Health practitioners measure health in various ways. In Western Medicine, it is often broken down into a variety of numbers and diagnoses, which often don't give a complete picture of a person's overall health. Modern medicine’s tendency to only looks at the body in sections of individual symptoms and pieces rather than the whole system it is has also proved to have its own challenges.
[William McGirr](https://instagram.com/william_mcgirr), holistic healer and the founder of [Two Peacock_s_](https://instagram.com/twopeacockss), an alternative wellness studio based in Manitoba, Canada, has discovered a way to achieve perfect health truly, he says.
"To truly achieve optimal wellness in the physical, mental, and spiritual sense, we have to be viewing and supporting the body as the incredible system it is. Holistic healing is the only approach that looks at the whole person: body, mind, and spirit," McGirr says.
**_Optimal Health – the Primary Goal of Holistic Healing_**
McGirr says that holistic healing has one goal – to achieve optimal health. And this can only be done by gaining proper balance in life. Holistic healers believe a person is made up of interdependent parts. If one part stops working properly, all other parts are affected. In other words, if someone has a physical, emotional, or spiritual imbalance, their overall health will suffer.
What makes Naturopathic practitioners different from medical doctors is that they try to find the root cause of the problem instead of just treating the symptom, says McGirr. For example, when someone who suffers from migraine headaches visits a Naturopathic practitioner, they won't be given only medications that ease the pain. Rather, a holistic healer will look at all the potential factors that may be causing the person's headaches, such as diet and sleep habits, stress and personal problems, and even preferred spiritual practices. In most cases, he says the holistic treatment plan will include practices and lifestyle modifications to help prevent the problem from recurring, not just for relieving the symptoms.

After founding Two Peacocks, McGirr says he made it his mission as a holistic healer to help as many people as possible transform their lives. His studio promotes a different understanding of diseases in general and how to deal with them. He says he started the #FreeYourPeacock movement, hoping to raise awareness of the importance of self-discovery and to help individuals discover the truth inherent to their internal struggles.
McGirr helps others transform their lives by finding the value in themselves. With the help of Yin-Yoga, Reiki sessions, regenerative detoxification, and breathing workshops, he allows people to heal their body and soul, so they can start living a joyful, fulfilled life.
Those interested in detoxifying their lives and achieving perfect health should join McGirr's #FreeYourPeacock movement. Unsure where to start? Visit the [Two Peacocks](http://www.twopeacocks.com) official website to discover how to embark on your transformational journey!
