I'm enrolled in the Holistic Health Practitioner program at Grant MacEwan University. So when I'm at school I'm studying holistic health - where one attempts to consider all of the multiple aspects (physical, mental/emotional, spiritual, environmental, social) that play a role in the health of a person.[1] After spending so much time looking at health topics from a holistic point of view, I realized that I started looking at just about everything that way.
To me, looking at things holistically means particularly including the often ignored spiritual perspective. Of course looking at things from a purely spiritual perspective is not the idea either. In this blog, I'll talk a lot about holistic health and different complementary / alternative therapies or practices. I'll also talk about various challenges I have experienced in everything from my career to parenting. I want to hear your experiences and opinions too so please comment!
I'll be honest: my initial goal in creating this blog is to promote my holistic health business (please see my website - Know Thy Health). But the more I think about it, the more I hope this will be something even better for me - I hope it will help me do one of my favourite things... LEARN!
