This coastal bend Texas practice offers an exclusive integration of Eastern/Western medicine, transformative bodywork and self-treatment tools designed to return the body’s structure, physiology and energy systems to balance and harmony. Therapies offered by Cathy are not to be substituted for traditional medical care and are meant to be a complimentary alternative working hand in hand with your personal health care giver. Holistic care refers to approaches and interventions that address the needs of the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. Holistic nurses honor the individual's subjective experience about health, health beliefs, and values. To become therapeutic partners with individuals, families, and communities, holistic nursing practice draws on nursing knowledge, theories, research, intuition, and creativity. Practicing holistic nursing requires nurses to integrate self-care, self-responsibility, spirituality, and reflection in their lives. Holistic nurses are facilitators of the healing process, or a return of the individual toward a state of wholeness in which body, mind, and spirit are integrated and balanced, and the person is able to reach deeper levels of personal understanding. Holistic nurses use complementary and alternative modalities of treatment to aid their patients in the healing process (AHNA, 2007).
