As a Canadian I have been proud of our health care system and a good quality of life. However, the picture of these ideals has been shifting to an unrecognizable situation the past 5 years. Individuals are searching for more alternative and holistic practices. The family Doctor does not have all the answers nor do they have the bandwidth to handle their ever growing patient lists.
More individuals are taking control of their own health journey as they seek out alternative practitioners that will not only complement their lifestyle but aid in increasing mental and physical health challenges. Creating a team of alternative practitioners can vary and it is extremely personal .
How do you define alternative? It’s not just adding supplements to your diet.
What does that narrative look like? Reading wonderful self-help books, perusing the plethora of information on social media. Listening to your friends and family. I strongly recommend do your own research and to follow what really resonates with you! As a holistic practitioner I can provide some guidance an intuitive approach, however, I don’t have all the answers as I do not diagnose. Remember as you are creating a team of professional holistic practitioners one rule of thumb is that they must have your best interest! You can shop around and try them. Take your time and be methodical with your approach. Do not be afraid to ask the hard questions. Yours and your family's health is at stake.
Think out of the box, as there are therapies that you never thought possible that can be very beneficial such as Reiki, Sound Healing, Yoga, breath work, guided meditation or nutrition counselling. Being open to alternative therapies and create a health budget to ensure affordability and keeping you on track. Please note many employers include with their cash accounts and benefit plans alternative health practitioners such as a Reflexologist, Registered Massage Therapist, Chiropractor , Acupuncturist, Psychologist, or Osteopath.
The personal approach to health can be empowering to allow to take control of our own wellbeing and unique needs.
I applaud your efforts and enjoy being part of your journey.
