It's been a very hot weekend here in Phoenix (high of almost 120 degrees Fahrenheit). So I thought I'd do a little blogging while stranded indoors. Today I'd like to talk a little about my bodywork business, Holistic Therapy Solutions, what I do, how I got here, and where I'm going with it....hopefully you'll go there with me.
Originally, when we moved back to Phoenix 3 years ago I set out to be a freelance artist. I didn't have any thoughts of doing anything else. However, plans change when you least expect it. One day while looking at a Facebook friend's profile, I noticed she attended Southwest Institute of Healing Arts in Tempe, AZ (a Phoenix suburb). It caught my attention and within a week I had taken a tour of the school and signed up for classes.
I immediately signed up to take the Associates Degree program in Holistic Healthcare. My main course of study was massage therapy. The degree program also provided a lot of good information regarding holistic living. It included in-depth classes in Western Herbalism, Holistic Nutrition, Ayurveda and more. Besides the core classes and business classes, I had a lot of elective credits to fill. The elective programs I was able to specialize in were, Myofacial Energetic Massage, Reflexology, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Reiki, and Hypnotherapy.
Being a graphic designer, illustrator and fine artist is something I've always loved doing and is something I'll never stop doing. Yet, I'm so excited to take my new business, Holistic Therapy Solutions, out to the world.

I've always had an interest in nutrition and living a healthy lifestyle. What I'll bring to my business and my social media, is information on alternative and complementary therapies and the amazing benefits that they provide, nutritional information/holistic diet, information on herbs, and holistic remedies. I'm also offering a line of nutritional supplements, herbs and homeopathic remedies available for my clients from a company called Energetix.
Energetix is an innovative company that provides high quality products for therapists as well as medical professionals. They provide a wide array of products made from pure raw materials using clean processing methods. I like being a representative and client of this company because I grew up being given homeopathic medicines when sick. I know it works and I know it takes a whole person approach - and I've never heard of homeopathic remedies having any negative side effects (like so many mainstream medicines do).
Where am I going with all this? I'm going to be providing therapies, supplements, and information that help people feel good. I'll encourage people to take a whole person approach, and at the same time, I'm incorporating all of these in my own life more and more, every day.
Of course, I'm still creating artwork as well....again - my philosophy is that the best approach incorporates the mind, body and soul. What you feed your body, mind, and spirit and emotions are important factors in your health, and....together, we'll all grow and heal.
Peace,
Tom
