Dr Ilana has been supporting patients for over 12 years with Chinese medicine. However, she soon came to realise that acupuncture and Chinese herbs were not enough. Chinese medicine is an excellent medical philosophy and can be very effective for rebalancing your health. However, the truth is that most of your health complaints are not just physical. They are rooted deeply to your emotional spirit, attitude, habits and beliefs.
Advice Beyond Needles & Herbs
This is why a session with Dr Ilana is often very different to a standard Acupuncturist. There are so many reasons why your health is suffering. Now, if she just gave you some herbs and acupuncture every week; you probably will feel better. However, you are doing things every day in your mind with your thinking, how you process your emotions, your communication and your outlook on life that also impacts your health. These negative habits and beliefs can undo all the good achieved from acupuncture and herbal medicine. That is why a deeper holistic healing practice provides more lasting results. That is, providing you are willing to make changes at the rate that is comfortable for you.
Be the light, that you want to see in the world.
What is Holistic Healing?
Holistic Healing involves deep analysis to how your body is presenting, along with looking at your diet, what you drink, any bad habits that need support, whether work, people, mindset or emotions are getting in the way of your health and happiness. After the consultation, you get to relax in a beautiful calming space with very gentle acupuncture that shifts stuck energy in your body. You may be prescribed a supplement, tissue salt or Chinese herbal medicine formula depending on your presentation. Every consultation is unique to what your body needs. If you are willing, Dr Ilana will provide you with the information and advice you specifically need to improve your health and your life.
Metaphysical Holistic Healing
Metaphysical holistic healing refers to how the signs and symptoms of the body are speaking to you. Here are some examples taken from Louise Hay’s Heal Your Body which explains the mental causes for physical illness and the metaphysical way to overcome them.
Cough – A desire to bark at the world. “See me! Listen to me!” Affirmation to remedy: I am noticed and appreciated in the most positive ways. I am loved.
Fatigue – Resistance, boredom. Lack of love for what one does. Affirmation to remedy: I am enthusiastic about life and filled with energy and enthusiasm.
Gum Problems – Inability to back up decisions. Wishy-washy about life. Affirmation to remedy: I am a decisive person. I follow through and support myself with love.
Post-Nasal Drip – Inner crying. Childish tears. Victim. Affirmation: I acknowledge and accept that I am the creative power in my world. I now choose to enjoy my life.
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) – Allowing confusion to reign. Giving power to outside influences. Rejection of the feminine processes. Affirmation: I now take charge of my mind and my life. I am a powerful, dynamic woman! Every part of my body functions perfectly. I love me.
Can you relate to any of the above mental causes for physical illness in yourself or someone close to you?
Work With Me
Some patients have likened Dr Ilana to a therapist. But without analysing you, actually communicating what is happening to you and what you are doing in your life. However, she is always on your side. One of the greatest things that may be missing in your life is good, experienced and logical advice with complete support. You can see hundreds of different healers, but you need to commit to your own journey of healing and wellbeing to experience the success and results.
That’s where Dr Ilana comes in, no matter what you are facing, you can seek the support with care, professionalism and no judgement. Lao Tzu said that a thousand mile journey begins with one small step. When you search for a practitioner to work with, make sure that they are qualified and experienced, and that they care about their patients. When you meet them and it feels right, your instinct will tell you that they are the right professional for you. You are worthy and deserve the best, always remember that!
