More and more people favour
interdisciplinary approaches by which knowledge and methods from different
disciplines are integrated to bring a better understanding of what is at play.
Traditionally, history at school was matching dates and events and based on
learning facts without much analysis. Applied to history, an interdisciplinary
approach considers people’s motivations, their geographical location, the
influences of religions, the social conventions and the economics at the time
in order to create an integrated, enhanced and deeper learning experience.
This real
synthesis of approaches can be applied to health and healthcare and create a
holistic perspective where complex problems can be addressed more rationally
and practically. There are so many aspects to health : strength, fitness,
flexibility, resilience to stress but also joy and happiness. Each of us have
unique physical, emotional and psychological needs as well as different health
profiles. Those needs can be met in a multitude of ways but the choice people
make in meeting these needs are very dependent on their financial and family
situations, their work commitments and the time they have available. It is so
easy to put your health and well-being “on the back burner”. One solution fits
all is no longer enough in our very busy and complex lives. Attending a
workshop and a weekly group class can do wonders but is it enough to sustain
you in the long run?
In my thirty
years of practice, I have engaged in the learning and practice of several
modalities and have worked with many people who have struggled to reach a
positive work-life balance. I have now sufficient experience of an
interdisciplinary approach applied to health to offer bespoke well-being
programmes combining healing modalities and prescribing simple yoga postures
and techniques you can do at home.
