Praise for this book
“Pip Waller addresses some of the most important questions raised in modern herbal practice. Unlike biomedicine, we approach the body by systems because this is what is suited to a nature-based, holistic approach. Holism doesn't look at the molecular lesion first, but sees it as the end result. Holism also starts with self-care and proceeds to professional care.”
“Deeply Holistic is a highly engaging and well-written book on how we as human beings function. I especially like how Pip has interwoven the self-care element, which is clearly laid out and easily accessible. I shall certainly be dipping into this book with my massage and anatomy and physiology students and clients. I would highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in human health and happiness”
“This is a much-needed manual for holistic living! It is one of the few books I've read that is genuinely holistic and very balanced in its orientation--drawing from both scientific understanding and traditional wisdom while free of the many fads that are popular in the health literature these days. I will definitely be recommending Deeply Holistic to my clients and students.”
