What Is An Holistic Practitioner?

A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal.

An alchemist… gathering the raw materials of disappointments, loss, uncertainties, and transitions… allowing them to be felt, heard, seen, acknowledged… befriending them… through a sacred process rooted in curiosity, compassion, and a firey love of the truth… thereby producing “gold” such as wisdom, self-compassion, and authenticity.

Lisa Augustine Glasier, paraphrasing Dr. Matt Licata

What is an Holistic Practitioner? Someone who listens without judgment or agenda; someone who encourages and inspires; someone who offers advice and guidance. An Holistic Practitioner is not a therapist or counselor, but offers a feet-on-the-ground practical perspective to you and helps you unpack how to implement changes and process emotions. An Holistic Practitioner is a safe place for you to be raw, vulnerable, authentic, and know that you are being heard, held, and honored.

Who needs an Holistic Practitioner ? Everyone! Holistic Practitioners are not just for those who are struggling in despair or indecision. The best use of an Holistic Practitioner is as a consultant when “you are feeling okay but just know it could be better” or when you are stuck in a loop of thinking and need gentle guidance through the maze of thoughts. There’s absolutely no shame in asking for help. Help from an Holistic Practitioner is beneficial and is most often a pleasant experience.

What happens during a meeting with an Holistic Practitioner ? First and foremost, whatever it is that is best for YOU. This could be you talking, you unpacking your story, you sharing… and it will likely be your HP asking questions, actively listening, encouraging, and offering quiet advice upon being asked permission to share. Proper boundaries between you and your HP keep everyone feeling comfortable and safe.

How often should I meet with my HP? As often as feels right for you. Sometimes, one session does it. But there are situations in which a few sessions feels best. This is your life and your journey so you get to decide, with the advice of your HP, when and how many. You retain power. You are your own best friend.
