"Self-Help is the key to obtaining and maintaining well being"

WHAT IS BIOHOLISTICS?

Bioholistics is the study of the relationships between living systems. It is concerned with the holistic integration of mind and body with the environment. Bioholistic studies incorporate, though not exclusively, the concepts of Bioenergetics and Biodynamics. It is more concerned with the ultimate relationship between the inner-self (the spirit) and the outer-self (the universe) and the body that goes in between.

To better understand yourself, your attitudes and behaviors, is to acknowledge that your body, mind and spirit function in the greater environment to create a whole being. In Bioholistic therapy the human body is accepted as a microcosm. Initiating change and the self-discovery resultant in that effort are central in Bioholistic therapy. As a Bioholistic therapist, Elizabeth enjoys reaching deeply through light touch, as well as affecting physical release, through deep, musculo-skeletal technique. All change is measured through the physical body and each individual's interpretation thereof. Elizabeth, who often serves as an advocate for her clients, works cooperatively with primary physicians and all care-giving teams, to facilitate the greatest, individualized well-being.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN A SESSION WITH ELIZABETH

A first session can easily last 2 hours. I'll ask you to do a few movements for a brief kinesthetic overview and then you will receive a selected variety of therapy techniques. I'll assess acupressure and reflex points, muscular tone and range of motion of joints. Abdominal palpation will reveal inflammation and/or toxic conditions. Spinal massage can reveal neural involvements and finally neck and head therapy releases acute or chronic stress.
