The Greatest Wealth is Health


Primrose Healing and Wellness takes a uniquely holistic approach to therapy, healing, and wellness. When designing each individual’s transformative path to wellness, we consider the whole person. Instead of utilizing psychotherapy in the more traditional fashion, holistic therapy includes all elements of health and looks at the mind-body connection and more! Human beings are complex and multifaceted. That said, we need an approach to wellness that takes this into consideration. 


The Methods that Primrose Offers, Psychotherapy, Mindfulness, Meditation, Yoga, Nutritional Consulting, Polarity Therapy, and Psychoeducational workshops are all interconnected, complementary, and help each person to find their individualized path to a new state of mental, spiritual, and physical health! 


Health is defined, by the World Health Organization, as a state of complete physical, mental, and social wellbeing, not merely the absence of disease. The National Wellness Institute describes wellness as an approach to life that considers multidimensional aspects of wellness. It encourages individuals to recognize the whole person: Physical, Mental, Emotional, Social, Intellectual, Financial, Occupational, Spiritual and Environmental. 




Here are three reasons why someone might consider holistic therapy: 


1. Improves overall health. 

Adding restorative practices such as yoga into wellness routines simultaneously transforms mind and body. Yoga involves a meditative focus on breath and a calming mental focus on movement of the body. Studies have shown that a regular yoga practice can increase happiness, improve focus and information retention and reduce stress! The physical aspect of yoga leads to increased flexibility and strength and can enhance the quality of sleep.


2. Helps craft a balanced life. 

Creating a routine that includes varying activities to improve mental, physical, and spiritual health will help encourage a balanced and wholesome lifestyle. For example, when solely utilizing talk therapy to address a condition like stress or anxiety, the incredible benefits of a healthy diet, regular exercise, and spiritual support may not be prioritized. But a true wellness routine will include a big-picture approach to pursuing a healthy and thriving life. 


3. Changes the root cause of challenges. 

By looking at intersecting aspects across a person’s life, one can understand how best to address the root causes of challenges faced. Rather than treat the symptoms, we can address challenges head-on and through a dynamic range of methods. When attended to with the positive and affirming methods of holistic therapy, the opportunity for powerful change is in the hands of all who are willing to take it. 


In addition to dealing with specific wellness issues, holistic treatment is preventative. When we find ways to prevent health issues, why would we not bring this into our lives? 



I want to share with you my own journey into one type of holistic wellness: Polarity Therapy. As a holistic practitioner, I was already convinced of the benefits of working with the whole person. I had very specific evidence that the holistic approach to psychotherapy worked with my clients struggling with eating disorders. I knew there that the holistic approach was working, where other modalities had failed clients. I thought, why am I only doing this with one population. Everyone could benefit from this holistic approach, and I decided to move entirely into a holistic format for everyone.

In the early days of Primrose, we had such an incredible team. We had psychotherapists, a massage therapist, and a Reiki Practitioner. I was so honored to see the support of clients as they felt better and were offered a comprehensive treatment program that they could not find anywhere else.

Covid became a part of our lives, and things needed to be modified. Primrose went virtual with psychotherapy, nutritional counseling, yoga, mindfulness, and meditations. It worked very well, and we even had clients enrolled in our 30-day intensive program. Visit primroseintensive.com

Teletherapy became the norm, and it worked well with our clients. As we gradually began to reopen, we integrated Polarity Therapy into our Practice. Polarity Therapy is a holistic approach to healing that helps the body balance itself, removing energy blocks that can get in the way of optimal physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.



Polarity therapy uses a number of touch skills that help the body to relax, release tension, anxiety. The touch skills can range from an exceptionally soft touch to more rigorous or deep work, depending on the needs of the client. Balancing the energy in the body can help the body restore health and manage pain.

Polarity Therapy can help clients discover what they want on their wellness journey. In the process of self-discovery and awareness, clients can work on a number of emotional issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction.

Polarity therapy is one of the holistic treatment modalities used at Primrose. It can be an excellent adjunct to psychotherapy or can be used as a therapy all on its own.

Some of the reasons someone may choose to try Polarity Therapy is that it can be helpful in the treatment of:
  • Chronic Pain
  • Addiction
  • Trauma
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Physical Illness
  • Emotional Distress
  • Acute and Chronic Stress Disorders
And many other conditions

The road to health and wellness is complicated. There are many options that people have today when it comes to healing and preventions. Holistic care is about Mind, Body, and spirit. It is an approach that makes perfect sense to me as we as human beings are not just our bodies or our minds. We are a combination of many things that make up a whole.

Find the Calm in Calamity

Are there days in which you sit in the calm ealry hours enjoying the peace and stillness sipping a cup of coffee? Do you talk to God in that time? Do you hear the words that pop into your mind or heart? Do you put those words from pen to paper? Or do you let the words be forgotten and fly away with another thought? Do you hear those words as a message, a thought, a purpose, your mission, a whisper from God? Or do you simply ignore them and not give those words another thought? I myself, hear them, write them, feel them and seek then when I get these little "divine downloads". Last month, in the still of the morning, while taking in the sunrise doing my daily readings and pondering LENT, a few words were whispered to me. "Find the CALM in CALAMITY." So I grabbed a pencil and my journal and sribbled the words down. What do these words mean? I started to ask "Well, how does one find CALM in CALAMITY?". I decided to literally take CALM out and looked ...

Life is Short, Lick the Spoon and Laugh...a Lot!

Christmas is almost here! I’m so excited! I absolutely love Christmas and everything about it. I do admit it comes with some stress like gift buying, wrapping, cooking, decorating, bills, work, parties...goodness, I stressed myself out just writing all that! This year I am having a stress-free Christmas. Y’all know I’m on a health and fitness journey and that is stressful enough without adding in the holidays. I have a spoon rest in the kitchen given to me by future daughter in law that says “Life is short, Lick the Spoon.” I’m going to live that this year. I’m not even going to pretend to eat healthy this week. I am going to unashamedly enjoy every single bite of holiday spirit I can shove in my mouth. It’s okay to do that, next week I’ll crawl out of my carb coma and get back to business. My mom is making my most favorite cake of all time: homemade red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting . I absolute refuse to eat red velvet cake from any shop, store and heaven forbid, a mix...

Combatting Cancer through Fitness

My name is Rori, and I currently live in New York with my amazing husband and 2 Frenchie furbabies. I'm 34 years old, an avid athlete pursuing a Personal Training certification, and I am currently battling Triple Negative Breast Cancer. The mental game is just as important, if not more important than the physical, when it comes to cancer. Being able to stay active during treatment is just 1 component of how I've been able to put up a good fight against this disease. I believe that everything happens for a reason, & getting diagnosed with cancer showed me what I was meant to do in life: help other women fight their toughest battles. Every woman undergoing a Breast Cancer battle will face challenges on how they feel about their body. Utilizing a mantra I began saying to myself helps remind me that my body has gone through hell and back: "Fake, Fit & Fabulous." Every woman should feel inspired & accomplished by what their body has been through. Be proud of yo...
