Self care is fundamental in everyone’s healing journey.

Although you will be given recommendations for dietary and lifestyle adjustments in your acupuncture and shiatsu sessions, you may need more detail or extra focus on implementing these changes.

With an abundance of health advice literally everywhere, it is often confusing and contradictory.

Health coaching is a guided investigation into creating clear strategies to support your life, at any stage, for any reason.

Within the philosophy of Chinese medicine there is an area called Yang Sheng, the Art of Self Healing.

Health coaching is the Art of Self Healing.

Anny’s coaching programs cover 3 main areas.

Happy Belly: Food is obviously a big consideration, especially now that it is agreed; food we eat fuels all metabolic processes of life. The food we eat has always been considered the first port of call, in all cultures. Even before herbal medicine, food as medicine has a wealth of healing to offer, regardless of your health issue.

Happy Body: Movement practices are vital for wellbeing. Where there is movement, there is life. What may have once suited you may not anymore. What are your needs now, with the body you now inhabit?

Happy Mind: which has the strongest effect - Mind over body or body over mind?

Could both be true?

Brain fog for example is a primary symptom of food intolerances to gluten or sugar for example.

A clear indication of body over mind.

Whereas, mindfulness practices of visualisation or EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) for example show improved performance where focussed on, or decreased stressful response where needed. Here, a clear indication of mind over body.

It is of course not possible to completely seperate these areas of belly, body and mind. From moment to moment we are functioning and making decisions as a whole being.

However, a targeted approach opens the way for new possibilities, moving away from habits we have formed over time which may not be serving us any longer.
