What are mind-body therapies?
Mind-body therapies seek to treat the whole person, including their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. These therapies work by addressing the root cause of an individual’s health issues rather than just treating the symptoms, and are based upon a holistic model of mind-body unity, rather than the dualistic approach of health which is used in mainstream healthcare.
The focus of this group of therapies is on creating balance within the mental, emotional, energetic, and physical aspects of health. This can be achieved by using a range of techniques such as acupuncture, massage therapy, meditation, aromatherapy or reflexology. Holistic therapies aim to support the natural self-healing processes of the body, in addition to encouraging individuals to make positive lifestyle changes, and to take a greater level of self-control over their own wellbeing and experience of life.
Important notes about therapist approaches
If you are thinking of going to a local therapist, then it's important to find the right person for the help that you are seeking. There is a lot of confusion about what holistic therapies are, and how they are used. So, just to clarify, there are two broad types of approach within holistic therapies.
The first approach within holistic therapies are spa-type treatments. These are best for people who want to experience relaxation now and again, and who may be more orientated towards gentle self-care treatments. Therapists in this group also often provide beauty treatments, facials, skin care, relaxation, and pampering-type sessions.
The second type of service is provided by therapists who have a health-orientated approach. They have qualifications in remedial and therapeutic modalities, and focus on issues such as pain relief, symptom management, and improving health and wellbeing. Therapists in this group are more likely to use deeper, therapeutic work, and to see clients regularly in order to get long-term health results.
What Can Holistic Therapies Help You With?
Online holistic health coaching
I provide online coaching sessions for holistic health and learning how to use mind-body therapies at home.
These sessions help you to integrate simple holistic health therapies into your daily life. You can learn how to use practices like aromatherapy, reflexology, acupressure, nutrition, or mindfulness. Or you can get specific guidance about which tools, resources, or products will be most beneficial for your individual self-care and symptom relief programme.
Here are a few things we can include in your online sessions:
* Your own bespoke aromatherapy programme for emotional health
* Learn how to use mindfulness for stress relief and wellbeing
* Acupressure points for stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm
* Simple practices for reducing chronic pain conditions
Regularly visiting a qualified local holistic therapist near you is the ideal solution for long-term relief from stress-related health issues. A qualified therapist is experienced in dealing with your symptoms, and can give you accurate, individualised advice and treatment. So this is the route which I highly recommend.
However, in addition, it can also be highly beneficial to learn how to use simple therapies for your own use at home. Using regular mind-body therapies is an effective way to reduce stress-related symptoms. Therapies can provide relief for problems such as anxiety, sleep disorders, muscular pain, and tension which has occurred as a result of chronically high levels of stress.
Also, if you supplement your regular visits to a qualified therapist with your own therapies and mindfulness practice at home, you will usually experience better, longer-lasting, results.

Remedial Massage
A therapeutic massage that is designed to address specific issues or injuries in the body. It involves using various techniques such as deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, sports massage therapy and myofascial release to target problem areas and promote healing. Can help to reduce pain and inflammation, improve range of motion, and enhance overall well-being. Effective for the relief of muscular pain, headaches, and stress-related health problems.
Acupressure
Acupressure is a traditional Chinese therapy that involves applying pressure to specific points on the body to stimulate healing and restore balance. It is based on the same principles as acupuncture but does not involve the use of needles. By applying finger pressure to these points, acupressure can help reduce pain, improve circulation, relieve tension, and boost overall well-being. With its non-invasive approach, it is an effective therapy which complements massage.
Reflexology
Reflexology involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, and ears that correspond with different parts of the body. It is based on the theory that these reflex points can stimulate energy flow and promote healing throughout the body. Reflexology is effective in reducing stress and anxiety, improving circulation, and promoting relaxation and sleep. It can also be helpful in restoring overall wellbeing by restoring energetic balance throughout the body.
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy uses essential oils to promote physical and emotional well-being. It involves applying oils to the skin, which can stimulate the limbic system in the brain and have a calming effect on the emotions and body. Aromatherapy is particularly beneficial for managing emotional regulation and stress reduction. Essential oils such as lavender, peppermint, and eucalyptus can also help reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep quality, and boost immune function.
Fibromyalgia Therapies
Massage therapy is particularly well suited for chronic fatigue conditions and fibromyalgia. Professional and self-massage techniques are valuable tools for releasing myofascial pain and promoting healthy tissue function - when used regularly. This is particularly important for the relief of fibromyalgia pain. I have found that best results are experienced when used as part of a comprehensive therapeutic plan for fibromyalgia and exhaustive conditions.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness and meditation techniques are essentially a form of self-enquiry. They can help with increasing awareness of how the mind is working, In most cases, they will help to quiet the mind, and they can also be useful in reducing stress-related conditions such as anxiety, worry, muscular pain, and tension headaches. In addition to the direct mental benefits, mindfulness can help with long-term creation of healthier life habits, and becoming more self-aware.
Hot Stone Therapy
Hot stone therapy is a gentle massage technique which involves the use of heated basalt stones to release muscular tension. The heat from the stones helps to increase circulation, allowing for deeper muscle relaxation, and stress reduction. Stones and crystals can also be placed on the chakra centres of the body for use as an energy-based therapy. Hot stone therapy can be used to alleviate chronic pain, and works best when combined with remedial massage.
Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage is a relaxing therapy that focuses on the scalp, neck, and upper body. It involves massage and pressure point work in the head, neck, and facial areas to release tension, improve circulation, reduce stress, and promote relaxation. Indian Head Massage has been found to be beneficial for relief from headaches, migraines, sinusitis, insomnia, and anxiety. It can be used as a relaxing seated therapy, or part of a regular massage if you want more therapeutic results.
Reiki
Reiki is a form of energy healing and spiritual therapy. It focuses on releasing blocked energies within the body, which can lead to physical, emotional, and spiritual imbalances. Reiki is effective in reducing stress and anxiety, promoting relaxation and sleep, boosting the immune system, and restoring a sense of wellbeing. It is a gentle and non-invasive therapy. Combine with other therapies or coaching to address underlying issues, and get the best results.
