What is Holistic Counselling? with Michelle Garbutt

Michelle Garbett, a holistic counselor and transformation coach focused on emotional health and supporting mindset and mental well-being, especially for those with autoimmune diseases like IBD.

Michelle shares her personal journey of dealing with ulcerative colitis for 20 years before making a career change.

After experiencing a severe flare-up in 2016, Michelle sought alternative approaches like meditation and life coaching to manage stress and ultimately achieve remission.

Her successful experience with holistic practices led her to become a holistic counselor and meditation teacher.

Michelle explains that holistic counseling allows for a broader, more integrated approach to healing without strict industry regulations.

This approach enables her to incorporate various modalities like meditation, soul coaching, and life coaching tailored to individual needs.

Meditation activates the vagus nerve and promotes the relaxation response, aiding in healing trauma and reducing anxiety.

Michelle emphasizes that meditation should be personalized and encourages finding a guided meditation with a voice and style that resonates.

Michelle recommends starting small with guided meditations and gradually increasing the duration.

Consistency is key, and she suggests establishing a daily routine and incorporating small rituals to signal the body and mind that it's time to meditate.

Michelle advises experimenting to find what works best, whether it's morning or evening, and even suggests walking meditations for those who struggle with sitting still.

This episode of "Healthy, Not Hungry" offers valuable insights into the transformative power of holistic practices, particularly meditation, in managing chronic health conditions and promoting emotional well-being. Michelle's personal journey serves as an inspiring example of how integrating mind-body techniques can lead to profound healing and positive life changes.

YOU CAN ASK any NUTRITION and WELLNESS QUESTIONS
We would love to answer them for you and have you on and help everyone else out there because I think this is the right thing.
So if you're brave enough to put it out there, it's completely anonymous. It may not just help you and give you that nutritionist knowledge for free, and help others with the same questions or issues.
