BODY WORK
Body work has long been proven to be medically therapeutic. This range of therapies includes massage therapy, Hellerwork, Feldenkrais, Reflexology, Cranialsacral Therapy and many other types of body manipulation. The focus here is on restoration, treating ailments, alleviating pain, releasing tension, and promoting relaxation through skillful touch, exercise, and/or lessons in proper posture and function.

Body work can play an essential role in helping you overcome a wide variety of physical complaints like chronic back pain and repetitive stress injuries. And the payoff goes far beyond feeling healthy and pain-free, to feeling limber, strong and balanced. Like sound nutrition and regular exercise, a regimen of body work can make a big difference in keeping your body healthy, and you happy.

HOLISTIC HEALTH & ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE
Holistic health has a long history of making an impact on wellness. In reality, almost all specialties under our umbrella of "Professional Alternatives" could classify as holistic health. But, aside from those with the word "whole" (or any derivative) in its name, Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine, Homeopathy, Color and Light Therapy, Transformational Breathing and Healthy Aging most typically fall into this category.

Today, with the growing number of people searching for more effective solutions, this field is also getting more and more attention from scientists. At its most basic, holistic health evaluates and treats the individual as a whole, not simply as an isolated set of parts. This is based on the logical belief that everything is truly interconnected, and that a weakness in any one area will eventually lead to a decline in all areas. True health, then, is only achieved when there is harmony and balance in body, mind and spirit.

MIND, SPIRIT & EMPOWERMENT
Poor emotional health is responsible for 80-90% of disease. Attitudes, thoughts and feelings are so much more important than most of us realize. In fact, they can override all other supporting aspects of good health including balanced nutrition, regular exercise and adequate sleep. Letting go of destructive behaviors is actually a critical component in keeping your body, heart and mind healthy.

By giving up your negative patterns and behaviors, and becoming clear on what you really want out of life, you’ll find it much easier to create the life you’ve always wanted to live. Soon you’ll discover confidence, inner peace and more opportunities for success. These practitioners give you the support you need for achieving your goals.

This category is so incredibly important to creating the life you want, that it contains the largest number of specialties. These include a wide variety of approaches in the realms of energy healing, coaching, counseling/therapy, behavioral modification, astrology and spirituality.

ROMANCE & SIGNIFICANT OTHER
Research reveals that your wellbeing is closely tied to having a healthy relationship with a significant other. That success and happiness are enhanced by having love and romance in your life is well documented. If you are single you may be worried that the pickings are slim. But not all the good ones have been taken and you really can have it all: a genuine, lasting, loving relationship that transforms your entire life. One that literally takes your breath away, satisfying every cell in your being.

Once you’ve found the person that’s right for you, and you’ve created a union of love and life, you may find adding components of spirituality and sacredness extra valuable. These give rise to states of blissfulness you never knew possible—and that some even say contribute to the common good of all humanity. Dating and Tantra Coaching can help you achieve both of these heavenly states.

INTUITIVE GUIDANCE
People who are successful—personally and professionally—find that their intuition is an essential tool. It can also play a key role in the diagnosis of and recovery from acute and chronic illness. This is because as a human being you naturally possess an “innate intelligence”, or inner source of guidance. So, everything you need to know really is already known to you. You just have to learn to listen.

Few of us are skilled enough to connect with this special and almost indispensable source of wisdom on our own. By using the services of a Channel, Clairvoyant or Animal Communicator for example, you can achieve not only instant results, but reliable ones too.

The value of using these types of intuitive guidance is not just in the fact that the information or details alone can help you make better decisions and reach your goals. It’s that intuitive guidance can also help you open up your thinking, become more flexible and fluid, and feel your heart and mind grow more spacious and loving. Like meditation or yoga, it awakens your authentic self. It teaches you to view your life within a larger context, and energizes you to live your life in a healthier manner.

LIFESTYLE & HOME

Pleasant surroundings can have far-reaching effects on you physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Since you spend a lot of time in your home and workplace, the act of de-cluttering, making adjustments in furniture and décor, and shifting energy frequencies can maximize your potential. It releases negative emotions, generates fresh energy and creates space in your life for health, wealth and positive relationships.

Professional Organization, Environmental Clearing and Feng Shui are the primary specialties in this important category. It is here that giving attention to your environment is considered a show of great respect to you, and your surroundings.

By paying close attention to what’s most important to you, and tuning into your core values, favorite activities and personal preferences all at the same time, these professionals work with you to create spaces you’ll love to live in; spaces that enhance your vitality, sense of harmony and wellbeing.

ESTHETICS & RENEWAL
Looking after your skin is not just important for enhancing your outer beauty, it’s also critical to maintaining your inner health. It’s easy to forget that your skin is the largest organ in your body. And if you’re one of those people who take it for granted, you might want to think again.

Your skin is literally a living, breathing organ. By acting as both a barrier and a filter, it protects your insides from the external environment. It also regulates your temperature, keeps harmful substances from entering our body and eliminates toxins. Just like every other organ in our body, it needs to be fed and kept in shape if we want it to keep doing its job.

Plus, if you crave smoother, younger looking skin with fewer wrinkles and signs of aging, then washing your face and slapping on some moisturizer is not enough. Visiting specialists in Skin Care and Facial Fitness on a regular basis is a good way to keep your skin as beautiful and healthy as it can be.

MIND-BODY
Your body is a storage place for old emotions, and a vital player in the healing process. By incorporating gentle, direct touch with guided discussions, you can more easily become free of negative patterns and energy blocks that keep you feeling stuck—both physically and emotionally—and begin living life to its fullest.

Using hands that “listen”, the practitioner begins focusing on areas of physical tension and tightness. By talking to you at the same time, and verbally encouraging you to explore the psychological roots of these tensions, relaxation occurs and emotional issues emerge. Once you have the opportunity to verbally express what’s happening for you, and having your feelings validated, you experience a deeper level of contentment with life and confidence in yourself.

All of these therapies combine both talk and touch to resolve deeply-buried issues. Specific modalities in this category included Rubenfeld Synergy Method and Inner Process Body Work.

CONVENTIONAL & INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE
The partnering of conventional and integrative approaches is “just plain good medicine”. Conventional medicine focuses on the treatment of injury and acute illness; while integrative medicine encourages preventative care and strengthening the bodies own systems of defense. Optimal health is achieved by marrying the two together.

Clients of providers in this category usually report feeling happier and healthier than ever before, explaining why this is one of the most rapidly expanding fields of medicine. Most doctors of this type use descriptions that closely match their specific area of focus. A Personal Physician, for example, centers on providing personalized care that is far above and beyond what you would typically receive from your primary-care physician.

"Traditional medicine shines in crisis intervention, but where it fails at times is in day-to-day-care. We see a lot of different things where traditional medicine has failed to do anything about it. Too often the question of why the body is broken down isn't asked." Thomas Roselle; licensed chiropractor and acupuncturist who runs an alternative-care practice in Falls Church, Va.
