Feeling Stuck?
Holistic Practitioners Can Help

Holistic practitioners are healing facilitators who generally work in the realm of natural medicine. The word “holistic” indicates that they operate from the perspective that all of our “parts” are interconnected and can only be treated in reference to the whole of who we are, including our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual realms.

In my experience, wellbeing is already given to us. It is the “default” position of our lives and our bodies. Wellbeing comes from the source energy of this and all universes. The only thing that keeps us from experiencing the reality of that all the time is resistance, in the form of thoughts (conscious or unconscious), or old traumatic energies we have yet to release. When those energies and thoughts are released, voila! we experience our health and wellbeing, which was already here waiting for us all the time.

The body and psyche immediately begin healing themselves when resistance blocks are removed. However, sometimes we just need some help, a nudge in the right direction, or guidance on how we can bring ourselves back into alignment with wellbeing. In these cases it really helps to get assistance, to help us clear out debris that block the healing process. Basically, that is the work of holistic practitioners – to assist us in removing resistance to the wellbeing that is already ours.

Whenever I experience a holistic practitioner who expertly and lovingly helps facilitate my own self-healing process, I want to tell the whole world about them! I am so grateful to these folks who have made it their mission to help the rest of us. Below you will read my testimonials about some outstanding holistic practitioners.

When Choosing a Holistic Practitioner

In deciding whom you want to work with, I feel it is absolutely essential that you are comfortable with them. Your energetic field will be the most open to healing when you are with a holistic practitioner you trust. In fact, you will automatically soften and relax just by being in their presence, which in and of itself, will begin the healing process!

With this (and all) decisions, trust your own Emotional Feedback Guide and intuition. When you imagine yourself going to your next appointment with the holistic practitioner, you should feel a positive energy, an inner smile.

I also feel it is important to not give your power away. It’s good to work with a holistic practitioner you trust, but don’t give them all the responsibility for your own being. They are there to assist you in your healing. Take an active part in the decision-making regarding how to proceed, always checking in with your Emotional Feedback Guide and intuition. Pay attention to how you feel as you make these decisions – bright and open? afraid? These are important indicators!

Remember, they can’t do the healing for you. Your own body and being will do that. They are there to help you remove blocks to your own wellbeing. No one knows your own body like you do, even if you’re unconscious of parts of it. You can get precise feedback on your own unique path by trusting your Emotional Feedback Guide.

To get to know the holistic practitioner and their work better before you decide to work with them, you can always ask them for testimonials. Speaking of testimonials, below you’ll find a couple of mine, on some outstanding holistic practitioners who have played a huge part in my own healing.

Robert McWilliams, Certified Rolfer This man is an awesome body worker! I first went to Robert because of a tenderness on the bottom of my foot that was impinging on my dance enjoyment. I had heard of Rolfing, but didn’t really know what it was. I figured he’d just do some kind of adjustment on my feet, and off I’d go on my merry way. I had no idea what I was getting into. I ended up doing the full 10-session protocol and it changed my life in ways I never imagined. With each succeeding session I felt more grounded and alive. I began experiencing a warm friendliness toward my body as well as inside it. It feels like parts that didn’t communicate with each other before are now having friendly conversations and developing a more efficient way of working together. I’ve noticed that this effect has extended out beyond my physical body. As a dancer, I’ve noticed my balance is better, my pelvis is much more flexible and my boundaries with other beings are more clear. I’m also feeling a new self-confidence and self-empowerment that comes from a deeper appreciation and respect for my own body and being. From a structural perspective, Robert has shifted some misalignments that were never quite taken care of with other modalities and holistic practitioners I tried. I got some relief from the neck and lower back pain with chiropractic and other means, but it was temporary. With these Rolfing sessions I can feel my whole body working together to find a new way of being – one of increased fluidity and more range of motion with far less pain! There have been some deep emotions that have come up in our sessions and Robert has been extremely supportive in letting them come up and release. He provides an energy field of expertise, compassion, skill, and healing, yet somehow stays in a neutral space and lets what is needed in the flow of the moment take precedence. He is passionate about healing, and amazingly intuitive. He is truly gifted in this work. I trust Robert and feel safe, respected and taken care of in my sessions with him. Besides being a Certified Rolfing Practitioner, Robert has BFA and MFA degrees in Dance, and is also a Certified Skillful Touch Massage Therapist. He was a professional dancer for 26 years and while having a Rolfing session after an injury, had a profound and transformational experience with the work, which led him to passionately offering this work himself. I highly recommend Robert as a holistic practitioner to anyone who is looking for more comfort, freedom, power and joy in their body. I feel this work is also important for anyone dealing with any kind of trauma – physical, emotional, mental, etc. All that stuff ends up in the body and Rolfing can help you release the trauma and the debilitating effects of it. Rolfing is a deep-tissue bodywork that works on the fascia and releases deep physical tensions and rejuvenates the body back into its healthy, natural shape. This is an extremely simplified description of a profound process.

He has treatment spaces in both Boulder and Lafayette, Colorado.

Judy Lekic, Medical Intuitive and Spiritual Counselor To date, I’ve done two sessions with Judy and I will feel forever blessed by what she has taught me. I practice her energy releasing techniques daily. Like many of us, I went through a lot of trauma as a child and negative emotions got stuffed down deep. They crept out at unguarded moments and made a mess of whatever was happening in my life at the time. Because of my past, I had a strong hunger to not only find peace and joy, but to live it. Through various spiritual paths and teachers I was able to experience deep joy and bliss, but mostly only in meditation. I knew there were residues from the past inside me that were messing things up, but I didn’t know how to get at them. I tried several emotional release healing modalities and various holistic practitioners, with mixed success. I knew that these unresolved energies were attracting unwanted experiences into my life. By the Law of Attraction, energies we hold within our being create and attract more of the same. Consequently, until we can somehow get at those negative energies and release them, we recreate the same painful scenarios we suffered as a child over and over again. There may be different people playing the roles, but if you really look, you’ll see that there are one or more basic dramas occurring over and over again in your life. After I had a scary physical experience I checked out some holistic practitioners and was most drawn to Judy Lekic, a medical intuitive. She quickly saw the dark and painful fears, angers and hurts that were still unresolved from childhood. She taught me how to quickly and thoroughly dislodge, free and release these energies, permanently! It was so great to learn how to easily do this for myself and not need to depend on someone else to do it. Finally, I could get at the core stuff that had made such a mess of my life. Finally! One of the places where I got hung up before is that the emotions were so intense that I’d get overwhelmed and feel lost in them. Judy taught me how to break free of the emotions and free myself from their grip. I am gaining deeper compassion with myself, seeing that all this stuff I feel has been there for a reason. Now I’m able to pull it out without being sucked in by it. As I began the self-releasing work … link I started becoming aware of the roots of reoccurring negative patterns in my life. I could see how various subsequent events and people were all connected to the same debilitating patterns. From that awareness I am able to release them. Although it is incredibly uncomfortable doing this work at times, it is so worth it. Instead of recycling the same old hurts over and over again, now I just have to feel it and release it. For deeper issues it sometimes takes more than one go at an issue, as there are layers to it, but the shift in how I feel is obvious. There are days of absolute bliss. There is now love and light within me in places that had been dark and tight like a fist. I love Judy’s direct, no-nonsense approach. She sees what’s going on, gets guidance on how to help and teaches me how to help myself. She is passionately dedicated to healing and wellbeing and I highly respect her as a holistic practitioner. Judy Lekic is a Registered Nurse, holds a Master's Degree in Psychology, and is currently working towards her PhD in Philosophy. She has been seeing and talking to angelic beings for most of her life. She is a medium, clairvoyant, and also does readings to open up communication between you and your own guides. Judy studied with Dr. Tad James to become a Master of Time Line Therapy™, is a Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming and a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist. She is also certified with the American Board of Hypnotherapy. After studying with the renowned Dr. Doreen Virtue, Judy received her certification as an Angel Therapy Practitioner and became a certified Medium. She has studied under Laurie Grant and received certification as a Master in ARCH Healing, and is a certified associate of Patti Conklin. Working with Judy, it is obvious that she receives most of her guidance and information from the angelic beings who work with her. I was honored by their presence and their pristinely clear view of what was going on within me. If you are feeling stuck in any area of your life, there is a reason for it. Judy can help you discover what that is and release it. You can check out her site at alternativechanges.com to see the varied services that she offers as a holistic practitioner. She does sessions in the Thornton, Colorado, area, as well as over the phone. To schedule a private session with Judy call 303/635-2243 or you can email her at judy@alternativechanges.com
