We are all unique, ever-changing beings, and our approach to personal health should reflect this truth. Your physical, mental, and spiritual health needs are unique, so why should you submit to one-size-fits-all healing strategies? Your health needs are also constantly evolving-what fulfills those needs now may not work forever.
In Practical Wellness, fitness and wellness practitioner Laurie Neri Barrett guides you through the many healing strategies available today. You'll learn about the efficiency of myofascial pain management and the therapeutic benefits of Pilates, Feldenkrais, and other movement therapies, as well as homeopathy, colonics, Bach Flower remedies, and more.
Diet is just as important to health as physical and mental healing. Barrett offers an opportunity to escape the restrictions of western medicine's cookie-cutter diets. Instead, you'll discover how genetic nutrition helps you create your own blueprint of nutritional needs.
We all live in the moment, and our bodies respond accordingly. Every day is an opportunity to explore our physical and mental states and to recognize the subtle effects of those states on our health and wellness. Traditional medicine is only one way of fortifying health-Practical Wellness offers a road map to a realm of exciting, empowering alternatives.
