The first time that I worked with a natural health and wellness expert on a book project, I collaborated with noted herbalist Brigitte Mars on The Country Almanac of Home Remedies for Fair Winds Press.
From the beginning I was struck by the vast amount of knowledge that she possessed, the years of experience she had in her field, her passion for her subject matter and her compassionate approach.
Why a Holistic Approach Matters
Knowledge, experience, passion and attitude are important when it comes to writing just about any book, but it really matters when you’re writing about natural health and wellness.
That’s because often health and wellness books are written from a more conventional perspective. Think: The 10 Step Plan to Beat Diabetes, 25 Ways to be Allergy-Free or A Practical Guide to Living with ADHD.
These books are written using conventional wisdom which can provide effective solutions (I’ve edited and coached many of them) but can sometimes fail to give the reader the big picture and connect mind, body and spirit.
Books outside of this realm need to be thorough and complete because often they are challenging conventional thinking. They are showing another way to healing.
A Holistic Message to the Reader
A passion for natural health and wellness usually comes out of personal experience. Experts in holistic, alternative, integrative, and functional health are driven by a deep belief in the connection between mind, body and spirit and an approach to wellness that is comprehensive and whole.
A herbalist like Brigitte believes in what she is saying because she’s seen it at work in her own life and with the clients she works with.
When expressed on the page, this message connects to readers because of the writer’s integrity, commitment and devotion to the healing she practices. This means that the message to the reader is powerful, resonant and lasting.
