Preventive Care to achieve wellness

[Kimberly A. Lawrence]

Most of us who sign on to this site are going to agree that preventive care is the preferred way to go with your health and well-being. I would, however, like to spread the word to the masses in any way possible. I am a Holistic Health Counselor and have counseled many clients toward a substantially better life than before they had met me. To be a conduit of this healing humbles me, and I am grateful to be a part of the process. While disconcerting at times because there are setbacks, as there are in everyone's lives, it is even more rewarding when someone pulls through and makes even a small change that helps them move forward in life, sleep better, change jobs etc. Help is not a luxury, it is a necessity! No woman or man is an island. Please join me in my mission to help the community get well. I've sent many to this site in particular because I believe that every movement starts with one, but needs a community. Thank you for reading, assisting and commenting. Be well!

I am a firm believer in knowing your own body when it comes to helping yourself. I'm not sure if this is the direction you are looking for in this thread, but I will say that it's high time that people work with their health practitioners instead of sit idle when it comes to their own well being.

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in late 2005 and decided at that point in my life to be more active in aiding myself to better health. I started to read up on the disease and found out that food might be the culprit, among other things. At that point, I started a journal, detailing my daily food intake, reactions to it, both physically and mentally. I also logged my daily activities and how they were effecting me and my productivity.

Keeping a journal really helped (and my doctor too). I'm also a firm believer in helping people to the best of my ability. I go into much greater detail about my fibro experience in my blog which you can find on my page in my RSS feed. But I have very little experience with Holistic Health Counselors. You think I would given my spirituality and background-- but I don't as far as health care. My health care covers only conventional medicine-- a sad thing for today's day and age. But I'm VERY interested in holistic health counseling and would love some more info on it.

Perhaps we can help more people then we thought possible!

I would love to hear more about your story by all means to also help my other clients who suffer with the same symptoms that go undiagnosed. Please feel free to contact me either via e-mail [e-mail] or business phone [phone]. You will be a tremendous help to many others as well. I look forward to meeting you. peace.
