An introduction to Holistic Health 

A Century ago no one could have imagined the dramatic advances in modern medicine through the decades.  Modern medicine has found a cure for many of the most devastating diseases, it has wiped out the bubonic plague and small pox.  

So, why if orthodox medicine is the key to our health are we turning our backs on it in droves. One answer is that, with each life saving drug, we learn that the side affects can sometimes be more debilitating to our lives than the symptoms they are actually designed to alleviate, another, is that we no longer feel in control of our own fate.

We are fortunate today in that we have a choice in how natural we want to live our lives and treat our ailments - regaining some measure of control over our health by taking a different path or taking back some power by opting for a element of self-help.  This is not to say that orthodox medicine is to be poo pooed, most drugs have their place in the world and have made dramatic changes in the way we live and continue to survive.  

We therapists often refer to our treatments as "Alternative Therapies", Lisa MacKenzie prefers to change the terminology slightly to "Complementary or Holistic Therapies", terms that incorporate the idea that these more natural treatments can work along side orthodox medicines.  

Increasingly, people are also trying gentle self-help therapies like Massage, Daoyin Tao^® and Aromatherapy to prevent Stress and tension before it has even taken hold - Prevention is better than cure.  When we require relief from long-term pain or illness and orthodox medicine fails, therapies such as Indian Head Massage, Reflexology and Reiki can be the key to deeper relaxation and balance of the mind, body & spirit.

Before and During your Treatment

You will be warmly welcomed into the therapy room by Lisa and offered a drink and use of the bathroom.  If it is your first visit to Holistic Health with Lisa MacKenzie a full consultation will be carried out, this is an important process as it provides you the opportunity to discuss your reasons for wanting the treatment, any questions you may have about the treatment and any health issues or concerns you have.  

Consultation also allows Lisa to establish your needs and the outcome she hopes to achieve from the treatment,  Lisa will also use this opportunity to explain the benefits of the treatment, its effects, how long it will take, how often you may need to come, any after care advice to reinforce the treatment at home and devise a treatment plan specifically designed to suit you.

Everything you need to fully relax and enjoy your treatment will be provide for by Lisa.  You will be left in privacy to dress and un-dress, will be required to wear briefs during your treatment and will be covered by fresh towels and a blanket at all times, only ever exposing the area of the body being worked on (no intimate areas of the body will be exposed or treated)

For hygiene reasons Lisa has a wash basin and soap for her hands and always wears an appropriate tunic and trousers, and disposable paper towel is used for each of you to lay on during your treatment.

Lisa would be more than happy to answer any further questions you have, so please do not hesitate to contact her.
