Brooklyn, NY Based Wellness Program Combines Yoga, Counseling, and Massage to Encourage People to Create the Lives They Want to Live
Honeybee Wellness, LLC offers short-term wellness counseling to individuals and worksite health promotion to small businesses.
Brooklyn, NY (PRWEB) May 11, 2005 -- Hol-Life Industries, LLC announced today
the launch of Honeybee Wellness, LLC, a Holistic Health Counseling Practice.
Honeybee Wellness offers a six-month wellness program for individuals and
worksite health promotion for small businesses. Integrating yogic philosophy
with familiar western practices, the company offers clients a refreshing
approach to achieving a work/life balance. While the focus will be on making
healthier food choices specific to the individual’s needs, relationships, goal
setting, and other concerns will be addressed. Honeybee Wellness’ mission is to
help people live healthier, happier lives by empowering them to view themselves
as important and worthy of all that life has to offer.
Melissa D. Haile,
Holistic Health Counselor and Principal, helps clients work through issues with
food, relationships, career choices and more by focusing on the big picture
instead of isolating a single factor. In this way, clients become aware of the
interconnectedness their decisions have on their entire life. “Only then,” says
Melissa, “can a person move towards any real change. For example, when we see
the affect our food choices have on our energy and moods, we can then look at
the way they influence our responses to work, home, love, and even the way we
feel about ourselves.” Throughout the wellness program, Melissa will offer
suggestions on improving those areas. Clients will also be able to take
advantage of yoga classes and professional massages by a licensed massage
therapist. For more information, visit www.HoneybeeWellness.com.
Holistic Health Counseling
involves the individual in the counseling process as much as possible. Holistic
Health Counselors, or HHCs, believe in empowering the individual with the
information and tools necessary to make their own decisions instead of simply
telling them what to do. Because HHCs are not doctors, psychologists, or
psychiatrists, they neither diagnose illness nor prescribe medication. For HHCs,
those solutions are not solutions at all; they often mask the underlying causes
without looking to effectively deal with them in the first place. But HHCs don’t
deny the importance and necessity of allopathic medicine. Instead, HHCs view
their services as complementary, non-invasive alternatives to traditional
methods.
Why Yoga and Massage?
Yoga is a holistic technique in and of
itself. It combines meditation, chanting, and postures, both stationary and
moving, to connect the mind, body, and spirit and bring it into complete
awareness. When practiced on a regular basis, this awareness informs other
aspects of a person’s life tremendously, often bringing to the surface repressed
feelings and emotions the individual is not dealing with. When these feelings
and emotions are confronted, reaching a goal or overcoming an obstacle is much
easier to attain. It is an effective method of release, relaxation, and
rejuvenation.
Melissa is an advocate of massage and encourages people to
get massages everyday, professionally and from loved ones. She believes that
massage is a great way to improve circulation, relieve tension and diminish
stress. “I think that it is extremely important for people to engage in some
form of nonsexual physical contact on a daily basis, such a as a hug and/or
massages of the neck, shoulders, back, hands, and feet,” she says. “We often
take these gestures for granted, but you’ll be amazed at how something so small
greatly enhances the quality of a person’s life.” By including yoga and massage
in the program, it allows clients to indulge in the self-care they wouldn’t
usually allow themselves, helping them to see the importance of putting oneself
first.
Melissa is a graduate of Institute for Integrative Nutrition (www.integrativenutrition.com), a New York City-based holistic
nutrition school certified by the American Association of Drugless
Practitioners. She is also a Kundalini Yoga Teacher in-Training. Her holistic
health training is a lifelong endeavor as it not only benefits her clients but
her personal development as well.
