You don't have to be an athlete to enjoy the benefits of a good workout tailored to your needs... At least this is proven by the real stories of thousands of people - including many celebrities such as Charlize Theron, Bill Gates and George Soros - who trusted Life Coaching and saw a real difference in their lives. Life Coaching (literally translated as "life coaching") is aimed at all people, regardless of age, gender, marital status, educational level or professional orientation.

It is addressed to all those who feel they want to improve one or more areas of their lives, discovering and utilizing their true strengths. And it can be particularly useful for those who need a proper guidance to "unblock", to mobilize, to believe in themselves again, in other words, to realize their dreams. The science of Life Coaching, which began in the 80s in America, borrows elements from psychology, sociology, career guidance and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), combining them into an effective and flexible practice.

At OLONION WELLNESS CLUB we place great emphasis on the methodology of neuro-linguistic programming (more widely known as Neuro-Linguistic Programming or NLP for short) which studies the interaction of language and the nervous system in receiving and processing messages from the external environment.

Neuro-linguistic programming More specifically, NLP examines the "programming" through which the mind receives the messages of language and transfers them to the nervous system, and vice versa. So by recognizing it, we can make small interventions at points to use language to achieve our goals.

Of course, this presupposes that we distinguish the real goals from the "musts" that have been established as "wants" in our minds (from family, school, religion, society...) while they do not go along with our essential, inherent desires. Because many times (if not most) we try to achieve things to please or impress others, while they mean nothing or even contradict ourselves. Utilizing the NLP methodology, life coaching helps in the organized and systematic determination of each person's personal goals and by extension in their achievement, with a huge advantage: immediate results.

The benefits of Life Coaching

Life Coaching helps you realize the small, realistic dreams that seem like a "mountain" to you. For example, it can help you take the big step…

* Improve your relationship with your friends, partner, family, children

* Lose the extra pounds that torment you (if you really need to lose them)

* Quit harmful habits like smoking and embrace a healthier lifestyle

* Open new career horizons or pursue the career you always wanted

* Increase your confidence

* Reduce stress and the negative effects of stress in your life

* Get out of dead ends and see new alternatives

* Focus on your goals and achieve them or…

* Get rid of "false" goals and recognize your real desires, then seek to satisfy them

* Overcome the fears that trap you in unwanted situations

* Discover what your true strengths are and put them into practice

* To take the big step between the today that does not satisfy you and the tomorrow that you dream of.

Personal discovery and action. This is Life Coaching, and its results are felt after just a few sessions with your personal "coach".

Counseling is a method that helps people discuss and think about their personal issues in order to gain relief, gain greater understanding, and find some way out of the difficulties that plague them.

It is a confidential process between the counselor and the people who turn to him, the main feature of which is discussion. It started as the human need to offer help to those around us who needed it. It evolved into a specialization of the Science of Psychology to be more effective and beneficial for humans at an individual, family or social level.

Although the verb "advise" means to ask someone to give me an advice, i.e. to tell me what I should do to solve a specific problem of mine (e.g. legal, or financial), the Science of Counseling does not do this, but it is mainly oriented to how it will facilitate the person to better understand what is happening to him, to encourage him to set his personal goals and to find the same way out of his personal difficulties. Therefore, counseling does not create dependent people, but helps them by showing them how to become independent, self-reliant, acquire problem-solving skills, and develop to their full potential so that they can live what they consider to be a more fulfilling and multifaceted life. life, personally, but also as members of a wider society.

Reiki is a Japanese healing art that by simple physical touch of the hands on various points on the body, transmits pure vital cosmic energy so that the body vibrates slowly with the time that corresponds to each one in higher vibrational energy levels. When the body begins to vibrate at higher levels it recognizes its balance and thus we can have physical and mental health.

It is an ancient energy art rediscovered for Westerners by Mikao Usui. It can be applied to all people by all people. One who wishes to tune in and become a reiki channel needs to have good will, interest and a positive attitude towards life

Deep Tissue Massage uses intense pressure on all deep muscle groups, with fingers, fists, forearms or even elbows.

Trigger Point Therapy

These painful points of the muscles are known as trigger points (muscular pain trigger points) as a characteristic of these points is the "firing" or "pain reflection", in specific areas of the body for each one, as long as they are pressed and it is gradually realized that the pain can also be due to micro-injuries in the skeletal muscle fibers, as a result of which some of them contract, "harden", "shorten" and lose their elasticity, causing pain to the patient.

It can relieve the patient in cases where other types of treatment have not been effective or in cases where the justification of a pain is not clear, as may happen in various problems, e.g. headaches, back pain, sciatica, shoulder periarthritis, tendinopathy, limited mobility, neck pain, "frozen" shoulder (stiffness of the shoulder and scapula).

Treating trigger points is now relatively easy and very often patients report very dramatic improvement even after just a few sessions

Thai Massage

It is an integral part of Traditional Thai Medicine, which constitutes an autonomous therapeutic system. It features stretches and pressures and is like doing passive yoga. Its aim is elasticity, stimulation, or relaxation of the body, and expansion of the mind.

Thai massage, like acupuncture, when done skillfully, can relieve many types of chronic conditions and pain. Thai Massage is always practiced on the floor and the recipient should wear light clothing. The practitioner uses his thumbs, palms, elbows, knees and soles to perform the techniques.

The technique includes stretches that balance the entire muscular system. These stretches have similarities with yogic asanas. It is suitable for treating musculoskeletal and psychosomatic problems (such as irritable bowel syndrome, asthma, primary dysmenorrhea, etc.). It also includes massages and pressures on the Thai meridians (Sen). These pressures purify and unblock the body's delicate electrochemical system.

Thai Herbal Packs Massage

Massage technique widely used in Thailand and applied with herbal pads. Patches consist of a combination of healing herbs, which are placed in a cloth pouch. These pouches are steamed and placed directly on the skin, using a special technique.

Naturopathy uses all "alternative" methods that recognize the holistic structure of the human being and focuses on the body's ability to heal itself. Thus, it mainly aims to restore and strengthen the individual's self-healing system.

To achieve this, he uses the healing methods of nature, with the therapist in the role of "educator" who teaches the patient to deal with his health problems on his own. It places great importance on prevention, cultivating lifestyles that promote health so that disease does not occur, and thus the need to fight it. It also treats each patient as a separate case and examines all the systems of the body in combination and not individually.

The benefits of naturopathy

Through naturopathy we come into contact with various alternative therapeutic methods (homeopathy, acupuncture, etc.) and enjoy their combined advantage, while the results concern the whole of our physical and mental health.

Reflexology is a natural, alternative, holistic method without drugs, based on the existence of reflex points on the soles of the feet. These reflex points correspond to organs, glands or areas of the body, and when pressed or massaged appropriately they have a therapeutic effect on the points/organs they represent.

By properly influencing the 7,200 nerve endings that have been identified so far in the soles, we can influence the endocrine, musculoskeletal and all other systems of the body, revitalizing its natural functions and treating any pain symptoms. The beneficial actions of Reflexology have been known to mankind for over 4 millennia, but their dissemination and application in the Western world took place during the last century, after 1920. European countries such as Denmark, Great Britain and recently Greece have officially Reflexology in their hospital institutions.

But as pointed out by the relevant resolutions of the European Commission, Reflexology is a complementary treatment, which is combined with any medical treatment but cannot replace it. Therefore, it should not be treated as a direct treatment in case of illness, but it facilitates the healing of diseases and helps to prevent them.

The benefits of Reflexology

Reflexology aims to restore the balance of the body as a whole, which in turn contributes to the physical, spiritual and mental well-being of the individual. More specifically, it helps:

* reducing tension (stress), leading to deep relaxation of the body

* in better blood circulation, which implies more effective elimination of toxins

* in improving the functioning of the nervous system, reducing the pressure exerted on the nerves and vessels

* to increase biological resistance and mental performance, since it reduces stress and allows the person to make better use of his strengths

* in the shielding of the defense system which contributes to the prevention of diseases but also to faster recovery from them.

The most common health problems that are effectively treated with Reflexology are the following:

Musculoskeletal problems (neck, arthritis and periarthritis of the limbs, knee diseases, back pain - lumbago, back pain - sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, etc.)

* Otorhinolaryngological problems (shortness of breath, sinusitis, runny nose)

* Allergies (allergic rhinitis)

* Hormonal problems (eg thyroid, low metabolism)

* Problems of the digestive system (constipation, colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, dyspepsia, gastroesophageal reflux, hemorrhoids, spastic colitis)

* Gynecological problems (period pains, irregular cycle, PMS syndrome).

* Sleep problems

* The treatment is usually completed within 12 sessions.

It should be noted that when the body receives Reflexology treatment for the first time, it may show symptoms of side effects - what we call a "therapeutic reaction". It is a normal reaction of the body to the changes brought about in the various organs, and it is even legitimate, since it is interpreted as a positive response of the treated person to the method.

Ayurveda is a traditional system of medicine that originated in India 6,000 years ago. Its philosophy is contained in its very name: the word Ayurveda is derived from the composite words "ayus" (meaning life, vital force, health) and "veda" (comprehensive knowledge, science). In other words, it is "The Knowledge of Life".

Ayurveda deals not only with human nature, but with creation and the universe as a whole. It treats man as a whole and his health as a composite of many parameters, such as diet, environment, lifestyle, way of thinking, heredity.

According to Ayurveda, man has three "levels of existence": physical, mental and spiritual. When these cooperate well with each other and are in harmony with their environment, then the person is healthy. That's why Ayurveda devotes a large part of it to how a person will NOT get sick, trying to fully harmonize these three levels with simple daily practices – that is, it works to a large extent as preventive medicine.

The benefits of Ayurveda

First, following the principles of Ayurveda, we point out which of the 3 Ayurvedic types each person belongs to. This distinction allows us to know in advance his "weak points", the diseases to which he is prone, his possible reactions to diet, external stimuli, climate and living conditions.

This way we can suggest ways and daily habits that contribute to his healthy living and longevity, as well as to his better mental and mental health.

For more immediate results, especially when there is a specific request such as increased tension or headaches, Ayurvedic massages are recommended. This is a traditional therapeutic massage that particularly helps:

* the circulatory system

* the balancing of body and spirit

* the achievement of relaxation and by extension rejuvenation and well-being

Ayurvedic massage sessions last one hour.

Electroacupuncture without needles is based on the principles of classical acupuncture, the traditional Chinese healing method that has been practiced for many centuries. According to the theory of this method, in the body there are 12 energy meridians and 365 basic reflex points which connect the organs of the human body to each other and to the external environment.

By influencing the meridians and reflex points with knowledge we can contribute to balancing the energy state of the body so that all the organs work in harmony both internally and in relation to the environment.

The method of Electroacupuncture was discovered in the 60s in Russia, by bioenergetic researchers such as Charles Waldemar. They noticed that when an illness occurs in the body, there is a decrease in electricity in our body that can even drop to zero in the focus of the problem. By transmitting current of low voltage and frequency of 10 HZ to the appropriate points we can restore the balance of electrical energy within the body.

The difference between Electroacupuncture and classical acupuncture is that the treatment does not involve the insertion of needles into the body. The stimulation of the acupuncture points is carried out by placing special needles, through which the very low voltage current is channeled into the body.

The benefits of Electroacupuncture

Electroacupuncture has proven to be an effective method for treating a number of problems, such as:

Musculoskeletal problems (back pain, sciatica, cervical syndrome, osteoporosis, hemiplegia, fracture porosity, knee pain, ankle injuries, arthritic)

Addiction to substances such as cigarettes, alcohol, food (bulimia), etc.

* Migraines and headaches

* Gynecological problems

* Gastritis and digestive disorders

Because endorphins (a class of hormones with analgesic properties) are released during Electro-acupuncture, it is often used pre-operatively or post-operatively as an analgesic agent and also as a method for dealing with chronic pain.

The results of Electroacupuncture are noticeable immediately after each session, from the very first time. A typical treatment takes 10-12 sessions to complete.

Homeopathy is a method of alternative medicine that has as its central principle the "law of similars", that is, "similars are treated with similars". According to the "father" of Homeopathy, Samuel Hahnemann, a chronic disease can be cured if the patient is given that substance that would cause the exact same disease in a healthy organism. It is a particularly widespread method of treatment in Europe, Asia and America. In fact, in many countries belonging to the above continents, Homeopathy has joined and been fully integrated into the national health system. The benefits of Homeopathy

Homeopathic medicine can practically help with all kinds of problems, from pathological, pediatric, dermatological and gynecological to neurological and psychiatric.

Homeopathy has proven to be particularly effective in the treatment of the following:

Chronic headaches, vertigo, labyrinth problems

Musculoskeletal problems (neck, rheumatism, myalgias, muscle and tendon injuries from accidents, back pain - sciatica, internal problems, hernia, etc.)

* Otorhinolaryngological problems (otitis)

* Allergies (allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma)

* Dermatological problems (acne, dermatitis, cold sores or genital herpes)

Problems of the digestive system (gastrointestinal disorders, gastritis, duodenal ulcer, spastic colitis, ulcerative colitis, cholecystitis, gastroesophageal reflux, constipation)

Gynecological problems (vaginitis, polycystic ovaries, mastitis, dysmenorrhea, cystitis, endometriosis, infertility). Psychosomatic problems (phobic neuroses, panic attacks).

Holistic Nutrition counseling treats the person and their nutritional issues as a whole. Its philosophy is based on food and the beneficial properties of its ingredients, applying the well-known saying of Hippocrates "Your medicine is your food and your food is your medicine".

This is how he treats food as "medicine", which with the right ratio, the right combination and the right preparation can offer the body the maximum utilization of its potential.

The benefits of Holistic Nutrition

By putting into practice the advice of Holistic Nutrition, we can achieve:

* protection from diseases of the digestive system

* strengthening the defense system

* improvement of physical condition

* weight control

* well-being and psychosomatic balance.

Kinesiotherapy is a method of physical therapy that treats problems of the muscles, joints and nervous system which in turn cause disturbances in physical movement. It is a method of mild physical exercise, for any age, that can bring results in a wide range of chronic diseases and injuries.

Through a combination of active (assisted exercises, suspended exercises, resistance exercises, strengthening exercises with weights, etc.) and passive exercises (range of motion exercises, stretching, kinesiology massages, etc.), coordination and balance exercises, relaxation techniques and mobilization, gives the patient the possibility of "self-healing" without taking drugs.

Programs are designed specifically for each individual's needs so as to minimize the potential for aggravation or injury.

The benefits of Kinesiotherapy

In general, Kinesiology proves to be beneficial for people who often suffer from neck / lower back pain, for people who due to work adopt a wrong body posture (e.g. computer workers), for the elderly with arthritis or osteoporosis and also for athletes - dancers .

Physiotherapy effectively helps:

* To increase muscle strength

* In the loss of bone mass leading to osteoporosis

* In increasing joint mobility

* In better neuromuscular function

* To reduce blood pressure in hypertensives

* To reduce blood sugar in diabetics

* In the best functioning of the heart and lungs

* To improve metabolism
