Whole Health involves body and spirit, mind and emotions working together to create a feeling of “wellness”, not just the absence of illness or pain.
This means learning what can be done to take care of our own health, and seeking activities or treatment suitable to our individual needs. No single approach benefits everybody, but there is a route towards health for each of us.
The Centre for Whole Health offers well established, complementary methods of treating individuals and assisting in their journey towards good health.
