During my training as a medical doctor I developed a genuine appreciation for alternative health and its proven techniques for treating a plethora of conditions shown in the list below. Through further Soul searching and continuous learning I eventually decided to dedicate my career to Holistic Health for I believe we have all the essential resources within us, it’s just a matter of eliciting and applying the knowledge to the best advantage for our benefits in most gentle and caring way.... As soon as we learn how to manage our emotional health people will be able to lead mindful and meaningful lives because it would feel great. Our life is a symbolic journey with limitless opportunities that often emerge from challenges of illnesses and dysfunctions with surprisingly positive outcome .I believe changes can be instantaneous and lasting and at times, effortless, all we need is have a desire to want to change, to understand we have the ability to change and most importantly, know how to change for better ...noticing the changes taking place is the most profound transformation of healing... I believe multiple psychosomatic conditions may be approached in the drug free manner coupled with supportive Client Centred approach and therefore can only advantage, support clients in their best interests. In my opinion, focusing on quality of the relationship with client is paramount as treatment itself.
