Celebrating ITAVcollabs Practitioners During Women's History Month

As we commemorate Women's History Month, we pay tribute to women's remarkable achievements and contributions throughout history and in the wellness field. In this spirit, we further enhance and celebrate the inspiring journeys and impactful work of Aishia Manley, Shoareged Phillpotts, and Pamela Reynolds, three extraordinary individuals who have dedicated their careers to advancing holistic health utilizing integrative medicine.

Physical Health through Ayurveda

Aishia Manley, a compassionate Ayurvedic practitioner, approaches her practice with a deep commitment to holistic healing. Aishia focuses on the wellness of the body. In ancient India, Ayurvedic medicine seeks to balance mind, body, and spirit through herbal remedies, dietary changes, and holistic practices. It addresses imbalances in three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—to promote health and wellness. Drawing from the ancient Indian system of Ayurveda, Aishia incorporates personalized therapies and lifestyle recommendations tailored to each individual's unique constitution. Through this holistic lens, which acknowledges the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, Aishia guides her clients toward comprehensive well-being. Through personalized therapy sessions that integrate yoga, meditation, and psychoeducation, Aishia empowers her clients to cultivate self-awareness and embrace holistic wellness as a pathway to mental health.

Mental Health through Holistic Therapy

Shoareged Phillpotts is a Licensed Public Health Social Worker, that leads initiatives to address inequalities and promote inclusivity within therapeutic wellness spaces. Currently, as a therapist, she draws upon her wellness journey for insight. She firmly believes that authentic healing involves introspection across mind, body, and spirit. In her quest to underscore the significance of mental health healing, Shoareged cultivates a safe environment and integrates a holistic wellness framework. She shares her holistic wellness regimen by guiding clients through coping strategies like yoga, journaling, breathwork, and intuitive meditation. Collaborating with other wellness experts has further enriched her ability to support clients in their healing journey. She advocates for a holistic approach to therapy and hopes to inspire other therapists to do the same.

Spiritual Health through Energy Work

Pamela Reynolds is a visionary in the field of holistic healthcare, with over two decades of experience as a holistic health care provider. As the founder of Inspired Thru Nature, Pamela offers a comprehensive range of services tailored to promote holistic wellbeing, including health assessments, detoxing, and nutrition counseling. In recent years, Pamela's practice has expanded to incorporate energy work, such as Shamanic Reiki and Sacred Heart Work, further enhancing her holistic approach to healing.

Empowering Change Together

Together, Aishia, Shoareged, and Pamela epitomize the spirit of Women's History Month through their unwavering dedication to holistic wellness and social equity. Their collective efforts reflect the transformative power of women in shaping a more just, equitable, and inclusive society. As advocates, leaders, and pioneers in their respective fields, they inspire individuals and communities to embrace holistic approaches to wellness, challenge systemic inequalities, and strive for positive social change.
​
As we celebrate Women's History Month, let us honor and celebrate the legacies of Aishia, Shoareged, and Pamela Reynolds, whose passion, advocacy, and leadership continue to shape a brighter future for generations to come. Their tireless commitment to holistic health and social equity exemplifies the enduring impact of women in advancing positive change and creating a more equitable world.
