Personal visions have a long history in coaching and form the backbone of our work done with clients. For a client to reach holistic goals, there has to be a clear vision, and yet holism itself implies more than a single facet of our client. But getting to our client’s vision is so coveted, that it is a model used in other health, fitness, and wellness settings. [Read more…]
There dwells within all human a divine energy. The power of this energy permeates our entire being and permits us to perform every function in the vast repertoire of human thoughts and behaviors. There are two aspects to this divine energy. [Read more…]
Osteopathic medicine (sometimes referred to as osteopathy) is a complete system of primary health care that is both an integral part of mainstream medicine and firmly rooted in the principles of holistic medicine. It is also the most comprehensive holistic therapy to originate in the US. Osteopathic medicine is most noted for its emphasis on the musculoskeletal system and the interrelationships of the body’s nerves, muscles, bones, and organs – yet its overall scope is far more encompassing.

Some type of mold or yeast fungus disease affects an estimated 50% of people seen as patients, and cause as many diseases as bacteria and viruses.
This affects digestion and the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals. Over time, the result is chronic progressive disease such as cardiovascular ailments, arthritis, gout, asthma, allergies, sinusitis, gastritis, tuberculosis, cancer, and more. The most common symptoms include sneezing, wheezing, joint pain, muscle aches, headaches, fatigue, depression, anxiety, irritability, confusion, rashes, itching, poor memory, numbness, digestive ailments, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, constipation hives, rashes, vaginal yeast infections, and urinary frequency, attacks of anxiety and shaking when hungry, and the symptoms can also be flu-like. Mold can cause fungal diseases of the skin, nails, ears and lungs. [Read more…]
There are many different options and expressions for the ways holism is coached. Because we evaluate the whole person, we need some framing to keep things contained somewhat – or we risk diluting our coaching for too many clients in too many ways. For example, if a Pilates instructor were to meet with a client who has mobility issues – this client cannot do Pilates.
You may observe that some clients presenting with good emotional health tend to be more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and actions. These are clients that have learned positive, healthy ways to cope with stress and challenges that are a normal part of everyday life. These clients typically feel good about themselves and tend to have healthy relationships. [Read more…]
We know by now that the holism movement is based on a philosophy of combining the body, mind, and spiritual elements as the earth, moon, and sun.
If you have trouble envisioning how the Earth, moon, and sun are spiritual, consider this account, by Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man on the moon (and later a founder of The Institute of Noetic Sciences). Mitchell said that while standing on the moon he was deeply moved and felt a strong connection to our planet.
“It was a beautiful, harmonious, peaceful-looking planet, blue with white clouds, and one that gave you a deep sense of home, of being, of identity. It is what I prefer to call an instant global consciousness.”

In our state of current affairs, we hear terms like “we’re all in this together”, or “stay safe at home“. While these are generally true and intended to soothe our nerves, we often don’t know how to make sense of the bigger picture, to find meaning in these statements or to find solutions because of something that we hear on repeat from our television. Yes, we’re all going through a pandemic. But another factor we’re all going through is that we are holding on to hope.
I like to quote a brilliant coworker who says “Hope, by itself, is not strategy”. [Read more…]
If you’ve ever had an interest in holism, you have probably heard the expression “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts,” which is a great way to summarize holism, but what does that mean to you as a coach, or more importantly, what does this mean to your client?
After several sleepless nights, the mental effects become more serious. Your brain will fog, making it difficult to concentrate and make decisions. You’ll start to feel down, and may fall asleep during the day. Your risk of injury and accidents at home, work, and on the road also increases. [Read more…]
