Shambhala Wellness Denton Texas

Peace Tranquility Happiness!

By Evelyn Harman

Welcome to Hollywood! Do you have a dream? Everybody in Hollywood has dream! Remember those words from the movie Pretty Woman? Well, you don’t have to be in Hollywood to have a dream you can be in Denton, Texas! One such woman that I’ve known for many years has turned her dream of a wellness center into a reality. Come along with me as I introduce you to this woman whose passion for healing and coaching others to become the masters of their destiny and wellness for both mental and physical, has created Shambhala Wellness located at 215 E University Drive in Denton, Texas across from the Texas Women’s University. Shambhala Wellness is a place of peace, tranquility, & happiness!

 

Johanna Oosterwijk comes from the Netherlands with a nursing degree and an extensive background as a healthcare professional. After moving to the United States with her family, she learned that she had Thyroid cancer. The thyroid gland is an organ at the base of the throat that makes hormones that help control heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, and weight. Johanna followed all the medical treatments that the doctors advised, but she believed there was more to be learned about the body that could help her and many others.

 

Thus began her career and life journey into the alternative healing approach. She became certified as a Clinical Hypnotherapist, HypnoCoach, Reiki Master, Quantum Biofeedback Therapist and Naturopathic Doctor (ND). Naturopathy is an alternative system that focuses on natural remedies and the body's ultimate ability to heal and maintain itself. Naturopathic philosophy favors a holistic approach which is a concept in medical practice upholding that all aspects of people's needs, psychological, physical and social should be taken into account and seen as a whole.

 

When we recognized and acknowledge that we can actively participate and create our own wellness with the assistance of trained practioneers such as Johanna and the others that are at Shambhala Wellness then we can lead the balanced and productive lives we desire. Johanna published the essence of her degree thesis as a booklet titled: Longevity, Way’s to Prolong Life.

 

Do you want to have a better life in all areas? How balanced are you in your Wheel of Life? Are you able to identify and describe what the eight sections of the Wheel of Life are? And are you interested in living a life of satisfaction with each section being a 10! What is your BIG DREAM? What is your VISION? Can you articulate your MISSION? What stands between you and your BIG DREAM? What is your PASSION? Do you have the courage to be the change you want to see in the world? Do you care enough about yourself to those you love to be the best you can be? If you seek and desire the answers to these questions I invite you to visit, call or e-mail Johanna to see where you can start uncovering and discovering your true essence!
