Happy Friday. Oh, my gosh. I have been in meetings. I have been in meetings all day. I have had one-on-one clients. I have had team meetings. I have had student meetings.

I just want to talk to you about ethics, spirituality, and holistic healing. Now, I think it’s so important that we talk about this because there’s a lot of disconnect when it comes to holistic healing in this space. 

A lot of people separate holistic healing. Like, there are these buckets, right? Where people think that just because something maybe came from a plant that is holistic, or just because they refuse drugs, it’s holistic. Or they think that because they did it a certain type of way or they used a certain type of thing, it is holistic. 

What so many people fail to realize is that it’s unethical to not look at the whole picture. It is unethical to just consider one thing. That is what most people do. 

Now, I say this because I have clients, I have students, I have had all kind of people come to me and they say like, “I changed this thing, and I still haven’t been able to heal, or I’ve been doing everything. I did everything, and I’m still not able to heal.” 

It’s like, all right, let’s sit down and let’s talk about what everything is. Because everybody’s version of everything and everybody’s version of health is so subjective. When I say that, people will tell me they are healthy, they feel incredible, or I’m doing all right. 

Then, you ask them if they’re on medication or if they could just jog down the street, or how they feel every day and they are in aches. They have aches and pains, and they’re on several drugs, and they’re healthy because they’re not in the hospital. That’s their perception. 

I just want to talk about, ethically, why it’s so important that the services that you provide to clients, the holistic healing guidance that you gift to people, it’s really important that ethically, it truly is holistic because a lot of us are not listening enough. 

A lot of us are not spending enough time getting to know the client in order to truly prescribe holistic solutions. I want you to really think about, everything has to be considered when we talk about holistic healing, mind, body and spirit. Yes, all of that needs to be considered. But we tend to say that we’re. 

I say we, and I mean this community of wellness folk tend to say and preach that things are holistic but they’re not doing it. Okay?

It’s too many people out here saying that they are holistic and they’re not doing it. So ethically, as practitioners, we need to make sure that we spend enough time with our clients. We need to make sure that the solutions that we provide truly are holistic in nature, and that we do make sure that we are considering all things before recommending or guiding somebody through a process. 

Like, you have to understand that things will come up that if you do not address them, and if you are not well equipped with the skills, the knowledge, the experience to address them, your medicine won’t work. The medicine won’t work. 

If it does work, it’ll only work for a short period of time. This means that you have to. Ethically, as a practitioner, you have to make sure that your medicine, your remedies, your protocols are holistic in nature. This is how we set ourselves apart from allopathic medicine. 

Allopathic medicine, you treat one symptom and you cause ten more. It’s unethical because if someone is coming to you for help, you have a divine responsibility to not cause more harm than when they came to you. 

That’s what so many people’s experience of health care is like. I went for one thing and I got that treated, but then I ended up with something else. So what does it look like for us to revolutionize the way healthcare is practiced?

If we are committing to giving holistic care, what does that look like? Does it look like longer initial consultation times? Does it look like making sure that you get to know each person that you work with intimately on a soul level? 

I think that this would change the way that people experience holistic health care, because if something isn’t in alignment, if you can’t sit down with that person for an extended period of time and really get to know them deeply and connect with them, you won’t be able to help them like you could if you did. 

When we start to work in ways that are in alignment with our spiritual values, are in alignment with our life, and in alignment with everything, energetically, everybody will get the right practitioner. There is no competition. 

We are not worried about somebody stealing our money, our business, or our customers, because everybody is in alignment and there is somebody for everybody. You never have to worry, especially when you’re an ancestral medicine woman, because the quality of our work speaks for itself. Right?

I have a waitlist of people waiting to work with me one-on-one. I don’t accept that many one on ones. You always have the right people willing to do what they need to do to work with you. Right? 

So I think that if we can really just remember that the goal is holistic healing, like our goal is holistic healing, we will make sure that everything that we do on the journey to get there is intentional. We will make sure that we do everything on the journey to getting there. 

We’ll make sure that it’s ethical. We will make sure that everything that we do on the journey to getting there is spiritual in nature because when we remember that oneness is really the foundation, everybody would be well if it oneness. But we are so disconnected. 

To sum up this episode, if you are a holistic practitioner, if you are a medical professional, if you are somebody practicing holistic health, you’re a wellness coach, you’re a holistic nutritionist, you have a divine responsibility to ethically consider the holistic client, the holistic patient, and to truly take your time in getting to know them deeply so that you do not cause more harm than good. 

There are too many practitioners recommending things, herbs, lifestyle changes, supplements, without getting to know the client. They’re doing this blanketed statement and saying, hey, you just do this. Even without getting to know them, or without qualifying them, or without seeing what their body composition is and what their life history is. 

We’re doing so much harm because we are not doing our due diligence. We are not being ethical as practitioners. 

I want you all to remember that this is one of the most important things. If you are practicing, if you are preaching, if you are promoting, if you are selling holistic healing, it needs to truly be holistic in nature. It needs to truly. 

You need to be in alignment with what you are practicing, and you need to have that lived experience so that ethically you can truly help people. Okay? 

All right. I love you. I’ll see you next week. Thank you for tuning in with me. Thank you for listening with me. I look forward to building with you next week. All right, peace.
