Hello and Welcome!
 
 
 
 
 
My name is Rachel VanGiller and I am a certified Holistic Health Practitioner, Reiki Master Teacher, Herbal Specialist, and Ordained Clergy Person with the Church of Spiritual Humanism. I have been practicing holistic therapies since 2005 and would like to share some of my passion and knowledge of healing with you. I would like to thank you for visiting my site. I hope that you will find the information here useful in your search for improving and maintaining your health naturally.
 
Maintaining good health should be a lifelong goal and one that is continuously being updated as short term goals are met. You have to decide that you are ready physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually to heal yourself before healing can occur. Once you make this commitment to yourself you must be willing to follow through with it and continue your healthy habits (even after you feel that you have reached your short term goal). No one can be responsible for your health but you therefore it is up to you to do all you can to become and remain informed of good health practices. Remember healing begins and ends with YOU!
 
Holistic healing is a personalized approach to maintaining optimal health using natural therapies. This approach focuses on the individual as a whole, not on symptoms. The idea is to treat the whole person (mind, body, emotions, spirit) in order to bring the whole person into a state of natural balance. I believe that healing is as much spiritual as it is physical, therefore on this site you will see references and information of a spiritual nature. In most cultures (especially ancient ones) healing was performed by the spiritual leaders, and so much healing information is deeply intertwined with spiritual or "magic" practices. Any references made by me on this site to "magic" or "rituals" are simply to include the more traditional spiritual side of healing. Nothing that I add to this site in regards to healing rituals is to endorse any one particular path over another nor is it here to convert anyone. I provide it purely for informational purposes and because I find it interesting.
 
Holism does not include the use of drugs or medical techniques, but can be safely used in conjunction with medical care. Holistic therapies are not to be used as a replacement for medical treatment. Please keep in mind that any information on this site or in newsletters from this site are not meant as medical advice, as I am not a medical doctor, but is rather for informational and educational purposes only. For any medical issues you should always seek the advice of your health care practitioner. Holistic healing does not treat, diagnose, or cure diseases but rather seeks to restore balance by finding and correcting imbalances.

 

The pages on this site are here for your browsing pleasure; I hope you find the information interesting and helpful. I do my best to present useful and interesting information that will help you to make more informed health choices. Should you have any questions or comments about anything you see on this site feel free to contact me to share your thoughts. All feedback is appreciated and acknowledged.

 

Thanks for taking the time to view my site.

In good health,

 

 

   Rachel VanGiller, HHP
