Giovanna from Heal Your Life Therapies can help you find out how your body can guide you towards optimal health!
Have you ever asked what causes your sore back or migranes or what it means? This is based on an holistic approach and the studies of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
We never listen to illness and pain until our body says "STOP!" Each organ is linked to a particular emotional and energetic process that, if discovered, can help us to heal. The information is based on a holistic approach and Giovanna’s study of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
