Why Natural Therapies?
My Approach
Nurses are in a unique position to understand and address fundamental and comprehensive aspects of whole person health and wellness across the lifespan. Holistic therapies offered are safe, non-invasive and non-pharmacologically based that can support natural health, healing and well-being. Natural holistic therapies can also support and be coordinated with a medical management plan. As an Advanced Holistic Nurse, Sandra offers many areas of integrative health therapies including nutritional, dietary and lifestyle strategies, mind-body therapies and energy-based healing therapies. Nurse Sandra inspires both CranioSacral manual therapy and energy-based therapies as non-invasive and effective treatment modalities for improving daily lives and enhancing overall well-being . Clients often report experiencing less pain and physical symptoms, improved focus, as well as feeling a sense of calm, restoration and rebalancing after treatment. Therapies improve the body’s overall and natural ability to rest and relax supporting restoration and self-healing which then can produce profound, positive and lasting results.
Natural holistic self-care methods, skills and lifestyle coaching strategies are learned and practiced at home to enhance everyday health and well-being. Therapies and self-care methods can be integrated during one session. Therapy sessions are both unique and individualized and self-care programs are highly personalized. Daily self-care and home practice skills offer safe and effective tools in achieving better overall health, well-being and managing energy levels.
