Our understanding of the word 'holistic' is this: that the body is
part of a complex combination of spirit, mind and body, and that physical symptoms are
invariably caused by prior spiritual and emotional disturbance. Holistic health means
addressing each individual's spiritual and psychological needs, in order to facilitate
and empower the healing of the body. Only then can we become 'whole' again and
healthy - when we recognize and acknowledge our existence as eternal souls. At
Castlewich, we take the view that each person is an immortal spiritual being;
it is the power of this truth which is the real source of healing and wholeness.
Of course, we also address this issue from an entirely practical viewpoint of diet,
exercise, relaxation, communication, counselling and support.
