About Us
Hi, my name is Tracy Kershaw, I am 45 years of age and owner of 3 holistic, alternative, complementary health companies within Liverpool, England.
I am an integrated health specialist of 15 years and owner of AWARD winning holistic health clinic Buddha Therapies in Liverpool. My personal integrity is my passion, an affinity with people, nurturing them to recovery and growth often when they are mentally and physically depleted and my personal resilience I try to teach to others too, is your emotional and spiritual strength which enables you to enjoy life, survive pain, disappointment, and sadness. We, the practitioner absorbs other people’s pain and hurt and are still able to carry on every day while keeping ourselves ok.
In 2014, I was diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome. It is a kidney condition which causes deterioration of the nephrons in the kidneys and gives rise to serious health symptoms such as high blood pressure, oedema, fatigue, and kidney failure. The only options given to me by three Renal consultants at The Royal Liverpool Hospital were long term steroids, blood pressure and water tablets, chemotherapy, and dialysis at a later stage. I asked them if I could have 6 months to try and heal it myself and I rid the symptoms within 10 months, after all the tests it had disappeared.
I meditated, took more time off work, practised yoga, exercised, walked in fresh air, had countless holistic treatments, and changed my diet to organic, cut out cheap meat, chemicals in food, took certified organic supplements and walked away from negative situations. I now use myself as an example that holistic well-being can help you spiritually, physically and mentally.
Where it all began at Buddha Therapies, our team continually work and train together to boost healing methods to able to offer clients a more extensive range of individual prescriptions suited to their health conditions with an array of knowledge and therapies. We treat many conditions such as fertility, migraines, spinal injuries, digestive problems, insomnia, COPD, Raynaud’s, arthritis, lupus, acne, tennis elbow, menstrual issues, cancer plus much more, our services are available on our website www.buddhatherapies.com.
My leadership at Buddha Therapies is completely based on its service. To provide health, well-being and compassion to the clients, staff, and myself. I study, research, and learn to help our staff give the best they can give and to help empower them through compassionate service, to take control of their own health and to awaken the healing power inside them. Integrating the best of modern medical science and ancient eastern healing methods, we promote well-being on an emotional, spiritual, and physical level. I deeply believe that the message and importance of holistic therapies as preventative medicine should be taught to everybody.
We have been voted best holistic business every year from 2015 to 2023 in Liverpool, with Liverpool Lifestyle Awards and National Beauty Awards, and in 2015 came runner up to Edge Hill University in Liverpool at the House of Lords in London for a national “Mental Health First Aid champions award”. In recognition of the work we do with children, we were asked to attend different schools across Liverpool for children with behavioural problems and mental disabilities, to help guide them on their journeys when they leave school. We talk about employability, my journey and health and well-being with our business.
Also, in recognition of the work we do with fertility, we were asked by Professor Charles Kingsland, the head of the whole Northwest for IVF fertility, to host a talk in the Hewitt centre in the Liverpool Women’s Hospital and Knutsford regarding what we provide and how successful acupuncture is with fertility treatments.
Buddha Therapies Academy was created in 2016, to deliver alternative, holistic, complementary, traditional eastern Asian and Traditional Thai Medicine courses, our academy has won “Best training provider 2019 in Liverpool Lifestyle” and “Best Holistic Academy with The Guild of excellence in 2022 with The Guild of excellence”. Our exclusive courses are practised worldwide, and we are extremely blessed to have been given the opportunity of working with a Doctor of Traditional East Asian Medicine, Dr Jong Baik, with students from all over the UK and Isle of Man, our academy has gone from strength to strength ensuring ancient practises are still utilised today in modern society.
From an extension of the healing work we deliver from teaching and treating, what we ingest, absorb or inhale is extremely important for a healthy internal and external environment, we discovered that interlinking nutrition and cutting out chemicals was a key factor in health,
The Buddha Apothecary was then created, we are a holistic boutique of therapeutically based natural skin and body care, Supplements, Teas, Tinctures and holistic goodies available at Buddha Therapies or online at www.thebuddhaapothecary.co.uk , specialising in creating products to help different symptoms and conditions, earth friendly, eco-friendly, biodegradable, natural, organic, vegan with no mineral oils, PEG,s, parabens and perfumes.
One major factor we must be extremely aware of nowadays is stress, stress accounts for a huge amount of illness, holistic therapies and unnatural chemical free products can offer one of the best ways of combating the trauma of stress without having to resort to drugs which can be habit forming and damaging to your health.
Physical illness that has continued over a long period causes a negative emotional state, and this can eventually lead to a compromised immune system. Scientists have proven that negative and positive emotions really can change the complex chemistry of our bodies, and these changes can have a negative or positive effect on the immune and hormone system. This is why we have to take all of our lifestyle challenges into account and understand the word Holistic as a whole approach.
