This extract from the Joshi Clinic website explains the philosophy of the practice:

The Joshi Clinic was founded by Nish Joshi in 2002. A graduate from the British School of Osteopathy, with a foundation in conventional medicine, he continued his education in Holistic Healthcare, Nutrition, Herbal and Ayurvedic Medicine, Metabolic Detox and Acupuncture. As a result he is able to treat most of today’s medical conditions without the side-effects of modern medicine.

Joshi has developed a unique approach in his practice embracing centuries-old Indian traditions, ancient Ayurvedic wisdom, and a wide variety of other healing philosophies from all over the world. It is a combination of both Eastern and Western approaches to ‘orthodox’ medicine. Accompanying him are the clinic’s in-house team of leading practitioners, who help to drive this philosophy forward.

At the Joshi Clinic we have built a world-wide reputation for offering exceptional care and expertise, in a relaxed, welcoming and discreet environment. We are proud to be the eminent choice of many of the world’s top professionals in the artistic / creative, sporting and business arenas.

Our relationship with each one of our patients is driven by an ongoing commitment to bringing them a positive experience on their journey to health. The Joshi Clinic is not just about treating the ailment or condition you have when you first walk through the door, we focus on prevention rather than cure.

Whatever your goal, the clinic offers everything you may need under one roof, from a comprehensive prescription service to treatments and advice. Our aim is to help you to rediscover your health.

For your well being, we specialise in holisitc detox, osteopathy, colonic hydrotherapy, nutritional and dietary support, massage, endermologie, accupuncture, allergies and personal training.

Whilst the NHS is not currently paying for these services it welcomes the input of Angie Buxton-King and her team, who are currently funded by The Sam Buxton Healing Trust.

Patients and medical professionals alike have benefitted from the involvement of the healing team and this shows a wonderful move towards an integral model of medicine where the patient benefits from many different lines of intelligence and expertise.

The following is a reproduction of an article that appears on the Mesothelioma Resource Online website:

In medicine’s progressive transition from treating just the body to addressing other human dynamics, such as spiritual well being, there has been much needed attention to practices such as the Japanese therapy, Reiki. Culturally, Reiki is believed to serve the human spirit through its traditional methods of treatment.

Reiki has been attributed to increasing levels of subjective as well as objective results in cancer patients that received the treatment such as increased happiness, stress reduction, reduced muscle fatigue, and more. As a part of holistic medicine, Reiki cannot combat cancer alone, however. It is best applied as a means of coping with the rigors of chemotherapy, cancer-related surgeries, and radiation.

Benefits of Reiki

As it is still foreign to many westerners, the mechanics and benefits of a Reiki session are lost on most cancer patients. Essentially, Reiki provides the total relief of body, mind and soul for patients suffering from serious and life-threatening illnesses like mesothelioma. This traditional healing art, performed properly by a licensed Reiki master, targets negative thoughts and feelings including anger, depression, fear, excessive worry or anxiety, which allow for the formation of damaging or toxic relationships that lead to a higher incidence of illnesses and delayed recovery.

The Procedure

Unlike other therapies that address imbalances in one’s life force, Reiki uses no instruments in its actual practice. In Reiki, the hands of the Reiki practitioner act as the intermediary that delivers the healing spiritual energy. Once this energy is transferred to the patient, proponents claim the pathways for the life force are opened, realigned, and enlivened. Because Reiki uses extremely delicate, non-intrusive contact with areas of the patient’s imbalance, it is less forceful and more specific than other therapies, also presenting virtually no adverse side effects.

Mesothelioma and Reiki

Some mesothelioma cancer patients hail Reiki treatment as a considerable opponent against the looming threat of cancer. They report holistic improvements of happiness, spirituality and decreased levels of pain. Patients also reported that the unfortunate side effects that accompany conventional cancer treatments, such as vomiting and nausea, also subsided greatly. Scientifically, there is no correlation that Reiki directly addresses cancer, but thousands of patients will attest to how it handles symptoms created by cancer treatments.

Proponents of this therapy claim Reiki is safe, natural, and effective, even claiming it is a successful treatment alone or in conjunction with other procedures. However, based on the lack of supporting evidence, it remains unlikely that Reiki can defeat cancer as a standalone treatment. In the endeavor to defeat mesothelioma cancer, nothing is more valuable than professional advice and treatments that have been tested and recommended by these professionals.

Whilst the rewards are undoubtedly worthwhile, the process of releasing an aspect of our identity may bring up considerable personal and emotional disturbance.  Relationships can be tested, financial stability may be compromised or diminished.  We need to learn how to remain stable and strong without relying upon an old crutch.

‘Leap and the net will appear!’

So often we think it best to wait until all the  factors are lined up perfectly before we make our leap.  Certainly planning is necessary, yet we must also have faith that when we commit to our passions, that the universe will respond and support us.  After all, when we manifest with our hearts, we are more powerful, strong and abundant.

If you are looking for a coach to help lead you through your own career change I would be very happy to work with you to facilitate the transition.
