I’m wondering whether those who help individuals with vague, non-specific complaints are actively healing them or simply guiding them towards self-healing. Even in cases of a broken bone, healers don’t introduce new bone cells; they stabilize the bone by casting it, sometimes even operating and using screws and bolts, but the body itself handles the actual bone growth. When administering herbal medicine, we intervene in the body, yet the question arises: is the body healing itself, or is it the medicine doing it?
And thus I wonder, do we categorize ourselves as healers, or are we more aptly described as healing coaches?
At Healing Grounds, my vision is for people to sense empowerment. It’s not about laying out problems and expecting healers to magically solve them. Instead, individuals should feel empowered to take charge of their healing journey, with everyone at Healing Grounds there to support and facilitate this self-healing process.
