My Philosophy: Self-Care is Health Care

We live in a time of rising health care costs, unemployment rates and chronic disease prevalence.  That is a scary picture for someone whose idea of health care is treating an illness once it happens.  Quite frankly, that would mean most Americans are experiencing pretty scary times when it comes to considering what may happen should they become ill or worse — become ill without health insurance.

But there is good news.  You live in an amazing, awe inspiring home — your body.  It is magnificently designed to heal itself if given half a chance.  The problem is that most folks don’t know how to give their bodies a fighting chance to do what they are designed to do.

Western medicine (allopathic medicine) has done wonders for our society.  Antibiotics now cure what once were life-threatening illnesses.  Skilled surgeons save lives of those injured in accidents we can’t begin to imagine how people survive.  Western medicine is wonderful for the treatment of illness,  however, it offers very little to help us prevent illness and stay healthy from the start.

Americans live busy lives and don’t always take time to slow down and focus on the most important person on the planet – Self.  Without Self, we’re done here.  Our work is over.  My clients are men and women who either professionally or in their personal lives help others heal.  They are doctors, nurses, yoga instructors, teachers, ministers, crisis counselors, therapists, moms, dads, good friends and children who, in one way or another give their energy to helping others come back to a place of wholeness.  They are healers who, in different ways, have forgotten the admonition to first “heal thyself”.

I started Stasis Wellness, a holistic health coaching practice, to help healers like you and me first heal the Self.  When we find time to eat well, nurture our minds and our spirits, and give our bodies the care they deserve for all the hard work they do for us, we can prevent illness, reverse illness and find the energy to live the lives we were created for.

I am here to support you in your journey.  It is my life’s work and my greatest joy.

To health and happiness,

Alexis
