As we explore the holistic world envisioned by Sonia and her team, featured by MysticMag, we uncover the profound impact of treating the individual as an interconnected whole, promising a journey of empowerment and self-discovery for those poised to venture beyond the conventional boundaries of health and wellness.
Can you describe the holistic approach to wellness that Holistic Axis offers and how it differs from conventional health practices?
The Holistic Axis embodies a comprehensive approach to wellness, encapsulating every aspect of the human experience, including physical, mental, emotional, energetic, and spiritual. We tailor our services to meet the unique needs of each client, which may involve exploring one or more of these dimensions. Unlike conventional health practices, our approach emphasizes the inherent power of self-regulation and inner resourcefulness, minimizing the reliance on external medications.
We focus on educating individuals, communities, and organizations on how to harness their internal resources, starting with fundamental practices like breathing techniques. These techniques enhance focus, calm the mind, and facilitate emotional and thought management, which can significantly influence physical well-being. We recognize the interconnectedness of mental states, emotions, and physical health, acknowledging that long-term suppression of emotions or mismanagement of the mind can eventually manifest as physical ailments—a concept supported by scientific research as psychosomatic and stress-related illnesses or medical conditions.
Conventional treatments often isolate and address individual symptoms or conditions without considering the interconnectedness of various aspects of a person’s life – unlike our holistic
approach. We offer innovative holistic therapy and coaching, embracing emotional processing, mindset coaching, and utilizing practical tools in real life. This blend encourages mindfulness and the ability to choose healthier responses, empowering individuals to learn and adopt new skills for improved wellness, stepping out of their past conditioning.
What range of services and therapies does Holistic Axis provide, and how do these contribute to overall well-being?
Holistic Axis offers a diverse array of services that blend traditional and innovative approaches to support overall well-being.
We provide counseling for individuals, and relationship counseling – for couples, family members, friends, and work colleagues. We offer life coaching, which encompasses areas like breath work, mindset coaching, successful love life, career coaching, job interview preparation, authentic leadership development, or entrepreneurial journey.
Holistic voice coaching for public speakers and singers is another amalgamation of tradition and innovation. We include mindset coaching, kinaesthetic awareness, and all voice-based exercises needed for the development of a healthy voice.
Expanding into more innovative territories, we offer energy treatments such as Reiki which has its roots in ancient Egypt and has been rediscovered in Japan at the beginning of the XIX century.
A gentle energy treatment that restores the sense of inner peace and removes energetic blockages. Modern science has just now begun to discover the subtle aspect of the energetic system of the human body. Sound therapy, in particular, while still considered a complementary form of therapy, is firmly grounded in scientific principles and the laws of physics. Despite some skepticism or misconceptions surrounding these therapies, our practical experience has shown significant benefits. Clients often find that when conventional therapy reaches a plateau, integrating an energy treatment can facilitate breakthroughs and progress, underscoring the potency of these complementary approaches in holistic wellness.
All our services aim to enhance personal growth and healing, communication, and self-expression be that in personal or professional life.
Could you share a success story of a client who experienced significant improvement through your holistic programs?
Certainly. One striking example involves a client who was grappling with severe anxiety, to the extent that daily functions and professional responsibilities were overwhelming. Within the first six to eight months of our holistic program, this individual began to notice a remarkable transformation, characterized by a newfound sense of calmness, an uplifted mood, and a significant reduction in intrusive thoughts. This shift was profound and unexpected for the client, marking a significant milestone in their journey towards wellness.
Another compelling success story comes from a client who, when we began, was heavily reliant on medication to manage an intense anxiety disorder that severely impeded their ability to work effectively. Over a couple of years, through dedicated engagement with our holistic therapies, this individual not only managed to wean off medication but also achieved remarkable career advancements, including excelling in roles that required public performance. This progress is particularly notable given the initial severity of their condition.
These stories underscore a crucial aspect of our approach: the potential for profound personal growth and healing lies within each individual. Anxiety, among other challenges, can significantly constrain one’s ability to express their unique talents and perspectives. Our holistic approach aims to unlock this potential, facilitating a journey towards self-discovery and empowerment. The key ingredient we ask for is an open mind; without it, the path to transformation becomes impossible.
How does Holistic Axis integrate mental, physical, and spiritual elements into its wellness Programs?
Holistic Axis tailors its wellness programs to meet the specific needs of our clients, whether individuals, communities, or businesses. We start by conducting surveys to understand the unique requirements of each client. For business clients, for example, we often design workshops that encompass a range of practices to address mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.
These workshops might include breathwork sessions, yoga, circling, and authentic related exercises, providing a comprehensive journey through various wellness practices.
In group settings such as workshops or retreats, we seamlessly integrate these diverse elements, offering participants a holistic experience.
For individual clients, our approach is similarly tailored but may also include specific recommendations for activities like yoga, gym workouts, or swimming. These suggestions are based on the understanding that physical movement can help alleviate conditions like depression by unblocking and mobilizing stagnant energy within the body. While the common perception is that exercise primarily boosts endorphins, we focus on the energetic shifts that occur through physical activity.
Additionally, our individual sessions may incorporate meditation, visualization, and various modalities like circling to foster self-awareness and personal exploration. Our holistic approach, whether in group or individual settings, aims to address the interconnectedness of mental, physical, and spiritual well-being, guiding our clients toward a balanced and enriched life experience.
What inspired the creation of Holistic Axis, and what is your vision for its impact on community health?
The inception of Holistic Axis was sparked by a personal realization of my deep understanding of the human mind, nurtured through my experiences as a vocal coach. Teaching individuals to harness their voices led me on an exploratory journey through breathwork, body awareness, emotions, mindset, and self-perception. This journey was pivotal, especially when I created a breathing exercise that not only enhanced vocal abilities but also instilled a sense of calm and well-being in my students. This realization prompted me to share these techniques more broadly, recognizing their potential to improve mental health beyond the realm of vocal training. That’s how Rebreathe Focus© was born.
The true catalyst for Holistic Axis came during COVID-19 when I had the opportunity to test my approach with two individuals, pro bono. Their significant improvements confirmed my belief in my methods and inspired me to formalize my practices in a company aimed at fostering a better relationship between individuals and their surroundings.
My vision for impacting community health operates on two levels. Locally, I am initiating projects like workshops in schools to teach children mindful breathing and emotional expression techniques, alongside sound therapy. I believe that equipping children with these tools can profoundly influence their future decisions and overall life trajectory.
On a broader scale, I aim to support businesses in taking care of mental health in the workplace by providing a bespoke designed plan of services to support the organization. Stress is a prevalent issue in professional settings, and by offering leadership development programs, individual therapies, and team-building retreats, we aspire to cultivate a healthier, more productive work environment. Our focus extends to addressing individual challenges within the workplace, advocating for targeted support rather than adapting the entire team to accommodate one person’s needs.
Overall, Holistic Axis is dedicated to unlocking human potential and resourcefulness through holistic wellness, contributing to healthier, more resilient communities.
In what ways does Holistic Axis stay updated with the latest research and developments in holistic health and wellness?
At Holistic Axis, our approach to staying informed about the latest in holistic health and wellness is quite distinctive. We don’t actively pursue the latest trends or developments in a conventional sense. Instead, our growth and evolution are driven by a more intuitive and organic process.
Our company culture doesn’t revolve around seeking out new trends; rather, we find that our community—comprising individuals who are drawn to our ethos—naturally introduces new perspectives and modalities to us. This organic exchange of ideas ensures that our practices are both grounded and dynamically evolving in response to the real needs and contributions of those we serve.
Remaining true to this organic way of growth is fundamental to our identity at Holistic Axis. It reflects our commitment to authenticity and allows us to adapt and innovate in ways that genuinely resonate with our clients and their experiences.
