Essential Spotlight
I
started Soul Being to create a community that connects health seekers and wellness professionals. I discovered holistic living in 2010. My mom suffers from chronic back pain, and has been on prescription opiates for 35 years. I was looking for a way to help alleviate her pain and bring some relief. The medication only masked the symptoms, but did not address the whole person. It’s been my experience that in order to have healing, the best ap- proach is a holistic one. Dealing with the physical body as well as the thoughts and feelings of a person. Wellness is about more than optimum physical health, it’s about an overall sense of well-being. Which can be achieved when every aspect of us is in harmony and alignment.
When I started researching alternatives to deal with pain, I came across a slew of therapies ranging from acupuncture, yoga, reiki, chiropractic, nutrition, to meditation and breath work. And as I looked to engage a wellness professional in any of these therapies, I found it difficult, like looking for a needle in haystack. Google would only get me so far. I realized that the wellness marketplace is fractured and fragmented. Professionals each have their own practice and are seemingly unconnected. I knew it would be so much easier for people, like me and my mother, to have one central source to get information and find qualified help. And the idea for Soul Being was born.
