Dear Community,
On this rainy day here in Auckland, I would like to take the time to share with you a few recent developments at The Holistic Health Corner but also some personal reflections which I have come across during this lockdown. I hope you can find a spare minute to read through this message.
Who would have thought, right? This lockdown has been the most challenging time for me - professionally, but also personally. Mental health has become the highest priority in my life after experiencing several draining events of coping with fear and uncertainty. I have spent a lot of time thinking of how I can continue helping others in their health journey while considering the continuously changing updates of our government.
***New Location | During the lockdown, I moved my clinic to 300 Richmond Road, Grey Lynn. Rest assured, the new location has a lot to offer. Before your visit, you will be well taken care of by our friendly reception staff. We have a comfortable lounge and waiting area where you can enjoy a warm tea or coffee before or after your appointment with me. Parking is now guaranteed and remains free of charge. My highest aspiration is to make you feel welcome, comfortable, and safe at all times.
***Physical Appointments | Fear of contracting the virus is now part of our everyday life. Like many of you, I have spent the last past weeks educating myself with recent research papers published by renowned scientists and trustworthy media. According to a research paper published by The Lancet, a weekly peer-reviewed general medical journal, findings indicate continued risk of infection in households contacts despite vaccination. This and many other research papers have led to me making the decision to close my physical clinic for the rest of 2021 and reassess the situation in 2022. It is a tough decision but with the current situation, I don’t feel comfortable putting you and myself at risk.
***Roadmap 2022 | As a holistic nutritionist and mobility/flexibility therapist, I enjoy the impact these approaches to health have on my patient's wellbeing. I celebrate seeing my patients transform their bodies and succeed in life by implementing a strong mindset. The Holistic Health Corner will therefore transform into a health hub that offers its services to everyone around the world. More to come in 2022.
I am a firm believer that life pushes us with the intention to evolve. Change is never pleasant, but hang in there, it makes sense when you allow it to happen. I learned that social connections are essential in challenging times, nature is where we belong to and must reconnect with, and that sometimes it is ok to go inwards and ignore everything that is happening around us.
I can’t emphasise this enough: be kind to others, gift a smile when you can, respect and include like-minded people as much as those who you don’t agree with.
See you soon,
Lukas
