirit to function in a way that promotes balance and harmony for your entire being.
An important part of Lorie’s approach includes teaching self-care techniques and offering educational opportunities to learn how to manage your own well-being and sustain a healthy lifestyle. Whether your interest lies in short-term (acute conditions including injury recovery, stress reactions, seasonal illness) or you have long term goals of:
- helping yourself so you can help others
- finding your unique path of service amidst Covid-19 Crisis
- improving health, wellness and longevity
- improving functioning and/or performance
- reducing stress and increasing energy
- integrating mind, body and spirit wellness
- gaining vitality to fully embrace and enjoy life
Dysfunction on many different levels (structural, emotional, mental, spiritual, nutritional, etc.) can rob you of energy needed for optimizing your mind-body-spirit's response to stress while still pursuing happiness and health. Lorie can provide an integral road map to meet your needs and accomplish your goals. By learning to listen deeply and trust fully, we can begin to more confidently seek out the care that will serve you in the most beneficial manner.
