Seaside Freedom® was conceived to fill a void in the market, with no intention of replacing existing practices or methods employed by other professionals. Instead, we are here to contribute to the fight against misinformation and ignorance. Allow me to elaborate: There exist alternative pathways towards achieving a desirable sense of relief and satisfaction, which often need to be discussed more. When we share the ability to manage and regulate one's perception, many established health systems and how health is commercialised could become obsolete.

The traditional biomedical wellness model must be updated because it contradicts the emerging wealth of information from alternative fields like psychoneuroimmunology, energy medicine, and holistic health. This dominant model, prevalent in most Western healthcare settings, operates under the belief that health is defined purely by the absence of illness. This restrictive perception of health overlooks the holistic dimensions of wellbeing, encompassing emotional, mental, and spiritual health. The biomedical wellness model frequently relies on pharmaceutical interventions and surgeries, often invasive and accompanied by potential side effects. In contrast, complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) underscores the symbiosis of body, mind, and spirit. Conventional and alternative therapies are not adversaries but rather complement each other. Holistic elements such as vitality, spirituality, and natural healing often hold pivotal roles in clinical medicine and prevailing cultural values pertaining to healthcare. Therefore, the necessity to construct an integrative healthcare system that caters to diverse consumer needs and fosters dialogue between varying perspectives is paramount.

This is where Comprehensive Somatic Energy Psychology (CSEP) enters the picture. Our practitioners are unwaveringly dedicated to offering clients the deepest respect and support as they navigate complex mental health challenges. Embracing a "Dare to Care" mentality and a "Care to Dare" philosophy, we guide our clients toward holistic wellbeing. In response to this, Seaside Freedom® was established. Despite resistance from the existing establishment, we believe that demand from the public will continue to propel the integration of alternative medicine modalities into mainstream medical care and health promotion. However, it is vital to note that alternative medicine is merely a component of the holistic movement. The shift towards holistic health is substantially broader; it entails a fundamental transformation in our assumptions and beliefs about why people fall sick, how they recover, and what they need to achieve optimal health.

We exist to address these queries because the public deserves alternative perspectives and options in how they understand, experience, and promote health. Education and promotion are crucial, and Seaside Freedom® is steadfast in its mission. We remain confident that the exploration of consciousness will emerge as the prevailing theme in health promotion within the next two decades.
