A friend recently let me know about this awesome community wellness centre located at 117 Arthur Street in the heart of Onehunga. The Shiloh Holistic Wellness Hub aspires to encourage individuals and families to take responsibility for their health and wellbeing through a holistic approach utilising natural therapies that support the mind, body and soul.
Some of the amazing services offered include Pain Management, Kinesiology, Energy Work/ Healing Facial, Reiki Healing, Hand Massage, Art & Clay Therapy and Access Consciousness®. Practitioners offer their services for Koha and they welcome their community to drop in on Fridays for their Healing Open Day from 10am-1pm.
Read on to find out more about the vision, mission and philosophy of Shiloh Holistic Wellness Hub.
From Shiloh Wellness Hub:
Our Vision: Enriching lives to create a unified community that enhances individuals with their wellness, education and creativity.
Our Mission.. A community centre that is seen to be the heart of the community, strengthening the lives of individuals and families.
The word Shiloh means peace, abundance and a sense of belonging.
Holistic means based on the principle of holism. “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts”. Holism is an important concept in the sciences and social sciences, and especially in medicine. Holistic medicine tries to treat the “whole person” rather than focusing too narrowly on single symptoms. It emphasises the connections between the mind and the body, avoids the overuse of drugs, and has borrowed such practices from Eastern traditions as acupuncture and yoga.
Holistic health of a person concentrates on the connection of body, mind and spirit functioning at their highest levels to attain complete wellbeing in the environment in which they interact. To achieve holistic wellbeing and feel your best, a person must have a complete approach that meets the needs and wants in each area, that are the most enjoyable and meaningful to you (physical, mental, emotional and spiritual). Most people pay attention to at least one or two areas of their holistic health, for example they would exercise regularly and eat well but this is only one aspect of holistic health and wellbeing (body) and therefore they will need to make changes in their lifestyle to make room for and look after the other areas as well. The results to a person’s wellbeing after creating a balanced state of holistic health to their lifestyle is a healthier, complete, fulfilled and happier self (Schaerer,2015).
We wish to invite our community to drop in on Fridays for our Healing Open Day from 10am-1pm @ Shiloh Holistic Wellness Hub. Our aim is to encourage individuals to take responsibility for their health and wellbeing through a holistic approach utilising natural therapies that supports the mind, body and soul.
We have a team of natural health practitioners who are passionate about supporting people who are looking for alternative ways of relieving stress, anxiety, pain and wanting the personal touch of healing hands that can boost their physical, emotional and mental wellbeing.
