Holism is a form of healing that takes the entire person into account. Holistic therapy does not just focus on the disease, ailment, injury or overall problem, rather; it focuses on the person as a whole – body, mind and spirit.
Healing traditions date back as far as 5,000 years centering on the concept of living in harmony with nature. Socrates once said, “For the part can never be well, unless the whole is well.” As a whole being, we are all greater than the sum of our parts. If one of our parts is ill, or out of balance, we as a whole are ill or out of balance. It is the goal of holism to help us achieve and maintain this balance through a variety of modalities.
