‘Diploma in Holistic Living Counselling’
This Course was developed to respond to a demand for mainstream personal growth support that had
- A Holistic approach
- Care and Genuine ‘empathy’ at its core.
- Promoted self-mastery rather than dependence on a practitioner
- Easily accessible training; Geographically, Personally, Financially
It was discovered that this need became illuminated by the day to day requests that from clients and practitioners who wanted to work in the same way, in their own private practice.
Alannah’s background in Teaching, Counselling, Family therapy, Communications and Conflict Resolution training, Parent Group Facilitation, Train the Trainer and a range of Holistic Health modalities including a ‘Diploma in Holistic Healing’ gave her the professional skills to create such a dynamic program that fills the much needed gap in society for emotional mastery.
Of greatest importance however was her own successful results after exploring, experiencing and experimenting various ways of healing her own physical body and empowering herself emotionally, mentally and naturally.

History of the 7 Living Essentials & the Diploma in Holistic Living Counselling
Alannah’s training and experience includes Emotional Mastery Workshop Facilitation, Communciations Training, Adult Education, Teaching Children, Family therapy and Holistic Healing that combine with her own personal discoveries of health and healing. From there she developed a method of self care and self healing that was translated into working with others on a one-on-one basis.
“The results were fantastic for myself and my clients. This course and other more extensive courses like the Certificate in Holistic Living Communications and the Practitioner training, are a way of articulating my discoveries to help others. I welcome you as you learn concepts and processes that when applied are helping thousands of people to find a life they originally only dreamed of living.” Alannah Dore
For a further explanation of how the 7 Living Essentials came about read the following account of Alannah’s personal journey.
“The content of the Diploma in Holistic Living Counselling and the philsophy of the ‘7 Living Essentials’ have been developed from very specific key influences in my life.
The first was my Mother, who demonstrated incredible compassion towards others. While I was still a teenager she became ill and never walked again. For the next 25 years her life was one of constant pain throughout her body. Yet she focused on listening and loving anyone who came in contact with her helping them with their problems and becoming the ultimate holistic counsellor from her bed. Though devastating for me to when she stopped walking, there was a wonderful blessing from the experience. I got to know my mother very well. As I cared for her we shared many a healing conversation by her bedside. We predominantly focused on what we both saw as the core of every thing worthwhile on this planet – COMPASSION. Authentic compassion, we agreed, had to include EMOTIONAL HONESTY with SELF and OTHERS. As we attempted to ‘understand the problems of the world’ we did this not only by looking at the world around us, but by exploring our own inner challenges and responsibilities together. These bedside philosophy sessions were to continue well after I left home over the next 23 years untill she died.
The next key influence came after I had my first two children. My immune system broke down severely and I was diagnosed with Post Natal Depression. Specialists eventually advised that there was nothing that could be done for the physical breakdown of my body and I felt that nothing was being done for my emotional and mental well-being either! I was offered a cocktail of ‘antis’ – antidepressants, antibiotics and anti-inflammatories.
One day in order to get a nappy to change my baby, I found myself crawling across the floor because the pain in my legs was so bad. Halfway across the room I collapsed in a crying heap. Then a penny dropped! I realized I had a choice, even in these most debilitating circumstances. I decided I would only accept the ‘hopeless’ diagnosis I had been given (“You will never get better. You will get worse”) when I had exhausted all possibilities of healing.
I soon realised I couldn’t live long enough to do that!
It was a defining moment, which determined the choices I made and the consequent direction of my life from there on.
The third major influence was embarking on my journey to discover a way to heal and support my WHOLE self. This journey was the best training I could ever have and predominantly involved healing the emotions and subconscious parts of myself by supporting EVERY aspect of me. It was not enough to access healing through just the mind, or just the body, or just the emotional wounds , or only through energy. Instead I decided I wanted a thorough healing and to do this I accessed EVERY part of me. It was fast, thorough and effective. This is why I appreciate and endorse an authentically ‘Holistic’ approach.
Once I had discovered that how I was handling my emotional life was not only affecting my happiness, but was directly related to my physical health and to my children’s wellbeing, my motivation was huge. While healing myself I also found myself over the years to come experiencing and developing many powerful personal development tools particularly suited to holistically supporting the emotions. After more than 20 years of discovery, evolution and experience I still find that the underlying single most powerful motivator in all of us, are the emotions. Yet the emotions are directly affected by mind, body, heart and spirit. Hence Holistic Living provides this ongoing all round support in action.
Countless lives of my students and my clients and my students as graduates and their clients, have been changed forever because they discovered Holistic Living practices. This is turn has affected the lives of loved ones of those who have embraced the 7 Living Essentials.
May Holistic Happiness be your life choice!
I look forward to sharing it with you!”
