My favorite of our holistic health classes is "Ask the Doc". I get to be the "Doc" and this is the venue and format I like best of all my experiences in medicine. In addition, I am supported by my wise and intuitive nurse Kim and our master bodyworker Sebastian. Our approach is integrative and connecting.
There is so much to know and even more to experience in any individual's road through illness and injury back to health and well-being. Regardless of the details of the condition, it is the interface of the health challenge with the life and experience of the person that brings the entire dynamic to life. And yes, it has a life! That life is loaded with thoughts, feelings, behaviors and reactions. Here is where the magic happens. In the standard medical visit, this dynamic is played down and the illness or injury is played up. For example, you have heart disease and here is what we do for heart disease. The experiencer and his or her experience are minimized or ignored while they are put into the algorithm for their condition. Simple, quick, easier but depersonalizing and isolating.
We at Pando want to offer an opportunity to change this for the better. "Ask the Doc" class is an opportunity to go into depth and personalize a health situation. It can be a personalized path and plan if you are open to making it that. It is holistic as we explore the body, the mind and the full life of our esteemed clients.
If it does not feel comfortable to you to unveil your challenge and the circumstances associated with it in a class setting, come see me for an individual visit. Either way, you will come away wiser, better informed and empowered with a plan to get you back to feeling better.
