Holistic Health Counseling
Offered by Mikela Licona

What is a Holistic Health Consultation?

The goal of visiting a holistic health practitioner involves emphasis on learning and maintaining preventative care for yourself. The first meeting with a trained practitioner involves in depth questions to learn about your past and present health conditions. Lifestyle, diet, exercise and other related issues are discussed. A consultation is confidential and any recommendations are not intended to diagnose or prescribe. Follow-up appointments are encouraged to enhance your progress and the length of time between visits are assessed on an individual basis.

The regimen you take home may consist of herbs in the form of tinctures, dried teas, or capsules. Eating habits are important and will be addressed with whole foods as the focus for your healing regimen. Other supplements may be recommended and described. Your session may also include guided visualizations for relaxation that you can implement in your daily routine. The remedies introduced are intended to enhance your everyday health, address root causes beneath symptoms, and help you achieve sustained wellness in body, mind, heart, and soul.

How can Herbs and Natural Remedies help me?

Herbs and natural remedies can be safe and effective therapies used for prevention of disease. They can help maximize one's health potential, provide symptomatic relief for minor ailments, as well as aid in stress related conditions, digestive conditions, and other health complaints. Most importantly natural remedies address the root cause of a health problem, rather than solely focusing on symptoms.

With the willingness and compliance of the client, health imbalances can be restored over time. Transformation can be guided and motivated by a practitioner, but adhering to a regimen for optimal healing is in the hands of the client. Each individual is different, therefore each regimen will vary. The longer a condition has existed, the longer it may take to heal.
