Holistic services differ from traditional medical services in that they usually take into account the entire person.  Your emotional, mental and spiritual states are given as much attention as your whole physical body, including the injuries or illness.  Holistic therapies usually aim at re-establishing a harmonious balance and vitality to the whole  person with the idea that any part effects the whole. Our bodies are a collection of interrelated energies and systems each taking cue fro the other.  Each of these therapies accesses the mind, body, spirit system in a slightly different way.
