ABOUT HOLLYSTIC HEALTH

We are committed to transforming your relationship with your body because we know it will have a positive impact on every other aspect of your health, including food, exercise, sleep, mindset, and more.
​
What Does 'Hollystic' Mean?
The term 'Hollystic' (pronounced hol-lis-tic) represents our unique approach to achieving better health. It blends Holly's personal experience and clinical expertise with evidence-based practices and holistic medicine.
Holistic medicine means providing support that considers the whole person, not just their physical health needs. It involves looking at a person's mental, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. This approach is built on two core beliefs:
-
Achieving balance in all these areas is the key to living each day in the healthiest, happiest way possible.
-
Compromising one area will likely have a negative effect on the others.
Our holistic approach also takes into account external and environmental factors that can impact your overall health and wellness.
​
What Makes the Hollystic Approach Different?
At Hollystic Health, we recognise that our society's obsession with diet culture has led us to lose sight of what true health means and how to achieve it. Many people struggle to listen to their bodies, jump from diet to diet, develop disordered eating patterns, and impose unnecessary food rules based on the opinions of social media influencers rather than evidence-based research. They also engage in harmful exercise regimes that leave them feeling depleted rather than energised.
But at Hollystic Health, we aim to change that by helping you:
-
See food as nourishment, not a foe: We empower you to view food as a source of nourishment, pleasure, and energy, without resorting to restrictive diets or calorie counting. Our approach encourages mindful eating and tuning into your body's signals for intuitive eating.
-
Exercise for joy, not punishment: We believe exercise should celebrate what your body can do, not punish you for what you've eaten. Our programs and guidance help you find movement that brings you joy, whether it's dancing, walking, yoga, or any other activity that makes your heart sing.
-
Embrace body positivity: We promote body positivity and self-love as essential components of holistic health. Your body is unique and beautiful, and we're here to support you in recognising and celebrating your individuality, regardless of societal standards or unrealistic ideals.
-
Reject diet culture: Say goodbye to the toxic cycle of diet culture. We'll help you break free from fad diets and unrealistic body expectations. Our approach focuses on self-acceptance and self-care, not quick fixes or extreme measures.
-
Listen to your body: We emphasise the importance of listening to your body's signals, whether it's hunger, fullness, or emotional needs. Your body knows what it needs, and we're here to help you reconnect with those cues.
-
Foster environmental wellness: In addition to your personal wellbeing, we recognise the role external factors play in your overall health. Our holistic approach takes into account the impact of your environment, including stress, relationships, and work-life balance.
