A Holistic and Natural Approach to Health, Wellness, and Healing through Natural Health Consulting

What is Natural Health Consulting?

 

Are you looking for holistic healing near me? This is where natural health consulting comes in. Lets review this together.

​

Traditionally, a natural health consultant is a professional with extensive knowledge about natural health, herbs, vitamins, minerals, and nutrition. They may also be familiar with additional practice areas, such as acupuncture or massage therapy. The consultant may not be trained to perform these procedures but would add them to their recommendations for lifestyle changes. 

​

Natural health consultants strive to suggest preventative and therapeutic remedies that help body systems work more efficiently, without invasive procedures or medications.

​

Reasons to Choose a Natural Health Consultant Using Natural Medicine:

We believe Holistic, Natural Medicine is the most effective way to help our clients protect or improve their health – including those with chronic health issues—here’s why:

​

1. It's about the 'whole' of you. It's the ultimate in personalized, one-on-one, therapeutic relationships to help you protect or improve your health. It’s a health-focused, client-centric partnership, in which the Natural Health Consultant and client work together to uncover the causes of the symptom, illness, or disease. 

2. We look for the cause, we don't just treat symptoms. Natural Health Consulting and Coaching involves time, care, and patience. Josephine treats the person rather than the symptom(s) or disease.

3. A Natural Health Consultant uses natural remedies, holistic methods, and practical tactics. Unlike Conventional Medicine, Natural Health Consulting is a more comprehensive, holistic approach that seeks to restore the balance that produces true health using holistic methods, natural medicine, and practical tactics rather than masking symptoms.

4. We work 'with' your body to heal itself. It is not an either/or system but a true combination of many different natural, alternative, and complementary therapies. It acknowledges the strengths of Conventional Medicine for acute and crisis care but also realizes that the Traditional Medicine approach does not have the tools for protecting health or preventing or treating chronic diseases. A Natural Health Consultant can apply all healing tools—drawing from Western, Eastern, Alternative, Preventative, and Integrative medical practices—to help the client stay or become healthy.

5. A [Somatic-Embodiment] Natural Health Consultant looks for the root cause, not just symptoms. We are more concerned with the underlying imbalances or dysfunctions that are the mechanisms of the symptom, illness, or disease. We help you find and work with the underlying mechanisms and ultimately look for the causes of those imbalances. Josephine calls her somatic and embodied approach somatic shamanism.

​

That said, it is important to understand that working together with your Natural Health Consultant is not done in one or two sessions, especially if you're challenged with chronic health issues or several diagnoses. We respect your time, and the entire mind-body connection, which deserves the attention - and our time and commitment, given to understand and find the root cause of conditions to support you and your body in its ability to heal itself, and what it is asking for to do so. Your commitment is as equally as important as ours because we don't issue prescriptions to mask symptoms, we look at how the body is keeping score, what the brain has been trained into accessing on autopilot, and how the nervous system is relaying messages between the body and brain.

​

A personalized program will be created with you, and you and your Natural Health Consultant will journey on together.

FREE TIP:

​

I recommend starting with one thing that you can do every day to get yourself in the habit of moving and committing to your progress, such as 5 to 10 minutes of walking or marching in place at least once a day. Twice is better. Three times is great! 

Not only is it about training your body, but it is equally, if not more so, important in training your brain into a new pattern. I utilize an embodied approach with clientele regarding functional fitness, natural health, and wellness.

What is an Embodiment Approach to Natural Health Consulting?

​

An embodiment approach means that Josephine looks at root cause patterns in the energy (electromagnetic) systems that affect how the body systems interact and process. This is done in conjunction with the above-mentioned traditional methods of Natural Health Consulting, and utilizing energy center attunement which is a part of her contemporary-style shamanic practices. Another way of saying it is that she is merging the health and wellness tools, skills, and knowledge with the understanding and practices of somatic-style therapy, functional fitness, whole foods, and herbs as medicine, which is the system she subscribes to in somatic shamanism and journeying practices.

​

We are evolving in our understanding of health and wellness. It is recognized more than ever that diet, nutrition, and exercise must be a personalized approach versus the former static or "one size fits all" method. Taking this a step further, now that we've learned through 100,000 tests, studies, and research, every person's needs will be dictated by how the body digests certain nutrients, eating patterns, lifestyle needs, and habits, it includes how the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system translates messages in the "fight and flight" and "rest and digest" modes. What's happening somatically, neurologically - in other words, emotionally and mentally, is vital to the rest of the mind-body system.

​

Part of this evolutionary process is reintegrating the spiritual aspects and connectedness that we have with one another, the Earth, and the plant kingdom, and appreciating what medicine plants and food medicine have to offer us. It is also a way for us to honor the ancestors of many lineages and cultures that have gone before us, on which we have based our modern medicines.

​​​​

​Some benefits of (holistic or embodiment) natural health consulting care include:

 

• Treating the whole person: Natural health care focuses on the person as a whole, rather than just a symptom or disease

• Addressing the root cause: Natural health care addresses the root cause of disease.

• Less invasive treatments: Natural health care offers less invasive treatments.

• Incorporating Eastern medicine: Natural health care may incorporate Eastern medicine.​

• Works well with other modalities: Natural health consulting and care can be effectively integrated with Western Medicine and any health care services you're currently receiving. It does not have to be one or the other, ever.

​

It is understood more than ever before, that being the soulful awareness that we are, will allow the flawed premises to fall away. It's not about healing a body part, or someone else being your healer. It's about realizing that you are the space in the present moment, emanating the well-being life force energy that you are. We all forget sometimes. As a practitioner, I am here to remind you and walk with you as you rediscover how to light your path by shining your light even brighter, making modifications, and deepening your awareness to embody the life you have now, more fully. That in and of itself 'heals' the challenges, and is the means of preventive healthcare. I don't make promises, but I am willing to do what I can to be of service in this way." ~ Josephine
