A New Golden Age for Medical Herbalism
AMH18038
A New Golden Age for Medical Herbalism medicine clinic in Singapore. Last year, SLC was recognised in Global Health & Pharma out more about the company’s ethos, culture and imminent future. The alternative medicine sector has flourished on the back of a renewed interest in the greater health and wellness sphere over the last couple of years. People are now actively seeking out healthier, more sustainable, natural alternatives to pharmaceuticals, following in the footsteps of their ancestors hundreds of years ago. Herbal remedies, perhaps too easily dismissed as ‘old wives tales’ are now thoroughly in vogue, their effectiveness reinforced by scientific research. Unlike its popular Chinese variant, Sebastian’s unique take on medical herbalism finds its origins in Classical Europe, through the work of noted
physicians Hippocrates, Galen and Pedanius Dioscorides – an ancient sort of wisdom. Sebastian takes a moment to offer more insight into his work. “My work involves clinical consultations for clients and patients who want to seek alternative treatment or solutions for their health conditions. They are usually mature adults and young families who believe in the natural approach to health and treatment of a variety of diseases – autoimmune, allergies, skin diseases such as eczema and hives, fatigue, heart diseases, hormonal issues, depression and anxiety, to name a few. To this day, Sebastian Liew Centre remains a bastion of medical herbalism, and one of the few centres in Asia
who advocate for a European approach. “My practice is one of a kind in Singapore. Many people in the region are still ignorant of phytomedicine, though many are familiar with traditional Chinese medicine. I try my best to be a healing-centred medical herbalist, always putting my patients’ interests first, and profits second. I also enjoy sharing my experiences and knowledge via my blog, articles, talks and books, so people can have informed choices and an avenue for healthy, effective alternatives.” “I am known to dispense safe, high quality, pharmaceutical grade herbal medicine, health products and supplements, supported by personal coaching and a holistic approach. I am very much known in my circle to
always and constantly be looking for the highest quality products for my clients. I believe my circle of clients and followers also realise I am not a trend follower. I stand for what I believe and stand by what I don’t.” As we come to the close of the interview, Sebastian takes some time to talk about the future of his company. Most notably, 2019 heralds a new product range under the brand name, Leaf to Life, which aims to help others across Asia to benefit from Sebastian’s twenty years of experience in complementary health practices.

“We will have a completely new website and social media platform, with the aim to reach out to people across the Asia Pacific. The Leaf to Life brand has a special focus on wholistic aging™, a term I coined to mean a state of wholeness and functional ability in our physical body, mind, and soul. I hope to do more education through Leaf to Life all over Singapore and beyond so that more people will liver a better and healthful lives.”

Best Online Health & Wellness Coaching Training Coach 2019
Executive and Senior Management Committees A Wellness Revolution
to make, but through its leading wellness coaching it is helping to create future leaders in the industry that understand the importance of holism in healing. We spoke with Founder Cathleen Beerkens to find out more about her pursuit to create a new, wholly better paradigm in the healthcare and wellness industries.
Change is coming to the global health landscape. There’s a developing understanding that people are, at their heart and fundamentally, individuals with unique needs and requirements. More than that, there’s a realisation that health is more than just the body – more than the physical, measurable symptoms. It’s a complex interplay between the mind, spirit and general wellbeing, all feeding into the bigger picture of ‘you’. In a word, health is becoming more holistic and medicine, in turn, is moving to consider a whole host of variables that were, not that long ago, considered almost irrelevant. Cathleen Beerkens founded A Wellness Revolution with all of this in mind, recognising a need to guide health to a future that was defined by a greater understanding of everything
4 GHP
that influences wellbeing and wellness. Medically trained, Cathleen saw the problems first-hand that were born of a thoroughly cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all approach to generalised healthcare. Further, she realised, ultimately, that being completely and truly ‘well’ is a different thing to being merely physically healthy. In that, A Wellness Revolution remains driven in its goal of creating a new health paradigm, and a new generation of health leaders who are equipped to deliver real changes to the way people think about their own health. Whilst personalised medicine is gaining momentum on the back of developing technology – specifically when it comes to innovation in genetic sequencing- the symbiotic relationship between individual thought patterns, behaviours, mental state, eating habits
and so on are only just being understood and capitalised on. Much of the ground gained in this arena can be put at Cathleen’s feet, and her efforts to reinvent best practices in the industry through coaching. “I believe that coaching is the answer right now to help the medical profession make a necessary shift towards better, more effective care. We believe that when people understand the body, mind and spirit connection – the way we work as a whole – they start to change, and they start to heal on another level.” A Wellness Revolution trains individuals to become Certified Health and Wellness Coaches through their accredited and comprehensive courses. “The coaching course is accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF) and, upon completion of this course, one will earn 63 hours for ICF
Approved Coach Specific Training Hours (ACSTH)™”, Cathleen adds. It’s clear that Cathleen understands the importance of regulation and its role in ensuring that health and wellness coaching achieves the heights it so deserves. Expectations need to be established – and uniform – to allow for greater integration in the medical arena. “Guidelines need to be in place, and there needs to be regulation to ensure that everyone understands what health and wellness coaching can achieve, and how it can compliment traditional medicine.” Securing legitimacy in an industry which seems rigid and unyielding naturally remains a challenge, but it is one that Cathleen is confident can be overcome through education. “Current medical practitioners simply do not have the time to
do what Health and Wellness Coaches do. Health and Wellness Coaches look at every part of your life to see where ‘blockages’ could be. Where improvements can be made. One-on-one client/coach relationships are crucial in the process to create moments of selfreflection and epiphany. A medical practitioner doesn’t have that luxury of time in a hospital or clinic environment.” In a word, health and wellness coaching is more focused on the individual needs of the person: what they eat, their lifestyle, their thoughts, their behaviours – their lives. It seems almost obvious in hindsight: to think that these variables need to be considered to ensure a truly healthy and well person, but this is the prevailing challenge that Cathleen and her coaches face. To change a paradigm that has been established and reinforced for decades. “Coaching is about helping people to realise they have control of their lives. It’s about helping people to make different lifestyle changes that will help encourage a healthier life. It’s about nourishing spiritual wellbeing and reprogramming the subconscious. Sometimes coaches can help their clients on a deeper level by referring them for more integrative support to recommended practitioners, therapists or doctors.”.
“Health and Wellness are not about the destination they are about your daily journey of choices.” There can be no doubt that Cathleen’s work is fuelled by an incredible passion for wellness, and the unique benefits that coaching offers. “Over the six months it’s amazing to see our students really ‘wake up’. They want to be better, to eat better, to live better. We teach our students about digestion, and how our emotions guide us like a compass, guiding us in a certain direction. The course also teaches about the new sciences, particularly Epigenetics and Nutritional Glycobiology. These new sciences help the coaches understand the importance of how our cells work and how our cellular health is influenced by lifestyle choices and nutrition. “Despite being an online course, we do offer much of it live. We have speakers who are experts in their field who, in turn, can help our students gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the nature of holistic care. The course offers four hours of learning a week, with an additional two hours of homework. There are also tests, as we have to have tests to be a regulated course and for students to integrate the material
and bring a high standard of quality. These tests are oral, and many students say that these are the best part of the course,” Cathleen continues.
beings. As part of our ongoing development, we are planning a YouTube channel to help bring people more information about health and wellness.”
This course is a product of years of development, with new additions and updates being integrated frequently to ensure that all new coaches are trained to the highest standards. Ultimately, the aim throughout it all is to help people to achieve a more balanced life, with due consideration taken to the role of the body, mind and spirit.
“Health and Wellness Coaching is currently in its infancy, and we remain totally excited to be involved in the developments of this very important influence in the present-day medical system.” “A Wellness Revolution believes that health and wellness coaching is extremely powerful in helping people to adapt and evolve to become the best version of themselves. It is not just merely the absence of disease, it is also the concept of prevention and changing lifestyle habits that help people make the necessary changes to take more responsibility for their wellness,” Cathleen concludes.
Company Name All in all, it’s easy to see how current medical practices seem ill-equipped to tackle this movement away from simply administrating medicine to cure a physical symptom. Equally, whilst developments in healthcare are continuous, it is important to ensure that efforts are being made to expand beyond the increasingly dated practices of generations past.
Fitness & Nutrition As we come to the end of the interview, Cathleen talks for a moment on the more immediate future of A Wellness Revolution: “We are excited to be involved in this core mission to help people through lifestyle changes. We understand, at this time on the planet, the serious effects that stress, altered food and our toxic environment is having on all living
Change, after all, is not always a bad thing. Change leads to progress, to innovation, to growth, to development. A revolution is coming to the health landscape, and with it, a brighter future indeed.

Best Personal & Group Training Centre 2019 - Ottawa being challenged or pushed. On the other hand, it is not easy to break out of this habit, but the team 180 Fitness thinks it can transform your life and empower you to do something more. We caught up with Owner, Adrian Delorey to find out more about how transforms the lives of his clients. Since 2007, Adrian Delorey has offered something more than a gym to the residents of Ottowa. Through educating, empowering and enriching his clients, he and his “Team of Awesome” have rapidly expanded the business to create a complete transformation center. This is where clients are helped to make a change in their lives in the pursuit of enlightenment. To begin with, we asked Adrian what 180 Fitness offered to its clients that no other organisation does. “At 180 Fitness, we focus on weight loss, but our main goal is to assist clients achieve their true potential,” he explains. Offering a selection of bootcamps, of which no two are the same, along with personal training and group training, none of which have been repeated in the last twelve years, it seems Adrian and his team provide everything someone would need to improve their fitness. To this, Adrian credits the “incredible community and likeminded coaches – the gym nearly burnt down in October 2016 and clients only lost one day of training.” This amazingly high resilience to difficult circumstances suggests something a little deeper than a simple dedication to fitness. We asked Adrian how he and his team managed to keep going,
leading clients to enriching themselves no matter what. For him, it’s a case of mind over matter. “We all know what to do (give or take) when it comes to eating right and exercising, however we simply fail to do what we know due in large part to what is in between our ears,” explains Adrian. “This is why I’ve developed a mindset structure and system over the past nine years. I went so far as getting certified as a hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner to better assist my clients, helping them to let go of limiting beliefs and perceptions that might be holding them back.” Of course, it’s one thing to provide a service, and quite another to keep it flourishing as successfully as Adrian has. Adrian attributes the success of 180 Fitness to CANI: “Constant and neverending improvement,’ Adrian smiles. “We have our coaches stay up to date with the latest and greatest coaching techniques. Weekly team meetings. quarterly reviews and team get togethers with coaches and all clients – building the community.” The importance Adrian ascribes to the community (colloquially titled The Wolfpack) is infectious. His passion and drive to continue improving what 180 Fitness can offer seems almost limitless. Wanting to take advantage of the developing online landscape, he’s already planning for his

own podcast to share his views with a wider audience. Even so, “We want to create incredible experiences for our clients,” Adrian explains. “Ones they will never forget. Going on a surfing retreat or a hiking retreat would really bring our clients together and expand our own reach. We hope to run our first retreat by the end of 2020.” Now moving forward into an exciting new era of growth, Adrian and his Team of Awesome have a number of projects already in the pipeline for the years to come. With a strong client-base that continues to grow stronger, it’s no wonder that this gym offers something a

little more ambitious than regular fitness. Adrian credits his staff for creating and maintain an atmosphere, which focuses on achievement and transformation. “This is a collective of likeminded passionate individuals who give it their all day in and day out,” says Adrian finally. “That doesn’t go unnoticed and is felt throughout the community we have built together.” It’s the community that sets 180 Fitness apart and the reason behind the incredible success the team have had to date.

Whilst the app will have a diverse following once launched and can be used in a number of applications, it is particularly beneficial for a medical professional, or caregiver, as it allows them to create an exercise routine specifically tailored to their client and then share it with them. All the exercises are created as an individual file and can be played in any order, much like a music playlist. This makes it possible for a Physical Therapist to easily recommend a post treatment exercise regimen. It is also easy enough that an adult child could help an ailing parent get the exercise they need. Unique to the market, Ability Fix is one of the first specifically aquatic fitness apps, making it an ideal solution for anyone working on improving their fitness in water. With so many solutions on the market, being a pioneer is important as it helps the app to offer a truly innovative service that cannot be found elsewhere. Set to launch at the beginning of 2020, Ability Fix will be launching the app with 50 exercises and three Ai Chi routines. Moving forward, developers Paradise will enhance the app to include even more exercises and functions in line with user feedback and the prevailing trends in the fitness technology market to ensure its solution remains at the very cutting-edge of the latest market developments.
Once the app has launched, Paradise will be recruiting more talent and increasing the number of exercises available, creating predefined workouts to make it even easier to use, and expanding on the social aspects to allow people to further replicate a class experience by being able to chat with one another while doing the same exercise routine.
Fundamentally, through the development of Ability Fix the team at Paradise are trying to help bridge the gap between the clinic and the gym. The firm’s team is excited to see how its solution progresses post-launch and will be hoping it will become a hit with caregivers, healthcare professionals and physical therapists over the coming years.
Additionally, the team will look into bringing the interface to the Apple Watch, and perhaps other fitness trackers, so that it can enhance its usability as the solution develops.
