Healing from the Inside: Living Fully as You Age (second edition) 2025. This book has the dual focus of health and aging. The first edition Healing from the Inside: Guide to Holistic Health and Healing (2023) placed the emphasis on health. From feedback, however, it became clear, that more attention needed to be paid on changing how we look at aging. For this reason, the tagline was changed and some additional content added to bring out the importance of reimagining health as a means to reimagining aging.
Healing from the Inside rests on the understanding that lasting well-being grows from within. Healing is not something that happens through pills and procedures, but something that unfolds through honest self- examination, healthy self-love, and balance. As we age, we are invited to listen more deeply to the wisdom of the body and the quiet guidance of the heart. By tending to our inner world—our thoughts, emotions, and energy, we create the conditions for physical, emotional, and spiritual renewal. Aging, then, becomes not a loss, but a journey toward wholeness, presence, and inner peace.
