Headline: Meet Larissa Giles: Your Compassionate Guide to Holistic Wellness
A Unique Blend of Expertise for Your Whole Being
My professional training is diverse, allowing me to offer a truly integrated and comprehensive approach to your care:
- Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT): My foundation in massage therapy provides the skilled, therapeutic touch essential for alleviating pain, releasing tension, and restoring physical balance.
- Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA): This crucial expertise deepens my practice immeasurably. My understanding of kinesiology, biomechanics, anatomy, and rehabilitation principles allows me to approach bodywork with a more targeted and effective lens. This means we’re not just addressing symptoms, but working towards lasting functional improvement and helping you understand your body better.
- Certified Holistic Health and Wellness Coach: As your coach, I partner with you to navigate lifestyle changes, manage stress effectively, and achieve your personal wellness goals. This is where we tie everything together, creating sustainable habits for your mind, body, and spirit.
Passions that Enrich and Inspire
Beyond my core certifications, my practice is continually enriched by my deep personal interest and ongoing exploration in several powerful healing modalities:
- The Enlightened Apothecary: Sharing the gentle yet potent wisdom of herbal remedies is a cornerstone of my practice.
- Sound Healing: I believe in the transformative power of sound and vibration to promote deep relaxation, balance energy, and support healing.
- Arts Integration: Incorporating creative expression as a therapeutic tool for self-discovery, emotional release, and connecting with your inner landscape is another area I’m passionate about.
- My holistic toolkit also includes experience with Reiki and Shamanic work, further broadening the avenues for healing and connection we can explore together.
My Approach: Empowering You on Your Path
At Enlightened, you’ll find a supportive, non-judgmental, and “relaxed” environment. My approach is to:
- Listen Deeply: To truly understand your needs, concerns, and aspirations.
- Empower You: To help you tap into your own strengths, intuition, and motivations.
- Provide Practical Tools: To offer actionable strategies and accessible knowledge you can use in your daily life.
- Offer Compassionate Support & Accountability: To be your partner and guide as you transform your intentions into lasting positive changes.
I am motivated to stand out and serve our Warren/Youngstown community by offering care that is not only effective but also genuinely compassionate and tailored to the whole person.
