I didn’t always understand what it meant to truly heal. Like so many women, I spent years looking for quick fixes to my health issues.
I tried the medications, the trendy diets, and the promises of instant relief, but nothing ever seemed to last.
My body would feel better for a moment, only to crash again, leaving me even more exhausted, more frustrated, and more disconnected from myself.
That’s when I realized healing isn’t just about fixing what’s broken. It’s about caring for the whole body, mind, and spirit. That’s when I found the benefits of holistic living.

Healing is Not Just Physical
For years, I thought healing was only about the body. If something hurt, I needed a pill. If I felt drained, I needed caffeine. If my skin broke out, I needed a new product. I was trained to treat the symptom, not the source. But healing is not just about the body. It’s about our emotions, our energy, and our environment.
When I started SheFit Wellness, I did it because I knew women needed something different. We needed a space to heal deeply, not just temporarily. We needed to understand our bodies in ways we were never taught.
Holistic healing gave me the chance to listen—to myself, to my body, and to the wisdom passed down through generations of women who knew that healing takes time and care.
The Power of Herbal Healing
One of the biggest shifts I made in my healing journey was embracing herbal medicine. I remember when I first started learning about herbs, it felt overwhelming. Could plants really be that powerful? The answer was yes.
I started incorporating herbs for hormone balance, stress, and detoxification. The more I learned, the more I understood that nature had already given us what we needed to heal. My body responded in a way that it never had before. It wasn’t just relief—it was balance.

Emotional and Spiritual Healing Matter Too
Holistic healing taught me that my emotions were just as important as my physical health. I had spent years suppressing stress, ignoring anxiety, and pretending exhaustion wasn’t creeping in. But emotions don’t just disappear. They show up in our bodies, tight shoulders, migraines, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances. I had to learn how to release, how to process, and how to let go.
That’s why I started meditating daily. I didn’t make it complicated, I just gave myself five minutes of stillness every morning. I started journaling, speaking affirmations, and reconnecting with my spirituality in a way that wasn’t forced but intentional. The more I healed emotionally, the better my body felt.

The Whole Body Approach is the Only Approach
I won’t lie to you, holistic healing isn’t always the easiest path. It takes time. It takes patience. But it works because it doesn’t just cover up the issue. It uncovers the root of it. Healing isn’t about erasing pain—it’s about understanding it. It’s about listening to your body when it whispers so you don’t have to hear it scream.
A whole body approach means nourishing yourself through:
- Food that fuels instead of depletes
- Movement that strengthens instead of drains
- Herbs and remedies that restore instead of suppress
- Mindfulness that centers instead of distracts
It means seeing yourself as a whole person—because you are. And it means giving yourself the same love and care that you so easily give to others.

My Message to You
If you’ve been searching for healing, I want you to know that you are not alone. I’ve been there. I’ve felt the frustration of trying everything and still feeling disconnected. But I also know that healing is possible.
It’s not in the next quick fix. It’s in the small, intentional choices you make every day. It’s in listening to your body, honoring your emotions, and trusting that you are capable of restoring balance.
The benefits of holistic healing are more than just feeling better for a moment. They are about creating a life where you feel good, where you feel whole, where you feel like yourself again. And that, more than anything, is worth the journey.
