What does holistic mean?

A holistic approach focuses on providing comprehensive care that nurtures all aspects of an individual's well-being. It acknowledges the interdependence of a person's physical, emotional, social, and spiritual health. This approach respects the uniqueness of each person's path to recovery, recognizing that various internal and external factors such as age, culture, heritage, language, faith, sexual and gender identity, relationships, life experiences, and beliefs play a role.

In holistic practice, the emphasis is not on solely treating the illness or its symptoms but on promoting healing for all of the mind, body, and spirit.
