Common Types of Holistic Health Practitioners

Holistic health refers to health practices that address the whole person! There are some significant differences between holistic health and conventional medicine. One of these differences is that in holistic health, there is a strong belief that healing should be focused on the person, rather than the illness. Another is that holistic healers believe everyone has innate healing abilities and can heal themselves. However, we can all use a little help on our journeys toward health! That’s where holistic health practitioners come in — they can offer guidance and support, and teach clients to better listen to their own bodies, minds, and souls.

Some of the most popular types of holistic health practitioners include:

Traditional alternative practitioners:

Traditional alternative healing refers to therapies that have been practiced for centuries. Many of these practices come from Eastern philosophies. A few examples of practices these healers use include:

  • Acupuncture

Healing through the body with manual manipulation and touch is encompassed in this type of healing. Some examples of body and touch techniques used by body-based healers include:

Finding a Holistic Health Practitioner

Holistic health professionals can help determine and prioritize their clients’ health concerns that need to be addressed, and experts in specific modalities can support clients who are embarking on their natural healing journeys. The first step in finding a great holistic health practitioner is to search for one that aligns with your needs and values; one who can help you arrive at the health goals you desire. Next, make sure that the healers you’re considering are credentialed and have received qualified training in their selected fields. Different modalities of holistic health have specific training requirements, and understanding their credentials will indicate to you which healers are truly qualified. Many healers will have reviews available to read on their websites. Taking a quick look through your potential healer’s testimonials is a great way to familiarize yourself with their work. Finally, try a healing session with a selected practitioner and see how you feel. It may take a while to find the type of natural healing that you need, or perhaps you’ll be interested in trying multiple types of holistic healing on your wellness journey!
