Years of study, finally on the wall. And it’s going up now for a reason.

Something has been quietly taking shape. I’m not ready to say what just yet.

Soon.

Unlocking the Power of Massage: Healing Faster and Stronger

Did you know that massage can do more than just ease muscle soreness? Recent research from Harvard’s Wyss Institute and SEAS shows that mechanotherapy, a form of mechanical stimulation, can significantly improve healing after severe injury. By applying controlled pressure to muscles, we can help clear immune cells and inflammation, promoting rapid muscle regeneration.

I incorporate these findings into my injury prevention and rehabilitation treatments. Your well-being matters, and I'm here to make sure your journey to vitality is backed by the latest science. Discover the healing power of mechanotherapy with me!

The new clinic space.

01/10/2023

Dear Community,

It's been quite some time since I last penned an update, but this rainy weekend in Auckland feels like the perfect moment to reconnect.

After two years of changes, from multiple clinic moves to being mobile, my clinic has finally found a home in Birkenhead. Inspired by my ongoing medical studies (only two more years to go!), it has transformed to mirror the evolution of my healthcare services into a more specialised, therapeutic approach, something I've always held close to my heart.

Book in or stay tuned to explore the new space and the specialised services. I'm thrilled to share that photobiomodulation is now a complimentary addition at my clinic, a gift from me to you. Please note that my nutrition services will soon be exclusively available through transformative programs I'll be launching shortly.

I can't wait to welcome you back!

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

Take a screenshot 📸 and get yourself into the kitchen. Here in New Zealand we are in lockdown again and we have a lot of spare time on our hands, don’t we? So stop looking for excuses and boost your immunity. Prepare these breakfast pods so if you are busy you just pull it out of the cupboard and eat it as a warm porridge or a smoothie to go.
⊚
I came up with this recipe idea because A I live a plant-based lifestyle and B my life is way too busy. Solution?

It has been quite some time since my last update and I would like to take some time to share with you a few updates about myself and my clinic. 🙏🏼
⊚
I completed the first three weeks of university and I must admit, studying Chinese medicine is overwhelming – more than I expected. What I have learned so far about the world’s oldest medical system is that ancient Chinese physicians not only observed the human body, but also its environment. It is the most holistic approach I found when searching for a medical system that treats the root cause and not only the symptoms of a disease.
⊚
In Chinese medicine, we observe nature and apply it to the human body. For example, we learn how the water flows and disappears during drought, the mountains form and remodel with time, plants start and end their lifecycle. We are connected to nature more than we would like to believe. Our human body is a self-sustainable biological machine that relies on nature to survive. I believe that this principle is often forgotten in Western medicine and I’ve found this element to be considered at all times in Chinese medicine.
⊚
Do you want me to write about Chinese medicine on my website? I would love to share what I learn along the way. 😊
