At this time of year when people are making a commitment to their well-being, here are some things to keep in mind when working with Alternative Healers.
☯Healers are a partner in the journey.
- The relationship is collaborative rather than hierarchical.
-Practitioners “hold space” and guide, but you remain the primary driver of your healing journey.
-Empowerment is central—you are not a passive recipient but an active participant.
🎉Alternative practices rarely fit into a box.
-Alternative healing rarely fits into rigid categories.
-Even if two practitioners share the same title (e.g., herbalist, energy worker), their approaches, philosophies, and toolkits differ.
-This diversity allows for highly personalized care tailored to your unique needs.
💬Subtle communication is necessary.
-Holistic healers often navigate boundaries in what they can and cannot say.
-Reading between the lines is a skill that serves you well working in this realm of healing.
-Intuition and discernment become valuable skills in interpreting insights.
As I always say, "Run this through your truth meter"
💓Healing can bring discomfort.
-True healing often involves addressing root imbalances rather than masking symptoms.
-As underlying causes surface, temporary discomfort (fever, fatigue, digestive shifts) may arise.
-These experiences can be part of the body’s natural recovery process, leading to deeper, long-lasting healing.
✨ In essence, working with alternative healers is less about quick fixes and more about engaging in a transformative process—one that honors individuality, partnership, and the body’s innate wisdom.
