How my work as a Paramedic made me question "Health Care" Holistic Alternative Health Care for Paramedics
In a world where pharmaceuticals are increasingly relied upon to treat health conditions, it's important to explore alternative approaches that empower individuals to take charge of their well-being. As a Paramedic with two decades of experience, I've witnessed firsthand the incredible effects of life-saving drugs and surgeries within the NHS. However, I also noticed a growing population becoming dependent on medications without exploring lifestyle changes that could significantly improve their overall health. This realisation sparked my curiosity and led me on a journey to discover the science behind Yoga and its potential to heal chronic health conditions.
The Integrative Approach: Movement, Mindfulness, Diet, and Sleep
While medications can be a viable option, I discovered an integrative approach that guides patients towards recovery, focusing on four core pillars of health: movement, mindfulness, diet, and sleep. Through extensive research, I learned that Type 2 diabetes, for example, can be reversed through an extremely low-calorie diet instead of relying solely on regular medication. Similarly, regular movement, mindfulness practices, a balanced diet, and restful sleep have shown tremendous improvements in mental health and overall well-being.
Yoga as a Way of Life:
As I delved deeper into the realm of Yoga Therapy, I realised that Yoga was more than just a series of physical movements aimed at improving strength and balance. It was, in fact, a comprehensive way of life that fostered mental well-being, emotional balance, and the release of mental and physical tensions that hinder our creativity, confidence, and optimal health. By embracing Yoga, I found that I could tap into my parasympathetic nervous system to feel emotionally balanced, emotionally regulated, and cultivate a harmonious connection between the body and mind to promote self healing.
When I became a Yoga Teacher I began to share my knowledge to help others unlock optimal health, I developed a holistic and therapeutic approach to health incorporating Yoga, Meditation and Sound as Complimentary Therapies. The opportunity to get to the root cause of a problem rather than just sticking a plaster over the top. Drawing from my Yoga teachings, expertise as a Paramedic, and my personal healing journey, I now offer a coaching experiences that support individuals on their own unique journey.
Optimal health is within reach for everyone, and it begins with embracing an integrative approach that nurtures the four core pillars of well-being: movement, mindfulness, diet, and sleep.
