Consultation – Clinica Holistica also offers consultation only services minus the treatment for people who are inquisitive about a service or looking for a solution without actually undergoing therapy. It is ideal for people seeking nutritional advice, Ayurvedic medicine prescriptions, lifestyle consultation or guidance in chalking out an exercise plan. It is more suitable for people for people with a chronic condition who want to complement their medical treatment with alternate therapies or those who’ve unsuccessfully tried alternate therapies in the past and are looking more for some relief than an actual remedy. A consultation-only service gives the patient an opportunity to meet the practitioner and see the clinic before making up their mind about the healing therapies.

This s energy is often referred to as Qi (chee) and the paths of Qi correspond with the body’s internal organs and structures. Each acupuncture point is known to possess special correlations and actions.
Reiki – Clinica Holistica also offers Reiki services, which is an ancient method of healing that comes from Japan. Reiki is simply transfer of energy from the healer to the patient. The therapist acts as a source for transmitting this energy which surrounds every living being. People refer to it using various terms, some like to call it a universal energy, while others refer to it as light of emotions. A Reiki session at Clinica Holistica lasts for 90 minutes and is known to be extremely serene, relaxing and enjoyable.
Vibrational Medicine – This is a relatively new branch of alternate medicine offered by Clinica Holistica. Vibrational medicine refers to the principle of “like attracts like” It is about matching frequency, while attuning to one another and vibrating at a similar frequency.
