What is Holistic Integrative Wellness?

Holistic Integrative Wellness derives from Eastern traditions. Eastern Training is usually in contrast to Western Training. Western training involves using more scientifically oriented or pragmatic approaches typically found in Western education systems and traditional medicine. Eastern training often draws form philosophies such as Buddhism, Taoism, Carl Jung and integrated full body guidance systems like yoga or tai-chi. Western training is likely to rely on empirical science and rational thought. Holistic approaches tend to focus more on balance and interconnectedness of body and mind. With functional integration the person’s overall well-being improves, including their emotional, physical, mental and outer world interactions. Eastern and holistic approaches tend to focus on balance and interconnectedness, whereas western methods often emphasize analysis, categorization, and linear thinking. An Eastern trained Practitioner in the West refers to someone who has received their training and education in both Eastern and Western philosophies, practices and systems beyond traditional medicine. Their education is a combination well beyond 25 years of training. A Holistic Practitioner recognizes the necessity of addressing physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health to create harmony. When you experience an emotion, your body often reacts physically. For example, anxiety might cause heart rate escalation, nervous system burn-out or signals that keep you locked in flight or fight. Emotional distress can manifest as confusion, panic, depression or fear as well as physical symptoms, such as muscular pains, headaches, digestive issues or fatigue. Applying an integrative approach will reduce internal mental and physical imbalances and significantly improve overall well-being. This connection works! Being aware of the interconnectedness of body and mind allows us to recognize how our thoughts and feelings can influence our physical states and chosen actions and behaviors. An Holistic Intergrated Practitioner can help manage both emotional and physical health.

Yatra Sisters

Join the movement of bringing mental health accessible to all.  Life is full of absurdities, unknowns and rather interesting outcomes.  Let's choose to feel safe discussing it.  The Yatra Sisters is reshaping how mental health is administered by encouraging open conversations, where truth and vulnerability along with laughter and acceptance is embraced.  Mental Health should not be the responsibility of just the therapists and counselors.  We can all participate because we all have something of value to add to someone else's life.  Mental Health should be supported by everyone in the community.  And when this shift happens, our successes, failures, moods and messy lives become de-stigmatized.

With Mental Health Awareness on the rise, therapists and counselors have become in high demand.  Thank goodness as a society we are finally embracing the importance of good counsel.  However, not everyone can commit to a weekly counseling session and not everyone can afford it.  In addition, we believe Mental Health should be a community responsibility.  As individual, you may just need one question answered, or needing a little encouragement to help you leap into a new way of being, or need guidance in healthier thoughts, actions and behaviors We, The Yatra Sisters, wanted to make “right counsel” easy to access for everyone. Our weekly podcast and workshops are full of love, laughter and acceptance.
