Holistic Health and Nutrition Practioner

Spiritual Guide, Whole Medicine & Healing Minister

Hello, I am Dr. Sixto Sicilia (C.N.H.P., C.H.N.P). the founder of @integral mind and bodywork, a Holistic Wellness practice, and issimoUSA. I am a Certified Natural Health and Holistic Nutrition practitioner, Spiritual Guide, and Whole Medicine & Healing Minister and A.A.M.A. board certified.

Knowledge is everything and applying knowledge empowers one to be aware of the Self and the intimacies of the body, mind, and soul. This Triad is a never-ending journey in mental, physical, and spiritual health. Through Psychoneuroimmunology,  proper diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes we can help tackle symptoms of unhealthy living.

At issimoUSA we create healthy lifestyle products that adhere to the belief that that the Outer Self deserves as much care and attention and the Inner Self; reconnecting your mental well-being with your overall physical presence! As the founder, I continue to develop authentic Organic and Natural products (for over 20 years now) for optimum self-care and self-worth.

I was born in La Habana, Cuba, and have resided in Los Angeles since 1967. I bring a wealth of knowledge in all things of the “human condition.” Having left my native country at a young age, I learned that strength and character come in all shapes and sizes. We were taught ”all experiences” are an adventure (Amor Fati) and a meaningful path. The day we departed Cuba with an unknown journey towards “freedom, “ as we boarded the plane Mom says, “Welcome to your new life.” Nothing more, nothing less. We were to make it a great new adventure!

Holistic Health and Nutrition - We believe that the window to healthy overall wellbeing lies in maintaining a well-balanced source of vital energy and avoid enervation. There is a concept that when we learn to surrender our bodies to our minds, our minds to the soul, and the soul to the power of the Universe we become better aware of ourselves, we pay better attention to the present moment and seek a sense of inner peace and purpose. We become aligned through body, mind, and spirit with a practical pragmatic approach to life. We begin a new journey in natural health and healing.

THE PROCESS:

Through Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI), a paradigm that consists of the effects of three major components: the psychological (emotions and thoughts), the neurological (brain and nervous systems), and the immunological (immune system resilience to disease), we begin to understand the importance of better thought management; of making lifestyle changes; of maintaining a proper diet and exercise regimen to help tackle the causes of unhealthy living. PNI in simple terms is the study of the effect of the mind on health and resistance to disease. Let me help you integrate methods and help you explore ways in which attitudes or emotions naturally help the process of well-being. We all have unique health and wellness goals, from making healthier nutrition choices to managing stress and anxiety. I will help you understand the importance of balancing vital Nerve Energy.  

 There is truth to the saying "we are creatures of habit." The brain is a perfectionist. It will set itself on a course to ascertain that any "Habits" set is attained, whether good or bad. When your mind takes hold of an idea, it will do everything in its power to manifest it. I am here to assist you in implementing sustainable long-term well-being habits. We will address general conditions and transitions in personal life, relationships, profession or specific personal projects, or career aspirations. If you are willing to do the work, we will work on a course of action to make your life more mindful and content. If under the care of a doctor or dietician I can help in the process of accountability.  

As a Certified Spiritual Guide, I believe in the power of self-worth and self-exploration and becoming aware of the existence of Soul: the spiritual intrinsic guidance that impacts all areas of our lives; our physical connections, our careers, our relationships with nature, and our relationships with food and a naturally healthy lifestyle. The Soul is that part of our existence that seeks a higher consciousness, a deep search for connections to the present moment and to what one feels is significant or sacred. As a Whole Medicine Minister, I am in a position to teach from an unbiased position using my “First Amendment Protection Rights” for Spiritual & Religious Freedom.

By helping implement healthier lifestyle modalities: nutrition, managing stress, and anxiety, exercise routines, yoga or meditation can be a challenging journey. I see this journey as an alliance between practitioner and client. This relationship ultimately empowers you the client to recognize their own magnificent Self. Together the journey will be bountiful.  

We make choices every day which may range from the profound to the trivial and each one of those choices has an effect that makes our lives more fulfilling or less fulfilling, more balanced or less balanced. Choices that make our process of living more effective or less effective. Creative guidance helps you learn how to make choices that create an effective, balanced, and fulfilling journey. We will look at this journey from different aspects from a Holistic Health perspective. To your health, Naturally!
