I wanted to share my personal experiences with illnesses which were caused by such factors as stress, nutritional deficiencies, toxic foods, emotional trauma, and physical/energetic blockages and weaknesses.
As a child, I was diagnosed with Allergies, Ulcers, and Rheumatoid Arthritis. For years I followed conventional medicine with no relief. In fact some of the medications the doctors had me take were making me even more sick than before taking them!
My healing story started when I turned to holistic treatments and alternative medicine to get to the root of the illnesses through a combination of holistic therapies, such as Nutritional counseling, Acupuncture, Meditation, Hypnotherapy, Reiki and other Energy Healing therapies. Along the journey I learned a lot about the mind-body connection, herbs and food as medicine, lessons of the soul, and so much more.
As time went by, people around me noticed that I was getting healthier, and I started getting phone calls from people I did not know – asking me if I knew a practitioner, therapy or product to help them or a family member overcome their illnesses. Over the years I collected business cards and any information I could find on natural therapies and treatments. I was getting so many phone calls for help- that I decided to put together a website that people could use as a resource to help themselves find holistic options to actually overcome an illness or condition, instead of just dealing with it… or masking it. This is why Alternatives for Healing got started.
For me, the healing journey has been very empowering and enlightening, just as it has been for many of those that list with us. I have heard wonderful stories from practitioners and product companies who are listed with us, who started as clients themselves. When they saw their progress, noticed their healing, and then emerged so much healthier and happier- many of them decided to get certified in that specific therapy or market that product so that they could then help others.
As the journey continues, I still learn something new every day!
