We practice holistic health at Radiant Family.
Holistic health is a form of healthcare that is both therapy and health maintenance.
Holistic health takes into consideration the health of the whole person: body, mind and spirit (however you define it).
We are certainly not limited to our biochemistry, and science is step-by-step catching up with "other" ways of knowing the workings of the body and self (like traditional, ancient and esoteric understandings), but looking at what affects our body's chemistry is a great way to think about the absurdity of trying to separate parts of the self and only treat one dimension of ourselves.
If our thoughts and emotions have an affect on our body's chemistry, why treat pain as though it is an isolated symptom?
Can the body heal if you are only getting four hours of patchy sleep a night and are suffering from chronic anxiety?
If everything we eat, drink and breathe affects us, how can we not consider the importance dietary patterns and their affect on our health?
We are not drill sergeants.
We are not here to nag you about every food you eat or every thought you have.
If you are looking for practitioners to "whip you into shape" and regularly lecture you about your bad habits, please look somewhere else.
Instead, we are happy to be partners with you in the path of health, wellness, and ultimately inner peace. It is not our place to judge your choices, but we will be happy to make recommendations and guide you gently down the healthiest path. We hope to work with people who truly want to feel better, and who will regularly make healthy changes in some aspect of their lives. For one person, this may be the start of a stretching routine, for another it could be a new diet, and for someone else it is to stop judging themselves harshly.
Holistic health does not mean we have to fix everything at once, it only means we won't avoid considering the body as a whole with many parts that are interconnected, and therefore should be considered.
We are not primary healthcare providers at Radiant Family. We cannot order blood tests, imaging/scans, or prescribe pharmaceutical medications. We can read your blood tests and your scan reports. We can also work with your existing medications to find therapies that complement the treatment you are already having from other healthcare providers.
Ideally, it is our goal to use the tools in our toolbox to provide you with comfortable, caring holistic treatment to reduce pain and increase overall wellness. We work with injuries, chronic pain, autoimmune diseases, trauma and stress, digestive disorders, anxiety, insomnia and more. We may begin working on someone's tennis elbow, then eventually begin treating seasonal allergies, then just move to monthly wellness visits to keep everything feeling good. We aim to transition everyone to wellness and preventative treatments, and to maximize quality of life regardless of what we are treating.
