About holistic
Holistic wellness looks at the whole person (body, mind, emotions and lifestyle) rather than one symptom at a time. Holistic practitioners and wellness centers often combine several approaches, such as nutrition, bodywork, energy work and mind-body practices.
A first visit is usually longer than a follow-up and starts with conversation: your goals, routines, sleep, stress and what you have already tried. From there the practitioner suggests a mix of in-session work and things to try at home.
Choosing someone in Oakland
- Check their credentials and which approaches they actually practice.
- Ask how they work alongside your doctor.
- Choose someone who explains their thinking clearly and doesn't promise cures.
